silverglanza Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 if i swap my pipes back round to the boost pipes so its like 9psi on hi and low 6psi would i get a better start when drag racing as it wouldnt spin up so much would it ? whats you opinion guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 well wouldnt wheel spin as much but in the first 2 gears you would only have low boost so you would have basically lost already because if your racing on roads cant go much past top end of second anyway and on a drag strip you would be most of the way down the quarter buy that time. just learn to use the throttle properly.

silverglanza Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 ok what k revs would you reccoment to drop the clutch?and how would you use the throttle ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I remember the fastest way to get my Mk1 Uno Turbo off the line (running 1 bar) was full throttle first until it JUST hit boost then a hard change (to keep it spooling) to 2nd with part throttle until mid boost then a smoother change to third, full boost and play with the throttle to try and stop it breaking into wheelspin.So in first you are just being really harsh to a 1.3 low compression engine (no boost) so no wheelspin - and it won't bog or wheelspin on the change to 2nd but you've got a few revs into the turbo from the end of first.That said, it was an uncontrollable peice of #####! Used to break into wheelspin in 4th in the wet if you pulled out to overtake someone at 40mph. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 well when i was on the strip i only got 5 shots and never managed a perfect one but think i was holdin about 3k then puttin the foot about 3/4 down after dumpin the clutch then managed to put the foot down in second because it was a hot dry day. but every cars different with tires and power etc soi best just have a wee play and see what works best.

Sparky Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I was running about 1 bar first and second and still getting decent launches after alot of practice Took me ages to get it right though TRD clutch and Diff took a bit of getting used to!Just experiment using different revs to launch etc it will take a while to get used to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
