Hurdy's Golf .:R - project 600bhp.

[Hurdy]

Always good to improve.

is it just the launch that's slowing the 60' time?  What rpm are you currently launching at, and what launch rpm will you get with a tweaked map?

It is the launch and a little more fine tuning with the E-boost controller and WMI.

I can choose the launch rpm's I want with the DSG map and GIAC will revise it to suit.
Currently the launch rpm's are set at 4,200rpm, but I've asked for a 4,500rpm launch revision.

Surely down to conditions? 

When we race sometimes the whole grid is off pace by 0.5 but the conditions are good. Same as the month before. Also new tyres for us are faster than a set thats done 2 meets.

I know its karting and totally different, im just saying it might be conditions and not your car.

I know what you mean but the 11.xx times will come sooner or later

Update.....

After a few adjustments and some nice cool weather recently I did another few 1/4 mile runs. I must say I'm impressed with how the car is running at the moment and using this method or recording my runs has yielded results within 0.05 seconds for the time at an official strip.

Congrats John! Smashed that 12 second 1/4 mile you were after!

Just need an official slip for a run now.

Sub 12 secs - nice one.     Shaved a second off that last 60' time as well.  You must be chuffed.

The 60' time has always been 1.7 to 2.1 seconds. I need to try and get it down to 1.7 flat and then it should be even quicker on the 1/4 time.

Now you've seen off the 12 s -  new 1/4 mile target?

No, I'm almost done. Always wanted 400bhp with great spool and 12 seconds on the 1/4 mile.

After this level costs go up exponentially for comparatively small gains.
