launching your mk3 [Archive]

I bring the rpm's to like 3800 , and slowly let the clutch until I reach about 5 mph meanwhile maintaining a steady throttle, after that just let the clutch out all the way, when ya get it right the car will bite and take off, ya may get a lil bit of wheel hop...at the track I run 25psi in the tires and I warm em up at the line...that helps alot, it just takes alot of practice man.

i always asses what type of surface i'm launching on. i street race a lot, and i know which kind of pavement my drag radials like and which pavement they dont't, so I launch accordingly. usually when i'm out street racing i bring my tire pressure in the back down to 20psi and I do a good brake stand to warm them up. line up, rev to constant 3,500 rpm's, drop clutch and go. And I do mean DROP CLUTCH and FLOOR IT and go. I've launched head to head with an AWD 20G DSM with this technique. Yes I smoked the dsm ;).

At the track it depends on how well they've prepped the track. I've been to a grippy track where I was able to launch at 4,500 rpm's. When I ran my 12.4 I did it with a 3,600 rpm launch, spun through all of first and all of 2nd...

Anyhow it mainly takes practice. Just don't ever listen to anyone that says "launch at this exact rpm". It depends on the pavement surface, temperature, weather, etc. u gotta be aware and alert...

what kind of 60ft times are you guys getting at the track?

i've heard of this term for launching called "feathering the clutch"... what is that?

I rev to 3000rpm and drop the clutch. I only have street tires right now. i give it as much gas while minimizing the "burnout".
I only have a N/A right now. But my first gear is neck and neck with most cars i have raced awd dsm's and fwd, mustangs. Fwd cars are a joke off the launch.
Of course my car is a joke after first gear :(

i think that's going in n' out of stepping on the clutch. you'd feather it in for a brief moment to get the car on a roll, then you let it go in again harder?

in other feathering news, i do that when i go in reverse :D

Rev the RPMs up and let the clutch engage as if you are leaving from a street ight. The car will build boost and launch so hard without breaking the tranny, axles, d/s like popping the clutch will and it will minimize wheel hop. It is called preloading the powertrain and it has gotten me 1.7 sixty foots on D/R at 15psi of tire pressue.

If the surface is pretty slick I find that a launch in second is much quicker than a launch in first because of the gearing obviously but also the fact that you can skip one shift. You have to watch yourself so you don't roast the clutch or stall but once you get it down it works much better for slick surfaces.(This was when my car was stock.

i ran on the smallish 225/50/16 nitto drag radials and i run at one of the less prepped tracks you'll come across: Rock Falls Raceway in Eau Claire, WI. Anyhow best 60ft there was 2.0xx sec. check it out it's on my lil web page, under time slips.

Orin, u run the BFG's? I hear those are a bit more sticky and i plan on running those this year. 255/50/16 :)

What was your 1/4? I think if people could muster up 60' times like that, there would be a whole lot more people here in the low 13s and 12s. I see peeps postin times all over the forums... traps like 103 -105 mph, yet they are high 13, low 14 times. That sucks ass and it's becasue they have 2+ 60' times. .... so that being said... how did u do?

If I do that, I just do a brakestand at the timing light and end up with 2.6 60' times. I hold the brake all the way in, and hold the gas about 3/4 of the way in (stalling about 1500rpm). I get a little wheelspin when I let off the brake, but its not too bad (2.14 60' times on 225 khumo supras). With stickier tires I would imagine you could do a full brake boost...

I know I could be low 13's if I could get a good 60 foot.... I couldn't get anything better then 2.2! This is with Gforce KDWS 275 40 17's (34 psi) I didn't take out any air... I dumped the clutch form 3800.

(Try slipping a RPS stage 3 3200pressure plate) Also, trasmissions are cheeper then that damn clutch. Clutch = 1300 CDN

Used trasmission from wrecker = 200

It's almost worth it to blow the trasmission instead of burning the clutch. in my case :/

Orin runs low to mid 11's @ 125mph+ in the 1/4 mile. he's probably the fastest out of the regular guys that post on this board. much props... a lot of guys have high hp dyno sheets blah blah blah. to me it's more important to back it up at the track.

