icon6.gif  supra qrt mile, phoaw Sun, 15 February 2004 14:12 Go to next message
howdy boys, thought id post on behalf of ryley.
we took his supra to the qt mile today, and it was nothing short of dissapointing. ryley took a shot and got 19.6 or something, then i took a shot and got 19.24 or something, so practically the same. i got 19.6 the next run, its always around that...and thats on a decent start! when i did the 19.2 we had two passengers, and the rest was with one passenger. he has just had it re-timed, checked etc all of it should be running fine.....so i dont know. just thought we would share our pain. is it normal for a car to decrease in performance that much? are these just the times we should expect ie. will they differ that much from factory specs etc. haha <insert, "depends on the car, and how it is maintained" here>

yep

btw, my sa63 beat it in a drag, and got similar times. even the bronze warrior would give it a shake Twisted Evil

opinions would be appreciated

could it be attributed to the fact that i cant launch the damn thing? i either bog down or squeal the tyre's arse off.

also, what are good shift points? im usually first into second about 5200-5400, then 2 into 3 about 5000, 3 into 4 about 4800-4900...

or am i getting over-analytical? Very Happy

in the (only) stock ma61 I owned, shift points was 5.5k-6k, it was still making excellent power at that point.

the 5m-e can have it's timing advanced quite a bit if you run good fuel (98RON)

and no, 19+ is not normal

How are you trying to launch it? Perhaps letting the clutch take some damage is the way to go?

It dunno if anyone else has tried this, but using the handbreak is realy good in the shitsubishi. I dunno if this works in a RWD, but I let the front wheels pull, while the handbreak keeps me still while letting the clutch slip. Then when the lights change (this is just on the street) I let the handbreak go, put my foot down and let the clutch out slowly. I'm not sure if this works on cars with actual power, but you would be suprised how easy it is to get wheelspin out of the Lancer, well before the 40W-70 oil went in.

hmmm...

yeah its the stock 5me, running optimax (98 ron) and timed at 16 degrees, which is what some petrol site recommends for 98 octane fuel...

with the launch, i was used to getting the revs up and dumpnig the clutch with the celica (no power, so it'd grip and take off)...

ive learned that dont work in the super supra. ive tried holding th revs at about 3k or so, or whatever, and taking off with minimal bogging down or wheelspin...um...

grant tried slipping the clutch, while keeping the revs at about 5k, didnt bog down, a little wheelspin, took off okay, and we still ran a 19. mind you, that was with 2 passengers.

we got a 0-60 in about 5 seconds too.... evil???

are we short shifting??

whats going on?!?!?! Very Happy

It'll blow up faster, necessitating replacement with a better engine!! Laughing Otherwise it'll take months or years of abuse before the 5m-e carks it!

Also, the 19sec 1/4 mile - I remember years ago Street Machine magazine bought a 120y, stripped it down to reduce weight and recorded a 19 sec 1/4 mile with the dead stock motor. So you're at LEAST as fast as a 120y Very Happy Very Happy

whether i strap a turbo on or not will be dependant on why my 5me is slow at the moment.... if somethings stuffed with it, of course i wont do it. its only done 121,000 kms, so hopefully its alright. Very Happy

Man, I'd be taking that thing to a weigh station, see if somebody hasnt lined the car with lead.
I'd be expecting mid 17's at worst with a manual 5m-e.

Check your oil, too thick will inhibit a lot of performance.
Make sure she's breathing properly, both in and out.
And make sure spark is good.
Test all leads. Replace all plugs with NGK 6BPR5EY (I think thats the model), if you havent all ready (its worth doing every 5-10k kms for the $20 it costs).

Check tyre pressure, als, check rear suspension, if it bogs down too much, you may need new shocks/springs.

And above all, when doing a QT run, don't take passengers, especially if you want to see how quick the car is.

I think it runs shell helix.

I've checked the intake and throttle body- but Allan seems to think my airflow meter has been tampered with. Should I just say fuck it and get a new one?

I know it's had a hotdog muffler put in it, should I check the whole exhaust?

They are new spark plugs Confused

They are still original spark plug leads. I'll be purchasing them tomorrow.

Its got pedders shocks all round, and I run about 32 psi tyre pressure. Whats a good pressure for 14x7s?

Quote:

Yeah we've thought of this. Mind you Grant's SA63 ran a 19. something with one passenger, and my mighty RA60 runs a 20.

