JHM S/C RS4 - Zimbabwe

Hey guys. Here’s a link to my fastest run so far since installing the charger. I ran a 12.1 @ 121mph with a 1.9s 60 foot. Temperature was at 90 Degrees F

^^ Welcome to the forum - pretty cool that we have members all the way from Zimbabwe. Would be neat if you had an NHRA-certified track near you.

Pretty awesome being in Zimbabwe and getting a JHM kit like this. Glad to see you’re getting great results even in the 90 degree temps. Any other mods to the car or previous fun cars & mods?

Welcome. Share some more info on the car!

Welcome I believe you’re the first one from that part of the world, pretty cool. Not to mention you’re charged! Yeah share some pictures of that beast of yours.

Hey man, its good to see you went to the track, there is some great numbers for your first run, better than mine!
That means i got to watch out for my tire set up or something else!:slight_smile:

^Practice makes perfect :wink: keep at it and you’ll get there man.

Great work and excellent mph in that da.

There’s still probably 3 tenths in it for you. Bogged the launch a bit, and I think you can knock out some quicker shifts although that ricers fast can really drowned out the RS4.

Welcome and congrats on a solid run. What were the other fastest cars there that day?

hey nabz. looking good. massive improvement over your best na run @ 13.45. are u regretting the decision to leave the air conditioning out yet?

are u still on stock clutch?

WOW that was his best run. I knew it was hot over there and that time makes sense given I dont think they have many tracks out there but then to go 12.1@121 is a great improvement. Add one more to the list of great performing JHM stage 1 cars.

And thats a good question. Are there any actual tracks out there. Or are they all just road side tracks.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Ive had the kit in the car for a year now and loving it.

We had a chevy cobra ran an 11.1s on the day. He was using nos though. There are lots of Modified Subaru’s in this part of the world due to their cheap import price. Guys go crazy with the mods and we have a few running low 12s.

Sadly we don’t have any specific drag strips here as we race on an un-prepped surface on a race track. The da doesn’t help as well as the weather so i guess we loose about a 0.5 to 1s compared to your tracks.

Here is a video of one of my 12.6s run at the track where I live. cant below 2.2s 60ft due to wheel spin. https://youtu.be/rW7i0q69ZwQ

The car has a 2.5inch exhaust all the way to the factory back box. Running standard road tyres and factory suspension. For this run i pulled the back boxes off hence the epic sound!

Im eagerly awaiting the charge cooled upgrade from JHM which would really help me along.

I did feel the heat on my trip to the other track without the air-con but my plan is to now get rid of the condenser radiator when fitting the charge cooler rad.

Im running a stock clutch which may need replacing soon :slight_smile:

There is a guy in South Africa running the APR 1740 kit that I would like to go and race once im charge cooled.

Cheers

Did you kind miss the third gear there for a bit!? :slight_smile:

I know I’ve seen reference to this guy on here. Is he a member?

There are a couple in SA with that setup. One of them may have sold his rs4 and bought an r8.

Another one blew his engine after a month with the kit.

I think he bought a new engine. Wonder if he stuck with it or if he has moved on.

@ Denrs4 - The car in the white ran a mid 11 that day so yeah, he caught up and beat me to the line.

Think he goes by the name Biscuit. He got it running again and just took part in a 1km run. He just fitted a JHM clutch to the car recently.

For shits and giggles I ran in 90F a couple summers ago and lost a full second.

It’s horrible!

Nabz - your intro post was just about as perfect as it gets with the acceleration timing and all. Now just post some pics! :slight_smile:

Cant seem to upload any but here are some Facebook links to a few pics of my car
