Just curious on people 0-60 feet times on the drag strip. Was playing at santa pod at the weekend but just having trouble getting off the line, really having to ride the clutch quite hard until i get boost.

Swifty box, 4.15 CWP, 2.1 first gear although my old Minispares box with std first gear was the same.
I seriously doubt it! |

Maybe its the 3.1CWP that's killing my starts? First gear is also 2.1 but comparing my timing sheets im sure that first 60 feet is particularly slow. |

if your having to ride the clutch hard, i take it you have plenty of grip? Not really, just 12's with 165/60 Falkens on. Seems to just take a while to make boost. |

If you are riding the clutch to make boost, as soon as it does make boost you are getting a big lump of torque, this overwhelmes the tyres resulting in chronic wheelspin, thus little forward motion, thus crap 60ft time.

I think my best was around 2.4 with a 2.95 final drive, 4 pin diff, standard metro turbo gear ratio's, 13" wheels and Yoko A539's. On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:

First gear is also 2.1 but comparing my timing sheets im sure that first 60 feet is particularly slow. its not the long overall diff ratio thats killnig your 60 ft times, its too much weight, no where near enought torque and poor traction for when and if you did have enough torque, example, when i was running one engine in the lightweight, i uaed the hoosier jr2 tyre at 5lbs max pressure,used a 3.9 fd and a clubman gearset,i also used nitrous, and my car weighed 398kgs . i could comfortably [and for best results] launch in 2nd gear using about 60hp of gas with 5lbs of tyre press , would comfortably pull 1.7 60ft and have the tiniest hint of wheel spin for a few revolutions then amazing traction . on a fully prepped track at the pod ive a ticket that shows 1.58 secs . i recently pulled a 1.86 sec 60 in the Don at the pod an a newly glued surface, my twinnie will pull 1.5/6 secs on a good start line, and yes its strange sensation pulling 2 g at launch, carl |

Thanks the replies. Interesting topic this, carl is probably quite close as mine isn't a stripped out street racer and is carrying lots of extra crap that will soon be removed (probably save 80KG or so). The engine isn't running full tilt yet but i cant see winding up the boost helping the launch? On the plus side the clutch is now holding strongly.

Damn Impressive that carl, that on the M and H slicks you have?. was up at the pod a few weeks ago with a friends CRX running a nice turbo setup, the new glue seems to work well as with the drag slicks we had too much grip and kept bogging the motor down. Im hoping on improving upon my 1.78 on road tyres this year if I can. or just throw caution to the wind and go slicks!

my times are for a full weight road car too. with tools etc. as tom says thekey is to lauch kinda off boost, and let the boost progressively build. it may feel slower to you as there isnt much fanfare and wheelspin, but your actual 60ft times will be much better as you dont overcome the traction limit of your wheels!
