maichor Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I must have watched it 20 times over. Turn the volume all the way up and listen to the crowd when the times are posted. It was also fun listening to the guys talking about the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 According to a calculator I found: 1/4 mile ET = 10.08, 1/4 mile MPH = 140.12 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSkrich Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I always used a very crude calculation to get 1/4 mile times from the 1/8 et. I just multiply Et. by 1.54. I got that from some other drivers at the strip when we was trying to figure out what my cousins junior would run if he ran it out. Sorry if it is inacurate and unhelpfull. Useing that formula it comes out to a 9.8. Im sure youve done some quarter passes to be restricted to 1/8 mile,, what were your quarter times By The way Great job on the car. It was the whole inspiration for me making up my mind to do a turbo sbc build. Ever think about doing any in car camera stuff like barkley racing.

Turbo Meister Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 73 TURBO 240Z, I'm using a TH 400 transmission and Ford 9" rear with a 4-link & coil-over suspension. CHUCKY, It's a 383 Chevy engine, 8 to 1 compression pistons, mild solid roller cam, Edelbrock Vic jr heads, Vic jr intake manifold, unsophisticated exhaust manifold for the turbos, home made airbox for the 750 DP Holley carburetor. 305240, Keep the 5.0 engine. Just add turbo or supercharger and you'll give me a run for the money. QWIK240Z, My best 60 ft time is only 1.5 seconds but I'm hoping to improve that to the 1.3's like my hero, Scottie GNZ. SKRICH, Before I did much tuning I only got 10 psi of boost from the engine and there was much lag. My best then was 10.29 at 137 mph in the quarter. Currently I'm running 1/8 th mile tracks because my quarter mile times ( calculated to be in the 9's ) would get me kicked out for not having a competition license, etc. I do mount a camcorder in the Z and will post some video if there is enough disk space in my photo gallery. Thank you for your comments, everyone. Hanns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 305240 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Could you give a more detailed description of the rear? That looks like a awsome hookup you got there. I'm looking for a narrowed rear for my setup. I like to put my foot in it every now and again. Would you happen to have any pics if the rear installation? Man, everyone I show your vid clip to can't believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Meister Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 Could you give a more detailed description of the rear? I have one pic of the rear in my photo gallery. I can post more or e-mail them to you if you want a specific view of a component. Hanns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making me blush :D Awesome video! Nothing like putting 2 car lengths on the "competition" by the 60' mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davido Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 the race video's that have been posted is it me or do the people racing against the Z-cars seem to be jumping out of there vehicles and checking to see if they forgot to unhitch their horse trailer.

Guest WHITEBOY Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I love turbo cars. They leave hard, but not really violent. They just gradually keep ripping harder and harder. I have a full tube chassis Z, and my Dad has a back halfed Z. They both turn high 1.20 short times, and mid 5's in the 1/8. Both have Ford 9" rear ends. I also have a Z with factory front suspension, and IRS. It has the R200 diff. I just bought it and plan to build a real street car out of it. Something I can drive anywhere, and still haul A. My question is...What is the best short time you guys know of out of a Z that still has IRS, and did the IRS hold up very long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