Well since this is going to be my first year running at the track I have put alot of thought into this subject....

What I plan on doing is
warming the tires up
Stage
pull up E brake
bring the clutch out alittle bit wil on the throttle 3k - 3.5k (I guess you could just call this preloading)
and when the lights fall drop the brake and clutch and go.....

I will let you all know how it works out :)

i know nobodys into autos but i will baby first out of the hole then drop the hammer on second(in an auto)not shifting just floor it right when its getting ready to shift,and the boost hits sooo hard and it takes off like crazy spinning tires and stuff:D , any body else do this in an auto?

Just don't overheat street tires. A quick spin to clear off the muck you picked up in grid is plenty. Also air them down. I like 26psi, but I may start experimenting with lower pressures too...

What's that 1J puttin out anyway... the math says something close to 600 at the wheels if it's a fully equiped targa car. And a time like that on drag radials nonetheless....... damn

amen brotha, amen. i've been wondering what all these guys with 550+rwhp run in the 1/4. hell... even 450+rwhp at that. all i here about is how much HP, kind of turbo set-up, and EMS's but i never here them say what kind of e.t.'s or trap speeds they crank out. kinda makes me feel like they're hinding behind their dyno sheets.

sorry didn't see you're post..

My best before the tranny broke (next run prob had some probs at that point)

was 13.92 @ 104 MPH (the car had not been to the dyno to be tuned yet and was running dangrously lean) 1750 on EGT! Durning the run I hit FCO 3 times (2 times in 2nd 1 time in 3rd) then I let off and coasted across the line at the end of third since i saw my egt gage off the sacle 1600 F. At that point I was running 15-16 PSI (well it was set to that) but Since I hand't had ANY tuning (I just got the car working that night) I was running lean and hitting FCO. Since then I added 550's, tuned the fuel but still lean since I seemed to find the fuel problem. I believe that my Fuel filter is cloged and not allowing enough fuel and when the boost falls off at higher RPM the ratio returns to 12:1 at least thats what the dyno showed. After the walbo, fuel filter and regulator install I'll jack the boost up to about 20 then get ready for the t04 swap.

I'm hoping for a 106-107 trap off the stock turbo and aiming for 350 RWHP although I'm happy with the torque my car yield (406 RWTQ more then alot of upgraded guys.

Orin - I'd be curious sometime to see a your dyno sheet paired side by side with a similarly powered 7M Mk3. I think it's a pretty safe bet that a 1JZ powered supra would have more area under the curve than a 7M... I could be wrong though.

Anyone ever wondered why 800hp MK4's run similar times to 650hp Camaros?? Peak HP doesn't mean jack if you don't have much area under the curve.
It's all good... I'll take my turbo import over a camaro anyday!

well the camaros have a solid axle rear suspension. this allows them to launch much much harder than the independant rear suspsension on the MK3 and MKIV. I bet the 800hp MKIV has a higher trap speed than the 650hp Camaro :)

well, i heard that revving and dumping the clutch is the least harmful on components...
but i have to rev up to like 4k, sometimes more to get a good launch! any lower and my car just bogs. this is on street tires.

Everybody says hold it just when the turbo spools, but my turbo doesnt spool unless im moving.

any ideas?

hehe, u heard wrong. when u dump the clutch that's the hardest on your drive-line, especially if u have too much grip and your tires don't spin. Your driveline takes all the shock and stress. conversely, if you slip the clutch to launch, your clutch spins and takes more stress. try slipping your clutch a lot and you'll smell it burning up.

hold it till the turbo spools... ONLY in an automagic :p

Orin's dyno sheet isn't comparable because his run was STD and measured by roadspeed, not rpm. But here is Neil Robinson's ~550rwhp jz sheet: http://jza70.com/500rwhp/NeilRobinson/dyno.jpg

And here is Will Neely's ~550rwhp 7m sheet: http://www.socalsupras.com/dyno/WillNeely.jpg

Don't be fooled by the length of the X-axis -- As you can see, the 1JZ has over 500rwhp for a span of 1250rpm (6000-7250), while the 7m has over 500rwhp for a span of 1250rpm (5000-6250). And they both make over 400rwhp for a span of ~1750rpm. But in terms of low end power, the 7m wins hands down with ~230rwhp at 4000rpm, compared to the 1jz's 100-125rwhp.

