Roland. I agree somewhat in that Strip time are more accurate thats why i stated cant wait to go to the strip to back up my data. On avg the G-Tech has been anywhere from as little as the .1 off as avertised to up to .6 off. Besides HP there's something else your not counting for either that could make it possible and that is Weight. The car has been lighten some 300 lbs Mostly rotating wieght since the 14.3 run. For when i go to the strip im estimating only a 14.1 - 14.3 at about 98mph. The other factors im counting in are outside Temp. and Heat soak for the IC. For the test runs i dont have either since there at night and i dont have to wait in line and after doing a burn out to heat the tires.

But since this thread is for G-Tech times. I do a 5 run avg so i dont have a one shot where the meter could have slipped down after the take off causing a false reading. As for best at the strip I've done it at 14.4 before so the 14.1 -14.3 isnt unreasonable.

Mugami. Fair play ,weight is the enemy for sure. It was the 114mph that caught my attention. I think with 300lbs off you will do even better than 14.1, certainly in the thirteens
i think .How have you lost that much pork? Is it road legal,& what tyres?

Very dissapointing results at the Tucson Southwestern Int'l track:

Temperature: 74 F
Altitude: 3,100 ft.
ET... 15.64@91.2 mph
60' ...2,500 s.
1/8...10.15@72.5 mph

Serious traction issues with all my launches, all within .1 sec. I tried everything, but I couldn't get a 60' under 2.5...this is a very demanding track as most of Subarus WRXs (some of them heavily modified) were in the mid-high 14's and low 15's. Raced a couple of them and they just destroy me on the first 60'...what saved the day was the fact that my MINI was faster than those Subarus on the last 1/8 mile.
Same WRXs were doing low mid 13s on the Phoenix track with no altitude/temperature/compound issues.
On top of that, my Gtech was showing some very optimistic results. On that 15.64@91.2 run showed a very optimistic 14.8@98 mph...

Next day I dynoed the car at APEX R Motorsports and I got a dissapointing 175.6 hp at the wheels. Yes, it was HOT, and the fan was blowing hot air at a room temperature of 90-95 degrees, but with the mods I have, I was expecting somewhere around 190hp at the wheels, wich translates to 215-220 at the flywheel. 175 whp should be around 200 fhp. I was mad. Could the answer be that my DT 210 conversion was in fact a 190hp conversion? I'm pretty sure that my Madness CAI and my Borla race are giving no less than 10 whp altogether...

Any chance people could supply tyre sizes and make/models?? And suspension mods? cause they make a real difference when it come to 0-60times.... its all traction and weight shift!

Oh forgot to meantion! Road surface aswell. A drag strip should produce far better times than an ordinary road. Thats why I do testing where there is anti skid at traffic lights!

Just did a few last runs after Downloading the lastest Firmware from G-tech which include a higher sampling rate amoung other fine tuning for the G-tech competition. Also due to bending 2 of the Centerline Impulse(11.5lbs) rims i ordered new Voluction(16.lbs) rims which added 4 lbs per rim to the car. Also running (new) 205/40/17 Nexen N3000 tires vs (old) 215/40/15 Cooper Zenons. On the chart Run 3 is using the old software which even i claim was optimistic by up to .5 and on the new runs the EST 1/4 i mark on the test track would end before the G-tech did so i was chopping the throttle before it was over then getting back on it. Also had full interior with 110 lbs sub box in the back so im pls with the results

For mods I have as follows, Scorpion cat back exhaust, Alta high flow cold air intake, Pilo 40,000 volt coil packs, Fire Wire 8.5mm plug wires, NGK plugs gapped to .065.

THE RUN
I ran it on a G-Tech SS. The temp was 28F, tires were cold, engine and intercooler were warm, just myself in the car with a half tank of gas. The cars weight was 2920(on a real scale at the local concrete company).

THE TIME

1/4-15.27@91.2MPH

0-60-6.78

Net TQ-125

Net HP-140

Gs-.54

It's still too slow!! I need to get more mods!

1000' 12.719
ET 15.141 - 92.34mph

Ambient temp was about 15-18 degrees C I think.

Oh, by the way, the car has 17x7" BBS RK rims and Yokohama AVS ES100 tyres, instead of 17" s-spokes and runflats.

*edit* Fuel was standard 98RON pump fuel, altitude was about 60m(?) and date was May 22 2004

I went racing again tonight. Same wheels and tires, same fuel, same track, altitude is 90m (according to the sat nav ) ambient temp was about 25 degrees C, relative humidity was 75%

60' 2.263
330' 6.199
660' 9.428 - 75.76mph
1000' 12.207
ET 14.566 - 94.79mph

The car has two modifications now - 15% AmD Pulley, and AmD OneClick ECU remap. I'm happy with the time, but I think there's a tenth or two left in it - I did a 14.859 with a trap speed of 96.04mph

One thing I also learnt, I had the coolant temp displaying on the odometer, and when it was around 100-105 degrees C, the car was running slower times. I figured out that if I ran the engine with the a/c running for 5 mins before racing, the extra fan that the a/c compressor turns on was keeping the coolant temps at 90 degrees, and my times were better It was kind of humid though, and as I was staging the condensation was dripping from the car. I was nearly told I couldn't run because my car was "leaking" until I convinced them that it was just condensation from the a/c compressor

Excellent Tim!!

Look forward to catching up Saturday... my car is back to stock, so Im looking forward to running it soon!

Alternatively to bring your temp down, turn the heater on full and get out of the car... from memory this works.

I did a 15.9s 1/4 in my MCS April 2003 when I was down at Santa Pod. Terminal was just on 90mph IIIRC. Just found this thread and as I have been out playing with my new gtech comp. pro I thought I'd post up my current 0-60 times as I can't find a place to do 1/4s at the moment.

I did 4 runs 1 was much faster than this one a little slower and another almost the same.

60ft 2.643s
330ft 7.029s
1/8M 10.447@67.72mph

0-60 7.305s

Obviously I had to take my foot off at 70mph as I was on a public road, but when I find a place to do 1/4s I'll be posting them up.

Wheels, standard OEM 16" five stars and runflats.
Temperature around 5C
Car completely standard and on 11000 miles so its well run in now.

Looking at the graphs I did awfully slow gear changes , I think I can shave almost 1/2 a second off this just by changing better and not hitting the limiter ....

Did some playing with my g-tech pro, more to follow however as I never got a good run in...

--Car is STOCK Cooper S, sport package, Sunroof, and All-Season Goodyear RSA Runflats(205/45-17) with 17" S-Lites.
--Driver 185 lbs, 1/8 tank of fuel, 93 Octane
--A/C off, DSC off

Temp was approx. 75F and altidude was sea level

0-60 time was 7.08 sec.

Smoked the tires at launch almost all the way to 2nd gear. I will do more runs and back it up and also try to get a 1/4 mile time in there, couldn't play too much as I was only trying out the gadget and had to go home.

2004 MCS: BRG/W -- Sport pkg, H/K, Sunroof, white bonnet stripes
