11.73 ET Evo V RS Stock Turbo, stock cams, 98 ron fuel

[RJSP]

Hi guys, it´s been a while since I went to the 1/4 mile events, had a lot of gremlins to fix in my car. Finaly it is running decent again and had a go yesterday, ended with a 11.73 ET !!! My previous best time was 11.96 ET back in July, with colder weather here in Peru.

Mayor changes to the car since my previous best have been:

ETS 3.5" Intercooler (Had Emusa 3" Delta -fin)
Spooling Up COP (Had Okada Projects Plasma dual coils)
Tomioka racing 4.0 Final Drive with my RS gears (Had an Evo V GSR gear box with 4.5 FD)
Curt Brown´s Ceramic wheel bearings

The car gained about 25 - 30 WHP/WTQ thoughout the powerband with almost 1 psi less at peak (27 psi peak droping to 20 psi at 8K rpm).

I still need to work on my launches and probably get wider tires, currently have 225 Victoracer´s threadware 50, but still if I go higher than 5 - 7 psi at the launch, I end up blowing the rear tires and spin them a lot...

Ricardo,

Did you install the wheel bearings yourself?

Thanks GRAVEDIGGER, I still have one more event on the 27th to try and see if I can improve. YellowEVO8, the ceramic bearings come already pressed into the hubs, which Curt sells new/used. The car does feel easier to push, but I didn´t do a back to back test to determine what power/torque it frees up to the wheels.