The overlaid curves show a hypothetical [albeit, conservative] outcome for the completely rebuilt TO-4E on a new undivided 0.81 AR turbine side, while retaining the 0.60AR compressor side. The CHRA received the IT "360 Degree thrust system," but I'm unsure if the wheels were replaced w/their "new high efficiency Innovative Turbine Wheels." If not, they were P-trim hot side, 60-trim compressor side.

W/o over-analyzing, compared to modded CT-26s, the power comes on later, period. Big-T waits even longer. The #s look great, but the curves are scary. Shoot for a 400-450rwhp top end, & the curves are a bit more end-user friendly. 500+ is nuts.

I have an auto 7MGTE in my MZ20 and I do the same here, but I also hold the hand brake up, that way I can get a little more revs up without wheel spin. Well this was before I got the CT26 rebuilt (standard internals) and now if I do this, I am all over the place. Crappy tyres though, Kelly Chargers if youve ever heard of the :?

We don't have a 1/4 mile strip in arkansas but we have 1000 foot. the one time i went out, i kept bogging my launches. the only good run i got was by launching at 5000... this was with some bald eagle tire and all stock motor with hks downpipe run open with no exhaust. i spun the tires good before pulling up to the line. i hooked up real well and ran within 2 tenths of a new camaro ss.

rcdsupra

04-23-2003, 02:00 PM

turbotarga: What I would recommend to you is to drop the pressure in your tires to atleast 17psi and drop the clutch around 4000 rpm. you're pretty much stock so that is what I would do. warm up your tires first and pull to the line and drop it at 4K and you should be set.

Can someone post the steps for brake boosting? Is it just holding down the brake with the left foot and using the throttle to bring it up to boost? or is it simply pulling up the E-brake and bringing the rpm's to boost,without holding in the brake? Also,what is the optimum setting to have the transmission set to? O/D on or off? ECT settings?

DAVID SWEARINGEN

i found that using the ebrake is the best answer. if you stage, pull the ebrake just untill it gets slightly tight then lift the clutch a bit to get the slack out of the drive line. then rev to about 3000-3500 rpm while still burning the clutch a bit. when the light turns green just dump the clutch go through first gear then as you grab for sencond gear remove the ebrake by hitting it and shift shift shift. enjoy the traction from the high torque launch and shift through the rest of the gears.

this takes some practice and works alot better for street racing because you have more time to stage! i guarentee that if you get it down youll win alot more races! this is my secret weapon.

NeatOman

08-07-2005, 09:33 AM

i had a 89 auto n/a, took out the enjine and put it in a 88 with some dunlop 245 tires

just make sure the brakes in the back r good so you can brake tourc it to 2000+ (as high as you can get it without tire spin, i got it upto 3200), under 2000 and you well be alot slower. then just let it go! and if you use the sport shifter.. go to second at 5800rpms (at least for me) so it would red line. Mine red lined just above 6500 (like mabye 6520). And for second to therd i went at 6100 then at 6400, and i made sure the OD was off so i could red line it into 4th @118mph.

I really DONT advise this! it will kill your tranny over a quick time! i just say that cuz mine was running fine for a year of doing that then it started slipping alot! and it was not the trans fluid ether cuz it only slipped in second and therd.... mabye it was the trans fuild... yep it had to be. :blah:

Thread revival!

Just a tidbit of info for autos. Once you're lined up with the brake pedal pushed all the way down, if you shift into neutral and give it a quick rev, you'll feel the brake pedal drop some more. Then throw it back into drive and off you go. :)

Thats how I got the car to hook without bogging down. Had to rev it up to ~5200-5500 RPM and DROP IT. With a real good clutch it just squats and lurches off the line.

I had a 1.9 60 foot with a set of bald street tires when I had nothing but an exhaust and running 10 psi. I ran a 13.5 at 104. I took it up to 4500 and did a little bit of clutch slipping and it didnt spin the tires at all.

