[Benny-o]

Great work mohawk, that's awesome!

Sorry if this has already been covered, can i ask how many kw's u have at the wheels? and what boost u were running?

cheers

[OPC]

137.4 @ wheels.... 12 1/2 psi all gears

[OPL-20T]

well done dude. 13z is awesome. EBC must be extreamly accutate not to over boost the blue thunder hee hee...
i wonder if you would have gotten a better time if you had let a bit of air out of your wheels as steve done when he done his low 14z pass??????..

never the less u got there 1st now keep bringing it down :)

[Wattie]

good work mohawk, congrats, you deserve it after all that work, no keep on hunting for more ;) :twisted:

[Wattie]

dont want to start any more arguements,
but according to motor mag, an 05' Subaru STI does a 13.62sec quarter.
some food for thought.
think of the initial jump the 4wd would get.

[Wattie]

on a roll-on, go the astra! nowhere near as much lag as the subi, astra wins...
:) go son!

[ultim8DTM5]

Nice work Jay, great ET.


dont want to start any more arguements,
Wattie: yes you do... :P

[Wattie]

yes you do...

:bang:

[Rhino]

Dude that is Awesome!!!

Someone did it! Someone did it!

[entice]

On a very sincere and serious note,

Congratulations...

They are some figures that I like to see.

Again, on a serious note, as I am technically minded, I was wondering if you could answer a few Q's for me. If you dont want to disclose, fair enough, if you prefer to PM, aswell, I'd be happy to know..

What ECU/Remap do you run?
Is it the standard turbo?
Has it be porter/hi flowed?
Are teh internals OEM (ie compression)?
Is the gearing OEM?
How is your boost managed? Does it hold 12.5psi to redline?
Do you run any knocklink device?
What fuel were you running? Any Booster?
Does your exhaust "meow"?

These are no way sarcastic or facaecious q's. I have "friends" with High 11 passes running CAI's and AVCR's, and High flow race cats..with standard turbo's and standard internals, and otherwise standard ecu's... (in another car I wont mention for fear of flaming!) however they dose up with Pro Strength booster.. but they do hold around 21psi to redline....


Serious q's, and serious congrats on your time.

[Mrs T]

Awesome stuff Jay..


w00t w00t lol

[Brett]

21psi with standard internals, haha that engine wont be around very long

[OPC]

goran.. im using unichip not EBC...

[Wattie]

most ppl would call mohawks stock...
i'm amazed at how big a difference the last mod made to the little weapon!

[Namus]

great trap time too

[ultim8DTM5]

Teehee, trap SPEED :lol:

[OPC]

@ ENTICE...

this is what ive done.. no word of a lie..

1st.. 2 1/2" turbo back zorst and i use the original cat (yes it meows)

2nd.. K&N pod straight out of the turbo

3rd.. custom FMIC

4th.. UNICHIP running 12.5 psi

i use BP ULTIMATE (NO BOOSTER)

standard turbo,gears,internals yada yada yada :lol:

thats every mod ive done so far mate.. no word of a lie as there is many people on here who can vouch for these mods and they know im not running any booster or other sneaky stuff.. :D

[EAK33Y]

I still cant believe that booster seat didnt way the car down :lol:

[OPL-20T]

sorry dude i must have gotten mixed up with otheres who run ebc :oops: ..
how good does the car sound from the air filter going straight onto the turbo ay., i get so much attention when i drive my car its not funny hee hee. and almost every guy want to race off the lights bcoz its so loud and sound extreamly tough :mrgreen: i love it.

[em]

I dont believe you!

where is your time slip ;)
hahahaha jokes moey, so glad you had fun, and well done to the beast....

finally can Put to rest all those idiots who didn't have faith in you... especally in recent times with the STi *cough cough* we wont go into that ;)

[marq=right:dd1cb4ea36]congratulations congratulations congratulations[/marq:dd1cb4ea36]

[Namus]

Teehee, trap SPEED :lol:

yeh oops :oops: :lol:

actions speak louder than words mo; nice way to shut 'em up 8) 8) 8)

[Anonymous]

standard turbo -> high flowed
bigger injectors
slicks
low comp pistons
uppy-di-uppdiy the boost

hello 12's?? :D

[Namus]

lose a few more kilos...

hello high 11's?? :lol: :mrgreen:

[entice]

:) Namus I like your Humour :)

12 sec pass would be possible, but fella's...it's going to take a lot of money and a lot of mods to get there, and be able to do it reliably time and time again.

