Here we go guys R36 1/4 mile

Ah cool! That's awesome then... You know exactly what your time is rather than having to factor in your reaction time.

[shaneth]

Yes it was good fun last night simon. I was suprised by the times most cars were getting. A fair bit slower then i have seen at other times.
But i dont mind a 14.3 though as it means its equal with my best time to date.

[Guy_H]

Thats a pretty good time, I have a couple of C63 customers who have run high 12's in their cars - the secret is (like always) in getting that one good launch.

Hub dyno run.



163KW at all four wheels. Car is stock...

Was that on a different run than you've posted?

lol yeah swallowtail its 162.7 not 163.

[Swallowtail]

No just rounded to whole numbers. If it had been 162.3 it would have been rounded to 162. At 162.7 it gets rounded to 163.

Well hypo takes bragging rights for now... with his heavier wagon with only 1500kms on the clock to mine with 9000.

Best my R36 sedan would pull tonight was 14.342. That was in S with launch control spooled up to its max of about 3100 - 3200rpm. 60 foot time was 2.123. I did 9 runs trying a few different things - manual mode letting it rev out, manual changing up earlier, manual mode stuffing up the gears (LOL), S mode, etc. The last run was the best one - I was up against a recent model V8 Holden ute (the 4 door one). He'd beaten me (rather comprehensively) on the previous run, but I pipped him by 0.15 seconds LOL on the last run.

There was one mental Sylvia that did a 2.513s 60 footer then scorched past me to still post a 12.8s 1/4. If he'd got traction better he'd have been VERY quick.

Temp was about 26 degrees C, so pretty warm. I had a mate there in a WRX and he couldn't get below 15s, even with 1.9s 60 footers. Another mate in a 'worked' C32 AMG pulled pretty consistent 13.3s.

All good fun, never done it before, so learned a lot! Would have liked to have got into the 13s though...

EDIT - I should add that I was in full street trim - spare tyre and towbar in the boot, 1/3 tank fuel. Next time the tyre and towbar are coming out LOL... Got the feel that the Launch control needed another 1000rpm to really get going. 3000 ish didn't feel like it was enough.

Whilst I am in the lead for QLD we should put up a table.

I really think that a run in June will make a big difference due to the colder temps.

I also tried manually shifting on one run with the car doing it at exactly the same time which resulted in the gearbox going from 1st to 3rd.

How man Km's are on your car?

[Swallowtail]

9000kms...

[Greggles]

Not sure where my times would be in my MY10 R36 sedan. I was getting low-to-mid 13s in my previous Rallye Group A Celica. Being a much lighter car running a largish turbo (stock at 16 lb boost) the pick in the pants coming onto boost gave one a real sensation of acceleration and top-end speed. My R36 doesn't feel as quick and this probably reflects the power comes on so linearly. Anyway, saving up for the exhaust, ecu and cold-air intake mods, so will see how she goes after a subtle tweaking and running in.

[Rocket36]

So we're heading down to Evolve Technik in convoy for the mods then?

LOL!!!! Not going to anyone that can't even get the make and model information right. Not to mention the figures they have quoted are low when you look at this STOCK graph of Swallowtail's R36 dyno run. Or is that the difference between a run on a hub dyno and a roller dyno?

[Swallowtail]

VW Passat R36TFSi???? wtf?

Typo.

I do find it interesting that their 'before' rolling road power run recorded only 132KW at all 4, and 154 after.

Just one of the reasons why I prefer the hub dynos - less variables to take into account.

BPS are no dummies - they do some serious hardware. I have a mate with a C32 AMG that they tuned, and it is very very quick... I wouldn't read more into the typo than that...
