Timeslip Submission Thread

[AleroB888]

Alas, no vids, cameraman took ill at the last minute. I'm posting 3 slips, because the tower guy punched in a wrong car # (center) on the fastest slip. I ran a back-up pass about a half-hour later, and as you can see, almost identical acceleration pattern (left). So the time I am submitting is 13.093 @ 101.04. Raceway Park, Bowling Green, KY.

I'll try to post more details in another thread.

Here is my 2002 ecotec. completely stock except for a drop in k&n air filter

*removed timeslip, FQuick overwrites them; in this one I ran 14.3 @ 101.4*

Things to improve on next week:

• Better boost controller that actually maintains its setting (kept turning it up each run, only saw 8 psi constant).
• Learn to launch, seems traction is not an issue, now just need to find the right method.
• Check for boost leaks, replace all couplers with quality 4 ply with t-bolts, as these keep slipping off.

Guy next to me ran 13.7 @ 101 on another slip, lol.

Things to improve (cont'd):

• Improve Reaction Time

2.2 60' this time, but I only did two runs. It's all I could do before I deemed it unsafe to drive without an electronic boost controller and tuning via HPtuners. It appears when I turned up the boost controller during my previous runs last week and nothing was happening due to the boost leak, I left the MBC set like that. So today when I installed my hardcore couplers and t-bolts, my MBC was basically set to 16 psi. Doing that with a ball/spring type boost controller is bad with the wastegate having only a 5.7 psi spring. Not to mention it's not tuned for that amount of boost.

Needless to say, I had some significant issues down the track. The boost spikes to 16-17 psi caused major knock and timing to be cut, and fuel cutting out it seemed, maybe spark blowout at that boost level too. The car kept jerking with the boost bouncing around and timing and fuel etc. but I kept pushing it at 100% throttle all the way down the track.

And I got:


I plan to go back with a GReddy PRofec B Spec II electronic boost controller so it solidly maintains 13.5 psi instead of spiking then tapering down low like a manual boost controller does. I also require HPTuners to tune it better, as it's changed since the boost leak. So.... I just need to find about $550 to snag HPTuners and the EBC used.

With the supercharger the best I ran was 15.0 @ 96 lol.

The turbo video was just pretty much to show how loud the open dump is. The car should sound a lot cooler at wide open when the wastegate dump tube is routed to the rest of the exhaust so it's quiet. Then all you'll hear is the spooling whistle and whoooshing sound of the air through the pipes. As it is now once my set boost level is hit the wastegate opens and it's like running without an exhaust, SUPER LOUD.

First time at the track lol, best run:
2.2 ecotec 5-speed, WAI.

[Daytona]

Yours was the 16.287 run, correct?

[Vic28]

.. yes mine is the 16s sec one... I thought it was obvious, thats why it wasnt stated.

Added in some certified NHRA Divisional & National Event runs under the Engine Swap category.

Unfortunately, there's only record of the TA/FC Alero competing at 1 event and they had traction issues the whole weekend.

Edit: Oh I see what you did there. Made a new Sticky that you get to edit when someone posts a slip in this thread...

[Vic28]

[Vic28]

bump UPDATE THE LIST lol.... even tho is gonna be better in few weeks.

[Vic28]

This section needs an active MOD..

[BlackJack]

there are plenty of active MOD's here, what in your opinion needs modded?

[[ion] C2]

Well, I don't see quite a few of the times in the list of 1/4 mile times thread. I used to handle it but that privilege was taken from me.

[BlackJack]

I see a slip, but I don't see what type engine listed, and which column is you LOL
