Default Finally ran some decent times today.

No EMS, running on Azenis, and 10psi with a T3/T4E

60' - 2.078
1/8mi - 8.627@83.62mph
1/4mi - 13.279@106.82mph

There arent any other local turbo miatas, so I really have no one to compare times with. Does this seem like a decent time for 10psi?

I think any miata running low 13s is impressive.

Hopefully I can make some improvement next time, I have a set of shaved Toyo RA1s that i've been wanting to try at the track. Have any of you ever run a 2 step or something for launch control?

dude thats not bad at all, i ran a 14 at 12-13psi and the same tires. What is your suspension mods, rear camber, and launch rpm like? I am asking because while I ran a 14, my trap speed was 102mph and looking at your time that should put me at a 13.5 or so with better driving.

btw, i think i should mention that I had reaction times of about a second because it was my first time and due to a friends faulty explanation of how bracket racing works I focused on my launch instead of taking off immediately. I was under the impression that the winner was the person who had an ET closest to their dial in without busting and ended up loosing by .2 seconds to a bmw who was quite a bit slower than me just because I left late. Found out later its the person crossing the line first who wins. Dont think that it played into my ET though because i think the timer begins when my front wheels lift off of the weights.

not bad, I think you are probably giving up power somewhere though. a standalone is in order.

Picking up 23mph between the 1/8 and 1/4, not bad. The traps are there for 12s if you can get your 60' time down to 1.7-1.8.

What is the trim of your turbo and what are you doing for fuel?

Im running JIC Magic FLT-A2s, 500ft.lb/400ft.lb, front damper at half, forgot what the rear was at but it felt good so I left it. Im running 2.5* of rear camber. I tried launching at 3k, but the track was so sticky (120* track temp), it bogged really bad and yielded a 14 flat, so I upped it to 4k or 4200 and started hitting the 13s.

Im pulling max timing on my bipes (timing set to 18* before retard IIRC), havent really messed with it. Im playing it safe on timing untill I get EMS. Im selling both of my RX7s and the sound system out of one of them to fund MSPnP, so HOPEFULLY I will be able to order that soon..

Im running 65 or 70psi fuel @ 0psi right now, any more and the fitting on the diy rail starts leaking - the tap was slightly crooked so it ended up not sealing properly.. I guess JB weld doesnt fix everything after all lol. Once the new rail arrives I can finally up the pressure.

Whats your average 60ft? The track was insanely sticky that day, I usually average like a 2.16-2.20. I wish I ran a cam in the car so I could see what the heck I did on that run.
