2.5L top 20 1/4 mile thread (part dou)

[chezzestix]

Update on my 1/4 mile adventures. I haven't re-entered the thread because after my last post I kept scoring worse and worse. So I have been picking at my build trying to find weak points and I found a couple.
Leaky header/cat gaskets
HEAVY rims (now running 16" steels with proper rubber)
Persistent code (O2 #2 took a dump)
Sloppy torque mount that kept snapping bolts
Now she spins her new sticky 205s and I give unchipped GTIs a run for their money. But we aren't going to leave it there for my reappearance at my local dragstrip. No sir, I am ordering a short runner intake manifold. I may be pushing it a little but I plan to have the SRI installed by the 30th and have it on the car for the week leading up to the 6th to get the ECU used to it. So intake, SRI, shorty header, catless exhaust, chip, pendulum mount and lw pulley in sligtly high altitude Vegas. What do y'all think I can do?

[JC@DouglasVW]

Glad to see people getting out to the track.

Andre and I are back at it again and are working with a few companies on a 2.5L n/a build, we would like to go 12's all motor.

[thygreyt]

joel, care to share???

not planning on NA anymore, but i'm always interested in 2.5 development!

[JAK-RBT]

Glad to see this thread get some activity again. Our local track got shut down but hopefully will get bought and opened again soon.

[bunnyfufu]

not bad at all

thanks..i know i can get it lower if i could get a better launch. it was boggin down to like 2k after my wheels stopped spinning which it doesnt do on the street.i had my tires at like 30psi.i think next time im just gonna leave them at 35psi or whatev there suppose to be.

[Mr2.0]

Havent been to the track in a while. I'll be taking my car soon too. Doubt it will do anything special with stretched tires and all but we'll see.

Nice shifting!

Sorry Killer, the list has definitely gotten more competitive. You now have to beat 15.869 to make the top 20.

[bunnyfufu]

[bunnyfufu]

appreciate it! i just looked at what i did when i had all my parts and i got a 16.1... so yup still slow.

[Quinny45]

my laste time 15.63@89

my new time...

1/4 15.51@91 mph
1/8 10.01@71 mph
2.29 60ft

[BlackRabbit2point5]

I might do some 1/4mi pulls when I finally get back up on the dyno to setup my w/m just to get a general idea. Pretty sure I'm at least capable of mid 13s with my current gear

updated the list!

[jaja123]

do these runs require a 4th gear shift?

[bunnyfufu]

do these runs require a 4th gear shift?

when i did mine i never got into 4th. as i was crossing the line i was getting ready to **** but never quite made it...i suspect with a good launch you would but i kept boggin down after wheel spin.i also rev out high due to my tune so it really depend on what you have done to your car. hope that helps

[jaja123]

I have a carbonio intake and straight through exhaust, dogbone insert and weight reduction to 2700lbs with a low tank of fuel. Once I get the unitronic tune I suppose i may have to shift to 4th

[BlackRab08]

I need to get back for a new time. Since my last visit, I've added a bfi stage 2 tranny mount and the ecs crank pulley. I hope it does something...

[jaja123]

where do you guys expect a 2010 golf to land in terms of times. I have intake, exhaust, and bfi dogbone and car weighs a 2700 with weight reduction on steelies. I put down 163 whp on a dyno dynamics. Maybe low 15's? hopefully? at 90-92? thinking the lower weight would help. saw steevo's time of 15.1 at around 91 with just an intake on an 09. Oh and for people shifting below 6k on 09 and up its probably better to take it near redline as we make power later. My car actually made the most hp at 6200rpm I have a dyno post up somewhere in the forums. The car feels slower after 6k only because of the loss of torque but hp is what gets you up to speed quicker.

[tay272]

Haha what car were you racing on the first slip that did the 1/4 in 14.2 but was only going 65!? How the hell is that even possible or was that just a computer error or something?
