FAW, I think you need to go to the track instead of talking shit. Your kinda still in the same boat as jibberjive and 8nothing as far as track performance is concerned. Regardless of how much they have spent…a flower pot is a flower pot whether you spent $4k on it or $40k.
I told you before to run for your own satisfaction…not ours, but that was before your antagonistic threads towards other members started. So at +4 karma…get the damn thing done!
How much did your whole build and car cost you?
Do you think the time slip you received was worth the money you spent?
Do you think your car is faster than the time you ran on the track?
Is your car faster than what’s documented on that time slip?
Can you and answer one more question for me please? With my single, my best time was a 14.5…I believe. Do you think my car would run faster than that, or slower if I ran it again?
I do not think the money he spent was for satisfaction over a piece of paper.
Last time I went to the track there was an s5 next to me. My 60’ was 2.5 his 2.1
My 1/8 was 9.672 @70mph, his 9.375 @74mph.
My 1/4 was 14.456 @110mph, s5 was 14.510 @98.74 mph.
Saki, like you have said in the past, dyno numbers mean nothing.
Can you answer two questions for me.
I would guess that your car has the ability to run a much lower ET, I have no idea about trap, it may go up as well. Practice hard launching will definitely net you some time
Your 110mph trap clearly shows you should be mid 12’s
FAW your just talking in circles like jibberjive…
I have timeslips against 2 different S5s in my RS4. One was bone stock and auto, and he ran 14.x @ 97 MPH. The other had a tune and catback and ran 13.51 @ 104. They are usually slow when they run for whatever reason. Drivers maybe? Both times I ran against the S5 my RS4 was 12.8-12.9 @ 108
The fastest stock S5 timeslip I’ve ever seen (bhk1004) went 13.4 @ 102. Theyre too slow for the power and torque they make. I’m not sure why. Not many have gone, and those that have usually run 13.5 in great conditions.
If you run your car again, the result could be DRAMATICALLY different.
a) you ran that slow ass time at waterfest didn’t you? a.k.a. hot fest. a.k.a. shit density altitude fest.
b) your ET was insanely bad. Your trap should be good for high 12s. That was in shit DA.
So you could certainly run 12.4 @ 114 in 0 feet of desntiy altitude with some good driving and better throttle tuning done. Why not?
Thanks for responding without insult. I just wanted your opinion to shed light on the obvious. Just because I, or someone else runs a certain time, it doesn’t necessarily mean that their car is what it ran. My 14 sec pass, Jupiter’s 13 sec pass, or anyone else’s for that matter.
I will hopefully be going back soon if my CLUTCH holds up and my fuel pump gets situated. Been having those problems for over 18 months. Trying to do better than my 14.5
I’m not trying to prove anything, just trying to best my last outing at the track
Yeah, we can get pretty wrapped up in a timeslip. However if we have timeslips from multiple cars showing the same patterns, we can start to make some educated assumptions.
Your car trapped 110…when was that? Was that at waterfest indeed? What was the date and time?
Would be interesting to see the density altitude.
What tune were you running (a daily driver pump file? A race file? A meth file?)
Why was the ET so bad (relative to trap)? What do you think hurt you there?
Just looked up the DA when you ran.
Density Altitude: 2145 feet
Relative Density: 93.87 %
So basically dogshit conditions considering RIGHT NOW at E-town the density altitude is -916 feet.
I didn’t want to drive it that day because my clutch was slipping a little. My friend begged to drive it on the track. I told him not to launch. I told him to take off like an old lady. He missed 3rd then got back on it. Because my clutch was slipping I turned my boost down just a little. I didn’t want him to completely destroy my clutch. 93 octane all around file. He also paid to run it on the track.
Consider this: 2 different suspension setups stasis co’s then Kwv3’s, Porsche BBK then AP Racing BBK, various rotors used with the Porsche BBK, Tial 605’s then 770’s due to failure, awe DP’s and twin two exhaust then 034 DP’s with their 3.5 inch exhaust. Recaro Sportster seats, upgraded factory speakers with components, amps, sub, head unit with bt and iPod controls, anything that could be done essentially was. Oh and fueling for both 605’s then fueling for 770’s, you get the idea… built motor eventually.
I didn’t buy this car and have the above done for a time slip. I enjoy this thing, it’s fun, it’s nice in/out and updated with a quality sound system and modern features. I enjoy doing road course events and running toe to toe with dedicated sports cars, m3’s, mustangs, etc.
Yes, I think it’s faster than what I ran and also what is printed on the slip. I’m working on it and will be logging it soon to determine areas needing improvement. Will it help all around performance yes, should I run better in the 1/4? Yes. This will also help performance on the streets and on the course.
I can assure you if my intention was to build a car to run a blistering 1/4 mile then I would have and you would know it. Hopefully you can accept the fact that the 1/4 mile is not my main focus.
Take a look at the mods SAW, no built motor, BBS LM’s (not the lightest) stereo stuff, full interior, no meth, no e85, no race file. Do you really think I’m trying to shatter records here?
All in estimate 40k but likely more b/c of labor. When the failure occured my car was not running for 3 months, otherwise in the 3.5 years and 45k miles its been pretty darn solid. I clearly pay for this and I’m ok with that.
The B5 is an amazing drug!
^^^why do people act like the 1/4 mile is anything other than an acceleration test?
You guys aren’t putting gigantic turbos on your car to do anything other than accelerate faster. FULL STOP…that’s why you go big turbo. To be faster.
The 1/4 mile isn’t a purpose. It’s a test to see how your car is accelerating. Remember…the thing you bought big fucking turbos for?
