Official 1/4th Quarter Mile, Drag Strip, Times.

[Branman]

Oh come on....dont play dumb.

Talk about beating a dead horse bro. You guys crack me up.

My car went 12.6@112 on 93 with full interior. Those numbers are in line with other ko4 guys with the same prep.

You admitted to your car not running 100% so for 1 why would you go to the track and 2 why would you get upset at me asking about your trap speed being low. If your car is not 100% it won't perform 100%.

You wouldn't believe the trap prep I do to make sure when I go down the track ( you know downhill cus I'm at Cecil ) I am getting the best time I can get. Most guys just go to the trap with zero prep and then complain cus there time wasnt close to someone else's. I get so many people ask me how I went so fast in PMs and I always try to help everyone. Most people don't realize how much I try to prepare for track. I do the same thing everytime i go and it seems to work for me. If you want to maximize you track experience you have to practice proper track prep.

I meant no disrespect for asking about your trap speed It was an honest question that's all.

[Branman]

Come on man. No need for that here. Besides, Branman is good people. And your trap is low so his question was legit.

Thanks dude

Btw got my peloquin in a week ago so now just waiting for a nice day to get back to the track. The hot weather crept up so fast I'm hoping I can make some passes before fall but not sure. I may just do some shake down passes and see what I can do with my 60' with the new found traction. I could use the practice haven't been down the track in a while.

That's great. Can't wait to hear how your gonna launch the car! I probably won't be able to make it back for a good pass until after summer. Shoot me a pm with how you felt the diff install was.

It sure did. I didn't get to take advantage of the cool weather either. Looking forward to seeing how it works out for you.

Some stock turbo TSI times from this past weekend's racing at Mtuba in KZN, South Africa:

Leeshan Naidoo from CPI Tuning:
Stock turbo Scirocco 2.0TSI DSG with full interior on an unprepped track: 12.58 @ 179.9 km/h

Riaz Junaid from Stealth Tuning:
Stock turbo Golf VI GTI DSG with full interior on an unprepped track: 12.7 @ 177.1 km/h

Durian Subraminian from CPI Tuning:
Stock turbo Golf VI GTI DSG with full interior on an unprepped track: 12.9 @ 175.9 km/h

I also raced and although my car was breaking up due to some spark plug issues, I also managed to do a semi-decent time of: 12.9 @ 170km/h in my Stealth Tuned stock turbo Scirocco 2.0TSI DSG.

Getting the car back to MIR on Sunday trying to set another record. The goal is to get get kicked out by running too fast. This time I will have a fully adapted 100 map.

Uhh... excuse me.. Mr. Steelcurtain.. we have to ask you to leave. You have no cage, and you're making the domestics look bad.

LMAO!! Especially the last part. Hell I do that now. Hehe

[ViRtUaLheretic]

LOL!
I cant wait to take my car back to the strip now that all my issues are sorted out.

I found out my Dad has an Infrared Laser Thermometer (silly engineers and their toys). I want to record the temperature of my intake manifold with and without w/m while at the strip.
Im going to try and do the same for AutoX.

Nhra regulation for cage plus a ton of other **** is 11.49 and faster. They're good peeps. I'm sure they'll let me get by on a few passes.

One thing different this time is I'll be running CAM2 instead of 260+. Big fuel shortage in my town this season. We'll see how it burns.

[DRedman45]

Ah got it...cam2 is good stuff...I think my dad still has a couple jugs laying around but it's 10 years old now haha

leaded???

Yep.

[GlfSprtCT1]

Yep.

isnt that a bit overkill?... and not good for our engines?

Meh. I need race fuel and that's my only option right now. Can it burn up o2 sensors, maybe. But I'm running it on the track and not daily driver.

Thank you! I've changed some suspension items do we'll see how it goes.

details? or you got an ace up your sleeve?

I can't give away all my secrets.

First time I've ever been on a drag strip, here are the numbers:

0-60ft: 2.425
1/8 mile: 9.125 mph:81.092
1/4 mile: 13.946 mph:102.835

This was done with my 2012 GLI Autobahn w/DSG on APR stage 1 100oct map, custom intake, stock dunlop's.

I thought this was fairly strong with such a crappy 60ft time, traction and tires were definitely an issue. Trap speed I thought was very strong for stage 1.

What are everyone's thoughts? Good/Bad

Car #18

[steelcurtain]

^ you should be real happy with that. My best on stage 2 and street tires was a 13.76 @ 101.

So my best time today was an 11.83. 1.9 60's and trapping 117. Time for new tires. The hoosiers are blistering and have fought a good fight. I was really happy with how the DSG performed after very poor performance the last time out. I ran basic settings on it and man what a difference. Shifts were on point.

I'm losing time with my powerband having to shift into 5th during the last 30 feet of the 1/4. Always been a challenge with the stock 6900 max rpm. I actually was letting it spank off the rev limiter since I wouldn't loose as much time as shifting. I remember when I ran the 11.53 I just made it to the line without having to shift into 5th.

Thanks steelcurtain! Your times are unbelievable from the little motor and fwd.

Do you have a recommendation on drag tires, I was debating maybe pulling the trigger on some BFG's in the future?

[Branman]

dont waste your money on BFGs. Hoosiers are the way to go!

Nice times Steel, you're uber consistent.

Branman, care to share your track prep via PM?

[pattrick02]

Thanks bud. I think I've found my catch can as the source. We'll see. Will you be done before the seasons over?

[pattrick02]

you're welcome. catch can, how so? hopefully yes. the car should be done before the end of this month. There will be other things I'll be adding on, but as far as the big turbo, built motor and head, and whatnot, that will all be done by this month..

This is actually a time for the FSI engine.

Is this the same event that the APR tuned Golf R did an 11.9? I believe it was the Mutuba Durban Drag Wars.

Hi Arin, I must say I am very impressed with APR's work. Yes indeed, Chad ran 11.9 with an APR tuned Golf R at Drag Wars in Johannesburg 5500ft elevation on 1st July.

Then this week-end 2 APR tuned cars ran 11.9 again in MAtuba, at sea-level. 11.9 in another Golf R & 11.9 in a Roc R.