Were you 'feathering' the clutch or did you just drop it?

I normally just drop the clutch at about five grand but I miss shifted like a mo fo so I couldn't really do crap with it.I just need more practice though. It pulled pretty hard though.If I hadn't of mis-shifted I probably would have had the turbo GTS I was racin'.

My advice just play with your car.The technical diffinition is to launch at peak torque.That doesn't always work thats why I say play with your car and see where your 'sweetspot' is in the rpm band.Then go have fun.I'm running a stock naturally aspirated for now.

Thats how I got the car to hook without bogging down. Had to rev it up to ~5200-5500 RPM and DROP IT. With a real good clutch it just squats and lurches off the line.

Basically what I was talkin' about.What works for one car may not work for another car.

Ok, so for everyone that isnt running a race clutch, STOP DROPPING THE CLUTCH AT 3-5 grand. YOUR GOING TO BLOW THAT SHIT UP. STOP being dumb. First off, Side step the clutch to do your burn out. Stage, then set your RPM (for a prepped track) at about 2500-2800RPM. Then feather your clutch out till you start to bite. Then dump it. After moving you should only use your clutch to re-engauge the clutch again. Never to get out of gear. That will pull your ET down alot. I have been racing forever and a day. Everything from GSX 1st gen eclipses on to my new supra project. ( the supra has yet to be to the track for a timed pass) If you rev the hell out of your motor and drop the clutch, you are putting way to huge of a load on your flywheel and your going to blow that fucker up. And although alot of you will say yeah right, when it happens and you over rev the piss out of your engine cause your flywheel just exploded in the bell housing and possibly break something in your engine too. Let us know how that was too. Only race clutches are made to handle the stresses of dumping the clutch. Your either going to break your flywheel, or the pressure plate doing that, if you dont tear the rivits out of the insert or disk first. Its the same as leaving a light, just faster. Slip your clutch a bit to get rolling, and dump that thing when your rolling. And auto guys, buy a line lock if your drag racing the stupid car. leave on a trans brake, or line lock. It works alot better.

See you miss what I stated. I have not been on the track for a timed pass. I have been on the track with my car, but its called RSD. Real street drags. Basically all the timing is taken down, and the track is open for street cars. You can do anything you would on the street, just at the track. Only reason I have said not a timed pass, is because I dont have an exact 60ft time or anything like that to post numbers of. I have put the car on the track, and launched it just fine. Lil bit of wheel hop, but that is my suspension not being able to keep up anymore, and needing to be replaced. (replacements are here now)

NO WHERE in your post or anywhere in this thread do you even hint at "RSD" in your Supra....

The ONLY thing you mention is
( the supra has yet to be to the track for a timed pass)

I'm not a mind reader so my post was valid.

Indeed your not a mind reader IJ, but saying I have not been on the track for a timed pass does not mean that its never been on the track period. And im sure you agree with most of what I said there that these guys trying to launch at 5k are only doing damage. I have been drag racing for a long time, and have used IRS cars many times. ( still feel dirty from driving a ford ) and knowing your car, and the basic fundementals of racing will get you better times. These kids seem to think drag racing is FLOOR IT AND ITS DONE. Its not that simple. There is alot to drag racing people seldom realize.

Dunno and that's my point ... if I don't know I sit and learn ;)
(I'm NOT a drag racer so have NFI how to launch on a prepped surface)

I'd ask Slow66, Duane, Jaws, Shawn Cassidy or a couple of the other guys that race and have made a bunch of passes in these cars how they go about it.

Once I get mine back together with all the new goodies, i'll be sure to post up some time slips. Shawn has a nice car, and the beer can on pinks was a pimp touch. HAHA

I find that riding the clutch @ around 4,000-4,500 RPM's is one of the best ways to launch our cars. I did that using my drag radials and I did a 13.6 @ 99 w/ a 1.88 60 ft. (trap speed was kinda low since there was a 15-20 mph headwind @ the track... plus my timing was a little retarded *just found out about it a day later*)

this was done w/ the stock CT26 @ 14 psi.

aite, peace.
