2.5L top 20 1/4 mile thread

[Erik04gti]

went to the track again last night, only made 1 pass as there were too many people and i really only wanted to watch

but the track wasn't prepped very well, i had a full tank of gas and some stuff in the hatch, with a crappy launch i went 15.3 @ 89.9 hehe

me thinks 14.9 is attainable with bolt-ons

[sharons03jetta]

what wheels and tires you run.....

[Erik04gti]

stock tires on my stock 17 inch visions pretty sure they are conti's

[burntbunny]

Just went to the track today. Went 15.01 at 101mph. I think it can do much better, because on the last run, I found the best rpm to launch it at, and can get better times. I seemed to lag while shifting into 2nd gear. It could also be that I had less than a quarter tank of gas in it, so maybe I wasn't getting enough fuel.
So, I am gonna go a few more times to get better times. But as of right now, this is my best time.

please dont ever say something like that again it sounds like you were having some major issues, but im sure you'll work them out

[burntbunny]

But either way, this still puts me somewhere on this list, even with problems. I talked with someone and they say that the fuel pump is located towards the front of the tank, so having less gas in the car may have adversely affected my time, because while running it today on private property, my problem with boost issue seems to have vanished. I filled the tank up completely and took for a quick hard spin. No lag, so next time I go, my time should be better.

Just keep in mind that my time is still high enough for the list.

IM jc@douglas to add your time to the list.

Whats you redline? Journal bearing turbos are more "laggy" between shifts.

[jc@douglas]

[ENRGZR]

everytime I ran, my gas light was about to come on. I would check other possible problems.

[burntbunny]

redline is at 6400rpm. Yeah, it is a little laggy. I am looking for a ball bearing turbo currently to correct this problem.

[easy cheese]

ran new times it got colder(52 degrees) and i got better traction and was able to launch at higher rpm's

times were
reaction 1.0326
60 ft 2.4284
330ft 6.7173
1/8 10.2661
1/8 69.41 mph
1/4 15.8707
1/4 87.96 mph
all stock still

i notice that the more i ran my car(hot lapping) the better it did i was runing it back to back with like 5min cool down with motor still on . any one eles notice that ? or was it just my imagination every run i did was a little bit faster then the one before it, i ran like 7 times like this.

so a completely stock 2.5 ran a 15.8 while a stage 2 2.5 ran 15.1...

wtf?

[burntbunny]

Just bought short shifter today, might go to track next month after a little practice with the new shifter.
Should easily be in the 14s.

[easy cheese]

well i know that with c2's kits,

stage 1 - 220 whp dyno'd, non-intercooled

stage 2 - 250 whp estimated, intercooled, more boost, upgraded programming

but people who have dyno'd stage 2 have varied extremely with actual whp. some have only seen mid 220's while someone has dyno'd at 247

i would also say that the stage 2 guy (no offense) can't drive to save his life... a 101 trap speed is a low 14 high 13 second pass

he and i ran identical et, but i trapped 10 mph slower

[burntbunny]

I ran a 15.01 not a 15.10. get your numbers right.

[easy cheese]

dude thats only a 10th of a sec 15.00 to 15.1

[burntbunny]

thats still a car length. and if you read my post, on my "last" pass, I found the correct launching rpm, and every pass I did dropped my time by 0.3 seconds, so my car runs a lot faster than 15.01. That time is only my fastest yet. I only have taken this car to the track once since the turbo kit, so I had 0 practice beforehand. Watch my time go down next month. My car is pushing 227whp and 277wtq, While most others are running between 239hp-245hp/229tq-239tq on Stage 2. My torque is higher than other stage 2s but my horsepower is lower.

yea cause if i paid 4 grand for a turbo kit, i'd be butthurt that i still ran 15's as well.

If yo didn't realize, all i said was that you weren't a good driver, but as i have stated befroe, im sure the time will go down

Listen I am really a Honda guy for racing but my almost COMPLETELY STOCK 2.5 Jetta automatic with colder plugs, 93 octane, and 150 shot went 12.97@110.08 because the dyno was down so we couldent re tune the civic, and we were really bored, I did this a while ago, do you all realize what you spend on parts and the times you are getting is not good. . . Keep your cars as a daily like me get a civic shell $500-1000 then a 1200 on a swap and a few dollars on good bolt ons and bam 13 second all motor car. . . What you spend to turbo the 2.5 is what it takes to make a low 11 second civic including buying the car. . . Unless you want to spend stupid amounts of money these VW's arent gonna be very fast HONDA best bang for the buck, and my VW is still faster then all yours and I spent the least amount of money on it. . . and on the street I get destrouyed by all motor civics all day. . . You should all come to s. fla. to see what real street racing is about. . . LOL. . . I'm sure I am gonna get a bunch of haters from this but hate means your are envious. . . So please put me at the top of your LIL LIST Egmmbah - 12.97@110.08, ill put video on youtube later for you all car is not even lowered. . . And I am not trying to be an ******** if thats how it comes across i'm just amazed that you all put this much $ into your cars and are satisfied with where they are at. . . And yes the car still has spray on it it has been almost a year not a problem in the world (not recommending it I just have warrenty so no biggie for me) I rarey use the spray though usually just to punk out R32's and stuff and watch their faces. . .

[Erik04gti]

yea south florida for real racing.... th last time i heard about racing there there was a orange supra wrapped around a tree

who cares if you have a fast honda, nobody, but good for you. as for a 150 shot on your auo jetta. wow, im so impressed

[MKVJET08]

of course you beat everyone else, you're spraying

and you are absolutely right, i'm a hater, i'm envious, i wish i was you.

...at least i don't own a honda

[easy cheese]

wow what vdub love.........

[burntbunny]

I moved from south florida to Orlando to get away from crap like honda guy. This is why I stopped doing imports, because the honda guys talk a lot of meaningless crap and start a lot of stuff, and the euro guys don't. Nitrous on a stock car is what imports do, not euros. It is just plain silly. And by the way Honda guy, if you want to run a fast time, buy a 89-90 Nissan 240sx for 800 and pay 1200 for a RB20
DET and run low 13s high 12s with a bone stock motor. 2000 bucks not 3000

[egmmbah]

almost the same times as an all motor honda with a TURBO 24o??? impressive. . . I aint trying to start crap im just saying think about it why put all this money into a car to make it fast when the average kid with a honda will smoke you if he know anything about anything. . . and if u run into a streetable shop car then u cant hang no matter what its simple power to weight ratio, and one u simply get more bang for the buck 15000+ car with 4k in it and u run 13-15's just put rims lower it make it look nice, unless u consider 13's fast and as far as a supra crashing it happens all day while racing unfortunatly in every state period. . . But we do have good racing and fast cars NO OFFENSE most euros dont come out cuz they cant hang besides chris green from unforgetable now thats a fast jetta 9 second car, and he drives on the street (is a track car though) but if u dont do 12's or better on motor down here u are a spectator, and 11's or better at least with any forced induction. . . Liek i said not trying to piss u all off, I love my jetta but not to be fast its more like a joke if i were to say that I mean a friend of mine had a GTI with a K04s and a 100 shot direct port and it was pretty quick nothing crazy but we did have fun with it for a while. . . And can I please have my name on the list

[easy cheese]

every were i been there is faster cars then me but i find races that is my same class, hp or what ever...just because i dont have a 12 sec car dont mean you cant race it means i dont race a 12 sec car.