Im getting 0-100 in about 12 seconds. They are said to be around 10 stock, and Ed managed to get his to 8.9 on a g-tech with no passenger.

One more thing- When i rip a burnout I leave 2 black lines, thick and steamy. This means my LSD is working good guns, right?

Thanks y'all. Very Happy

well, we measured the r31 skyline with the same mobile phone. thankfully it ran a 19.4 as well, but, the driver is shit.

its the same r31 i beat in a drag in the supra. Evil or Very Mad

what we need to do is measure the supra and other cars, namely, the bronze warrior and the white stallion, and see how the times compare using the same instrument. i doubt its that though.

Mates manual skyline with nothing but exhaust ran 16.05 on its quickest run
So i'm tihnking 16.7ish for stock, maybe 17 for auto.

So, I will tell you now, take it to your local organised drags asap, and find out what she does

EDIT: That was an R31 too, series 1

my sa63 just ran a 19.8 with passenger. now, you may be thinking so what? but this is quite remarkable...i have thrashed him now for one year and only replaced the water pump, and when i say thrashed i mean bashed and beaten...he now boils constantly, and i mean constantly, so its either a head or gasket, or radiator, or whatever, coz it doesnt matter, i just fill him up and rock and he does the rolling. he has oil coming out of nearly EVERY joint in his tiny little motor. but tonight, he rode like the white stallion that he is. i take my hat off to you my dear friend.
also, he has been unregistered for about a month, and my boy keeps me out of trouble. when i want it, he delivers, no matter how fucked he is.

*back to ryleys 19 second supra...*

I hate to break the news Evil, but a few (few) months ago I was looking for a new AFM, and if it was "avaliable" would cost $900 Shocked .

So, buying one *brand* new from Toyota, I wouldn't because you can spend the money elsewhere Nod

Can't you get an after market AFM for it for a lot lot less? For $900, I would want the AFM to make me toast and give the car an extra 50kws at the wheels.

Yes you can use an alternative [MX62 (5M-E)] AFM which are more avaliable then the MA61 AFM, but I don't know what affects (if any) has to do with using the MX62 (5M-E)...

Can anyone concur?

okay, new updates.


got a loan of a G-Tech tonight- full tank of fuel, and a passenger. Here are my results.

run 1: 18.2 @ 76 mph approx (with passenger)
run 2: 19.3 @ 70 mph approx (without passenger- blerk)
run 3: 17.8 @ 78 mph approx (with passenger)
run 4: 18.3 @ 77 mph approx (with passenger)
run 5: 17.6 @ 80 mph approx (with passenger)

so thats kinda interesting.

0-100 times, were the following:

run 1: 11.9 seconds
run 2: 12.9 seconds
run 3: 10.9 seconds
run 4 i missed
run 5: 10.7 seconds

and a rwhp of approx 89.

so thats a slight reassurance, thats with a full tank of fuel too.

but, after talking to a friends dad (owns ballarat autopro)
they said the following:

get a complete fuel system cleaner product. whack it in the whole system- cleans everything, including injectors.

and the airflow meter- a guy that works there had a fouled/carboned up wire, (the wire that sense the amount of airflow) in his 180sx's AFM. do the ma61s have this wire?

he went on to say that, theres mesh in front and behind the wire (in the 180sx one) taking that off gives a dyno-tested 5-7 kw.

so yes... they said fuel system and AFM....


thoughts?????

cheers everyone Very Happy

just whacked an unopened 5me AFM on....

doesnt seem much difference, but did a 0-100 run on the g tech and got 9.8 seconds, no passenger.

again, seems a bit better, but still, room for improvement.

the new spark plug leads go on today, and the total fuel system cleaner tomorrow.

then another g-tech run.

then, the fate of the white nightmare's 5ME will be decided....


will it be turbo'ed?

will it just sit there and enjoy itself until being replaced by a 7m?

who knows Very Happy

okay

it turns out my clutch was fooked

new heavy duty one is in... and it seems like it flies off the line.... changing is a lot better, feels much lighter.

got a compression test done:

130
130
120
130
145
130

So thats pretty good, no need to fret about sticking a T03 on it Very Happy

Very Happy

You've probably already worked this out, but your car has no wire, nor any mesh, just a flap in the AFM.
