207.4 kw @ the wheels in V7STI ?? Quarter mile estimates ??

[ROYALS STI]

Hey all had a great day at Torque Performance yesterday and was good to get the car on the rollers and meet some more great people, I made 207 kw at 21.5 psi and was wondering what quarter mile times that would roughly give me on street tyres, full interior and good launch. Going to head down soon to night wars and give the car a few runs, maybe we can get a crew to go down and represent club sub. Come on Pappu !!!

i guestimate about 15.7sec

serious? i was thinking 14ish :-\

[Volcanix]

probably, i wouldnt kno for sure tho as grip on a full power launch would be an issue, plus V7's arnt known to be light

[G-unit]

13's shouldnt be hard

[sultan]

mid 12 to low 13 depending how hard it's driven

[Guest]

around 13.5 - 14.0 at best, 207kw aint huge power

[ROYALS STI]

I'm hoping for a high 12, my last car was a 01 SS V8 and did flat 13 second quarters all day and I would gutted if my v7 wouldn't beat those times, sti is harder to drive considering the v8 was auto. Will be interesting.

until proven wrong - cant see 207kw faster than 13.5

far if only i was on to it!! royals sti (shit can member ur name ) let me have 2 runs at night wars next weekend?? we will TRY proof rick wrong and put $$ on it for da fark of it :P

[Guest]

Prove me wrong ! find out how fast 207.4kw will push a V7 thru a 1/4 mile

That is my estimate, which was asked for in the orginal post of this thread

PS DONT BLOW IT UP !!! LOL

[ROYALS STI]

should do aye spencer lol ( john here ). Want to get my launch control dropped from 5800 rpm to 5500 rpm then wait for it to get a bit colder then I'm down to meremere for sure. You cant beat that rush of the xmas tree lights changing on the start line. Just gna give it death but be as smooth as poss. Fingers crossed. I see you did a 12.9 was that in your old car ??

[Guest]

i would reckon high 12 would of excpect that from my old v8 spec c , did you see it at torque performance by any chance ? might go up friday to have a peak on the 50k build

[ROYALS STI]

lol yeah dont wont blow it as I'm going to sell later in the year, will be interesting to see what it can do.I think your estimate is in the ball park but I hope I can beat it.

50k build - engine only ??

Sounds interesting

[Guest]

I'll say low 13sec. Prove me wrong. Ver7 is like a whale. What tires you using? At what pressure? How good is your clutch? Do it at the drag strip and get times

Good luck don't break anything

dont think its all engine , i wish it was my build but its not its ALTEREDSPECC's now . well hear about it when finshed currently at torque performance. the builds going to be 6months been 2 as it is. then i still dont think its quite 50k yet but i think troy said hel be going back for more

[Guest]

why don't you use the car calculator link in this foum above gives you a qurter mile estimate based on weight and power, gives you something to aim for at least, doubt its that accurate though.

[sultan]

i hate to think what torque performance would do with 50k. not much would be my guess. the best thing they know how to do is charge.

[ROYALS STI]

I reckon they offered me a full 3 inch exhaust, reflash ecu and walbro for 5 grand lol, I politely said no thanks

[sultan]

sounds about right. when i was young and naieve, i paid them $3,800 to supply and fit some fuel rails (they used two factory rails and welded -6 fittings to them), plumb the fuel lines in parallel, fit injectors, pressure reg, and fuel pump that i supplied, and dyno tune. the tune was average, even running on their overinflated dyno, still made bugger all power for the configuration.

this was way back when money was worth a lot more too

[nztintin]

207kw at torque is about 160kw everywhere else, found that out with my car.

[sultan]

yip. they want to be able to show the falcodore drivers with way too much money that they've got value out of the $7,000 upgrade they paid them for

It does. Will be interesting to see how much of that goes on the engine and what gets done to it. I know what my engine builder would do with that sort of money.....

A Tony Regoli stage 3 race 2.7 long block is about $26K with dry sump.
