Swap 1/4 Mile Thread

Traction Owns all. I think someone ran a 11.99 with a s50b32?

The problem is no one is doing this.

Sorry, I should have been more descriptive. Has anyone run sub 12's with a daily driver with 400ish whp. I know BMWSOB went that fast its just that a lot of the times on this thread seem kind of slow for the power to weight ratio of the e30. I understand 60 ft time and even ET's will suffer due to traction but I though the trap speeds would be higher. It seems a vehicle as light as the E30 should break into the 12's or even 11's with 300-400whp.

NA? or swap plus turbo? If you're asking about the latter, BMWSOB hit like 9.5s or 8s, somewhere around there

haha you weren't joking about having pretty much the same setup as me, anyway the weather is always nice down there so you'll have more chances to take it to the strip, do the tracks stay open year round? It's going to get shitty here pretty soon and the track up here will close for the season

weather is pretty nice around here but I'm actually in LA now and not sure where any tracks are (plus I've never been to a strip before)

Eric post up some pics.

Hey Paul, yeah this is Eric.




Dunno when I'll ever have a chance to get it to a strip but as of now it has a
M50 NV
UUC Pulleys
OBD II manifolds
K&N intake
Dinan Chip
18" magnaflow muffler
Spal electric fan

All of those were done by the previous owner. It's a fun car though.

Are you on BFC?

Hey Paul, yeah this is Eric.

Wow your set up sounds pretty much exactly like mine. Just bought the car a couple weeks ago though and have never taken it to the strip.

well in an effort to be lazy i ended up scrolling through more pages than i wanted to haha. I'll just have to wait for next year to run my car. I'll be damn happy if i can break 14s, i've never driving on a drag strip before. here's my setup

NV M50
dinan chip
k&n cone intake with heatshield
uuc pulleys
fan clutch delete
obd2 manifolds
obd2 down pipes
single 2.5in exhaust to a magnaflow cat to a 18in long mangaflow muffler
and royal purple oil for that extra hp increase haha

g260 and 3.73lsd

But baby steps, gotta get this bitch running/rolling on her own power first!

Getting close... :)

Naw... we already went over this. I had the tar in the trunk removed and the foam under the carpet. It was just a rediculously fun car... kinda wish I didn't sell it.
I just got mine rolling...too bad it is still under my power. My motor is sitting at my house and my car is sitting at my parents garage....

You trapped over 100mph.

My best run was 95mph. With slicks and a 3.73 LSD. Dumping the clutch at 3k+ and zero wheelspin. Vanos m50, g260. Dinan chip, CAI, headers, 2.5" single w/ high flow cat/muffler.

My buddy's chipped, AA intake/exhaust 97 M3 traps 97mph.



I'm not saying you are lieing or anything, but something is up with that motor. It is not a typical 170-180whp m50. MPH is a function of power/weight, with little to do with driver ability (unless you really suck). There's no reason, with longer gearing and shitty tires, and a lack of vanos, that you would be trapping 5mph faster then me.

You said power:weight. maybe his was significantly lighter? :dunno:

Just gonna toss it out there that all of this talk about 1/4 mile racing really makes me want to take the car out...

Can't wait to do the same. But baby steps, gotta get this bitch running/rolling on her own power first!
