474RWKW on 18PSI... Thats pretty impressive!

Don't suppose you have a link to your setup on the net or anything?
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Nice power, I dont think I'll check it out - most of the pro imports sound to be saving themselves for the Allstar shootout.

V 4 & Rotary Nationals – Secure Car Park Pass


Image

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Prepaid Car Pass collection will be from the Entry Booth at ASB Showgrounds, Greenlane on Saturday 27th January

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the first time ever, 4 and Rotary Promotions have allocated a secure parking area at Champion Dragway, Meremere for the drags on Sunday 28th January.

A fully fenced secure car park area situated beside the hill on the right hand side of Hynds Bridge. This car park area will be patrolled by security at all times throughout the event.

To keep your vehicles safe, security will check every vehicles ignition, door locks as well as making sure that there will be no public access to this area.

Once checked, the driver of the vehicle will receive a numbered armband which will be recorded by security alongside the vehicle rego number and full name. This will be the only way that you may be able to collect your vehicle. Only the owner of the vehicle and its passengers will be allowed in this area.

This area can be accessed from 8am on Sunday morning.

im gunna go, should be good, but i'll probably a bit slower this year. Hopefully the trans behaves itself - only need it for another couple months. Graeme Mcdonald is racing, going "All out" aparently, so that should be good to watch.

Anyone else manning up and getting it out there? :lol:

We are all ready to go, but at the end of the day we are going to try to push a 10sec pass out of the supra i know she got it in her to do it.

It should be definitely possible, there are quite a number of RWD Turbos with less power doing in the mid/high 10s bracket at the moment - if you can go beyond 18psi and get a clean run it sounds like it could really be something to watch.

What can i say, just what a day even with all are problems with splitting the intercooler hose every time i ran, i leave the line with 19psi and get half way down and only running 12--14psi so did not get one clean run but hey most of my runs was still 11.6 and still got into the sem finals then run against a 10.8sec corolla at that time as soon as i put her into second i ripped the engine off the engine mounts, but i still had a good day.

Damn!

Yep a lot of people dont factor in the costs of running a car with such high power levels.... you build the engine tough and powerful, and it starts to destroy everything else! :lol:

It's all part of the fun though I suppose.

Good luck for next time, that's an impressive result regardless.