On the shopping list would be pistons, injectors, fuel pump, new ecu, and a Turbo. I am unsure as to whetehr the stock unit could cope with holding, say 16psi.

From my experience, the difference between 14 and 13 sec passes is minimal compared to the difference required when chasing a 12 sec c.f. a 13 sec pass. Any further gains and you start looking at very very big costs.

Look at the trap speed on the times...Sure, Mohawk has made some vast improvements in ET, but take a closer look at speed at ET. A 12 sec pass would be a whole second off his time (which is a very very good time considering the few mods), and would mean a far greater trap speed...where will it come from? I think the chip has probably given him the mid range punch, but am unsure if the turbo is pulling all the way.. perhaps a fatter top end? How? A bigger turbo perhaps? Sacrifice? Spool up.

Perhaps if you're chasing better times it's the end of the road for the standard turbo? I'm not sure, I havent dabbled in it. Further gains I would imagine would be more financially economical from a new turbo, as opposed to working on the existing one.

PS..Please dont consider this post inflammatory...it is more technically minded and speaking out aloud.

PPS..does anyone have the flow rates and efficiency characteristics of teh standard turbo?

[Wattie]

bleh, nice times mohawk!

[Namus]

yeah i think someone else has said it already; any further mods made with the standard turbo (i.e. pistons etc) would be done so VERY carefully as not to do any damage....in other words, take it as far as she'll go; then bigger turbo; yes i realise this is wat u were trying to say entice.....and u were just giving some warning as not to stretch the engine and turbo too far.... :wink: 8)

Well done LJ should go out and celebrate. 8) (only if I didn't have the flu) :(

[OPC]

thanks jose :D yes blue is the best buddy

thanks everyone else who took the time to aknowledge the great time :D

[Nem]

Does the booster seat he uses to see over the dash add much weight? :lol:

Awesome effort dude. Ab-shol-lewt-lee Morvellous.

[OPC]

thanks NEM

by the way i love your impersonation of sean connery :lol:

[EGG80X]

congrats man, man thats quick for any FWD
were u running street tyres??

[Kwijy]

well done matey. quite a mover you've got there - it'd be great to see the faces of unsuspecting punters watching your astra roar down the quarter mile! :twisted: hehe.
great improvment from the chip! nice work 8)

[mr_astra_retired]

Do you run any knocklink device?

Its probly not needed on a car with this sort of set up , the car is not on the edge of the turbo , and not on the edge of boost levels to warrant a knocklink.

I know these are common with rexxies running a utec ecu etc , but not common with modified astras . :)

[Bernard Siong]

well done dude
so thats the quickest car on this forum aye?

[OPC]

street tyres yes...

thanks guys :D

[frankie9fingers]

Woo Hoo!! I know it's a late congrats but i've only just begun using my right arm again!!

[silvestra]

Well done Mohawk, you da man!

[Wraith]

Well done Mohawk, finally an Astra T in the 13's - I've wanted to see this for a long time :D - keep aiming to get even better, would love to see even quicker times :P

I wonder if my heavier Astra T Convertible would ever be able to do that :?

[Greg K]

well done Jay!
thats one little pocket rocket!!

[EGG80X]

jay r u going to get some slicks?

[Anonymous]

jay r u going to get some slicks?

if he runs slicks he will break sumthing for sure :cry:

[OPCVXR]

Congrats dude. That really impressive

[OPC]

:D :D :D sweet :D :D :D

[SSS_Hoon]

so when is the next run down the wsid.

maybe try some semi slicks man, and a lsd

SSS_Hoon

[OPC]

it will be a few months b4 i even think about gettin the lsd :(

[shaohaok]

would 16s fit? coz semi-slicks in 215/40r17 don't really exist. 205/50r16 is smack bang in the middle of those sorts of tyre sizes for sticky 16s.

[OPC]

if slicks were to go on they would be 14s but NO im not gunna run slicks :D
maybe semi slicks :D

but no slicks at this stage
