hi guys, hoping to pump 600 ponies out of me 2jz with powerglide transbrake down the track and i wanna get it

 

in the high 9s if possible.just askin would it be possible for a 26 dia tire to get to these times,roughly

 

weight would be around 1300kgs or a bit less, and running something like 3.7 ratio

Hoping...wanna....if possible....roughly...around.....something like...

 

My answer? Yeah, perhaps.

[madtoranajzedded]

i'll start again.would a 26 dia tire get into the high 9s .1300kg 600hp 3.7 gears

[WhaleOilBeefHooked]

And I'll answer as Craig did = Maybe with the right nut behind wheel, Just because you have a gazillion hp don't necessarily mean low ET's, there's a whole lot more that comes into play & end of the day to be consistently running in single digits is gunna take a bunch of experience behind the wheel & on the strip... Why not do as most do and run it with your planned combination, with improvements further down the track... Not too many can bolt a drag car together and say I'll run 9.2 et's thank you, without a bunch of test N tune days, And for those that can they'll be running low 7's after some time with same combo... So how much experience have you had piloting a serious drag car, What sort of reaction & 60 foot times can you consistently muster in a similar combination, Not trying to put you down Maz, But Rome wasn't built in a day, And neither was those 9 second time slips... On other hand there's a few websites that have a guesstimate of what could be achievable by punching in your details......

thanks andrew.well ive got stuff all experience at it.i know what your saying andrew as a this is new to me.just trying to go the right way about it to eventually get to this number i want to achieve.im going to need alot of help in this field from experienced people to get there.its allways been my dream to do this.i just hope i am going the right way about it,with a 26 i know it will have traction issues and getting the setup right,the reason ive asked is i have been thinking about changing to a 28" wheel.so i dont have to worry about changing later on .do it once and do it properly,i dont want to change the track diamentions of the car.as if i change the track rearwards it stuffs up the 4 link arms diamentions, atm are 68 1/2 .f@#kwit engineer made them an inch longer because he put the clip in wrong spot.and if i move the housing rearwards it will take them out to 70" when they are suppose to be 66cm ,so it wont hook up properly to how it should.i have the issue with the back door as i want to cut an inch or so out of it and an inch out of the back panel to get it the 28 to fit.just trying to find someone with experience whether the 26 will be enough or go the 28".if i cant get it to get to goal ,i will just have to hand it over to someone else who can.

I think to get that sort of power to the ground maz you need more than 26 inch
i will find out what my nephew is running on the back of his for you he had the same problem with a 26 was just wheel standing all the time

[gtrboyy]

It is possible -yes.

Just won't be very consistent at running those times especially with a transbrake on a 26" tyre.

I'd be wanting 28x10 to start with anyway since you doing rear end may as well do it properly.

[warrenm]

If you can fit a 28" or 29" under the guards it'll be than trying to get 9s out of a 26". Taller is better than wider.

[Struggler]

Could you run a 9 with a 26" tall tyre ? Yes.

 

Would it be easier, safer and more consistent with a 28" tyre ? Definitely !

 

As Warren said, the taller the tyre the better.

[madtoranajzedded]

thanks for the help guys, very helpful.now i know what i gotta do next

If you can imagine Maz,

the bigger the diameter of the tyre, the more rubber is on the road ( front to Back ), but I am guessing, you want to get the times with the smallest diameter tyre possible. Dave I 

 

anyhow, the Mass of the wheel and tyre set's play a part too, make sure they are the lightest

[madtoranajzedded]

that was my intention dave.as i'd seen other cars but lighter running 9s.+ i wasnt quite sure if the 28 would be allowed for reg.

 

but can soon put the 26 under for that...worse thing its a 4dr .not as easily to tub.engineer wants to stretch the rear quarter

 

but i want to take some from the door area aswell as the rear qtr.so i keep the same track.and not making the link arms any

 

longer than what they are.does that make any sense to you

[N/A-PWR]

you can rego it for a 2 seater only, I am closing in the rear doors on mine

then you can have a 6 point Roll cage and Harnesses for rego

[madtoranajzedded]

we have something in common dave.thats exactly what i have planned lol  

 

but i can only go half cage,but the engineer i got now will look into that as

 

i was putting 6 point but removeable front bars with the rear welded in ,

 

happy birthday too Dave

Cool as, and thank-you Maz,

Make sure you drive the Idea Home. Dave I

[madtoranajzedded]

gee i stuffed that up 673rwhp ,  502 kw

 

whats the table to convert kw to hp

[madtoranajzedded]

thanks stretch.

[N/A-PWR]

or a HP = 750 watts

[N/A-PWR]

so, 1.34 HP x .75 kW = 1.005 kW

[Toranamat69]

Umm no, units are wrong

[N/A-PWR]

whats wrong

750 watts = .75 kW

1 Hp = 750 watts

1 kW = 1.34 Hp
