Nice, I was hoping it'd dip into the 14's.

I have a Dinan chip and a 4.10 lsd.

ya you will forsure if you are easy on the launch. I want to pick up a 4.10 lsd and ditch the 3.73.

I dunno, it just doesn't feel like a 14 second car, I mean i've been in low 14 second cars but they were FWD, maybe that's it.

We'll find out I guess.

are any of you adjusting tire pressure to help with wheel spin/hop?

I'm at the track now...


Vanos m50, 260, 3.73 LSD, v710's @ 17 psi, ~2700lbs


R/T .313
60. 2.216
1/8 9.48
mph 75.12
1/4 14.688
mph 94.07


Edit: Best's for the night:

R/T: .054
1/4: 14.487
MPH 95.01

My last run, I ran with bald all seasons, wheel hopped the whole way through first, missed 2nd gear (twice), and still ran a 14.9 @ 95.

I'm happy overall. My m20 325is on Azenis only ran a 15.4 and that car was 300 lbs lighter at the time. So a full second quicker with the m50 and +300 lbs.

My best r/t was a .054 but I missed second :(

r/t does count for much anyway as it won't contribute to your time, it will only determine if you beat the other car/driver

Yeah a few of my friends quickly shot me down as well haha. It was just luck anyway...

I'm going to G-tech my car for a rough estimate tonight.

Might be within a second... or two of accuracy. lol

[e30trooper]

what are some turbo'd m20 or m50 times? wonder what my stock m10 would pull off haha 17's

[SamE30e]

17's if you're lucky lol.

My chipped M20B27 ran a 16.7 lol

[e30trooper]

lol ok ok 19's

[884door]

for whatever it's worth I ran a 17.00 with my bone stock superETA with my clutch slipping pretty badly. I'm sure it'd run mid to low 16s without the slippage.

This was not on a track but according to the dynolicous iPhone app which is supposed to be pretty accurate.

I have an i top end that will go on soon enough, I'm hoping to break into 15s with that and a higher ratio diff.

A stock m10 would probably be in the 19s haha

[e30trooper]

stock m10b18 with 3.91 rear diff , id say 18's haha

Hey guys,

Some of these 1/4 times are quite disappointing for me. I bought an E30 to have a lighter car. I am hoping to have a mid 11s daily driver. I had a E39 M5 S2 and I ran 12.4 @ 113mph. I parted it out and will sell it when I return from Iraq. I have recently bought an E30 with a S/C s50. It makes around 400whp the same my S2 made but... it weighs around 1k less.

I will be running 225-50-15 drag radials and raising the whp. I am installing cams, smaller pulley, headgasket/arp bolts and a new tune. Shooting for 450-475whp. I want to be well into the 11's or better.

Comments? Has anyone ran an E30 with around 400whp through the traps?

Thanks!
Ryan