Claiming you went big turbo and all your mods but it’s not for the 1/4 mile is a cop. We see it a lot from people attempting to differentiate accleration from 1/4 mile. Why do people do that? Usually, because the 1/4 mile/accleration result isn’t good, thus it’s easier to denounce the relevance of the 1/4 mile.
There’s a guy on 6speedonline in the 60-130 thread who wrote a mission statement about the history of Porsche and how it wasn’t built for the 1/4 mile (explaining away ihs shitty 1/4 mile times). He went on to say that Porsche didn’t earn their reputation at the dragstrip lining up with Mustangs and Corvette’s. Then he went on to boast about his 60-130. Ummm…last time I checked Porsche didn’t eran their reputaiton tripling the speed limit on most US highways either with a nerdy little timing device on the windshield. It’s the usual. Do bad at quarter mile and then attempt to distance ones’ self from it.
I don’t get it.
I’m not hung up on the cost of people’s builds. When jibs first bagan his build, he was following in guru’s footsteps. He got marijuana manifolds and got turbo’s that he figured would be best for the 1/4 mile.
He posted in a thread over 3 years ago that when his car is built, it will be faster than my car would ever be. He said that his car and gurus ls1 swap would destroy my unfinished single Turbo at the time.
Guru never finished his car. JiberJACKass’s car has a fueling problem for over a year. I have an extra Walbro f90000267 for his flop if he is willing to put it in his car this week and take it to the track next week.
Me and jibs have history. He spent plenty money to be able to go fast, but now is making excuses because his car is not as fast as he expected it to be. His favorite excuse is, when my car is fully done he will take it to the track. Guess what? It will never be fully done. He is just stalling for another 3 years. Hoping that people like you don’t go and read his old threads on Audizine showing his true purpose of his build.
Holy shit 110 mph is moving. Nice work FAW. Have you got a slip for us? More for the time and date and to get you on the scoreboard.
7200 rpm, the gear I used is good for around 215. With regards to FAW talking about much builds cost etc I’m in easy for 100k by the times mines is finished in 10 weeks. I’ve not built mines to be the most powerful of the fastest I’ve built mines purely for my pleasure, I’m sure that’s what most people do. Maybe you should just enjoy yours instead of all the bitching that go’s on. Ill be back at a vmax event late this year with more power and a little more power due to the wide body conversion, I think it might go a tad quicker. Maybe 208-210 if I’ve got the balls, any idea if this forum will go on tapatalk so I can do a build thread?!
Dude, who the hell cares… Why do you keep bring up the same crap, over and over, and over again.
Until you actually go out and run a respectable time, you have no leg to stand on at all. You haven’t changed one bit except maybe for the fact that you seemed to have taken some basic English lessons?
You can a 14sec time at 110mph… great… so we all know the car is capable of a faster then 14 sec pass, so why don’t you just man up, sell some more crack or steal some more cars so you can fix your heap and make some decent passes down the strip this season. On video, no excuses. Your dyno numbers were impressive, and if you have any idea how to drive at that power level the car should easily be an 11 sec car.
I hate to break it to you, but when people are accelerating during their other preferred driving activity (ie daily driving, highway pulls, road course, whatever else someone might enjoy more than the 1/4 mile), not everybody accelerates in the same manner as would result in a good 1/4 mile time . I can’t think of the last time I launched from a dig at 4k+ RPMS on the road daily driving for fun. Accelerating on an onramp takes one or two gears at most before you’re up to speed, and it doesn’t matter if you’re not knocking the shift out of the ballpark or short shift. On a road course, launching the car is a complete non-factor, you rarely get out of gear 3, and when you do, shift smoothness for weight transfer is far more important than lightning quick shifting. If someone build a car to be a highway monster, maybe they don’t even care about speeds less than 50mph (oh no, Saki’s worst nightmare!).
The long and short of it, many people enjoy accelerating in their car everyday without it necessarily being requisite that they are able to live up to the internet’s demands in the 1/4 mile time, and some may never even visit the 1/4 mile, but they will enjoy their cars and upgrades just the same.

You’re the only person I’ve ever said that to, and I backed it up and made an explicit challenge to you to prove it. It’s a shame you weaseled your way out of it. And regarding Guru’s car, you probably shouldn’t try to use that as an example, because it wasn’t his LS1 swap, it was his GT28 swap that you said was slow before he finished it… and he ran a 10.5 E/T with it. You might want to keep that call out and getting shown up in the basement lol.

If you want to post links to any of my threads on AZ, by all means go right ahead. If one were to simply reference the initial post of my build thread, they would clearly see that what you’re saying is not true (that I picked my turbos with the 1/4mi as a #1 priority; it isn’t even in the top two priorities of my car/build).
Nice. I was curious because I am in Utah, home of the Bonneville Salt Flats, and I’ve been tossing around the idea of building a VMAX car (that will utilize the 01E). Congrats on the record! Cheers.
Fuck, I lost my entire post.
It may be a cop for some but it sure as hell isn’t for me.
Yes, I went bigger turbos to accelerate faster, you’re damn right. I’m not sure if you’re referring to me up there Saks but I’m well aware and agree that the 1/4 is a legitimate real world test.
My intended use was for road course events where speeds range from 40mph-170mph. I think bigger turbos do a great job here.
Should I say my mods and bigger turbos are intended for road course events? Center diff is for course events. Running SB’s Stg 3 enduro clutch. A DXD or some version of a 6 puck which might be better suited for the 1/4.
Instead of saying it’s not for the 1/4, I’ll say it’s for road course events. I failed in the 1/4, sorting it out can only help and will certainly improve the real world test that the 1/4 provides.
