Nitto nt555r's are terrible, I could never hook with them. Try a MT radial. Coilovers are also hurting your 60ft, but you can cut it down with better tires.

[Sforteen]

Full weight S14 W/AC

RB25 W/26 Head and ITBS

6766 JB turbo @ 17-18psi street tuned by myself on 92 pump

Weld RTS 15x9.25 6.5in back space 275/50/15 Mickeys

17x4.5 in the front with 185/55/17

Ran a best of 11.66@128mph 2.05 60ft

Ran another 11.68 letting off at the 1000ft - 115mph / 102mph in the 1/8th

Kept braking axles so i didnt want to launch hard resulting in the crappy 60's, best 60 was a 2.01 lol

airbags went off on the 2nd axle breakage.. Disconnect them!!

Are you on stock axle? Hardly anything on s chassis is strong enough to be abuse. You have to take other car drivetrain and put in s chassis to abuse it. I wonder how did Honda people do it.

I was on stock axles and R200 with S15 differential and 4.63 gears

Car is apart now upgrading to R32 GTR axles and hubs and modifying subframe to accept an R230 Z32 twin turbo rear end.
Also have a set of Richmond gears to install as well.

I have broken 2 R200 240sx pinions.. Not as strong as people think..

Sfourteen, are you launching using a line lock or foot brake only? Forgive me if that is a stupid question I am concerned that i may break an axle as well and am curious about how the new setup works.

Keep in mind you have no where near the torque he does...

I was running factory axles for almost over a year with 9lb launch control with 6krpm dump launches and never snapped an axle but instead of snapping an axle the cv joints started to loosen up in the inbound and outbound mounts. I think it was the type of tire I was using that softened the blow (Hoosier quick time pro).

Whats everyones goal for the new season?

My goal is to get the car to run high 9s with full interior and still use the factory IRS but with D2 drag coilovers

[zurud]

My goal this year is running 7's in the 1/8 mile without breaking anything. Other than r200 and sr, nothing else is stock. Do you guys think Prothane bushing and Isis suspension arms help with traction issues especially with all season street tires? I do not break anything with street tires because it just spin.

That's all your ever going to do is spin if your using street tires

[slow92]

My goal is to finally get my car back on the road. Plus, want to hit 700+whp and shock all of the v8 lovers at the track.

Did you really just quote something from 2009? Not only old as shit, but you didn't read more than 2 posts into the thread?

What?

On topic, I just want to get in the 11s by the end of the year.

This thread is for those of us who own 240's and don't like to slide our cars.

Only those hardcore kids that sold their Hondas to get a 240 cause they finally found out what drifting was when it started showing up on YouTube, would only ask that question

I'd like to get the car down the track, I want to see a time faster then 11.49 so it makes sense to have a cage in the car lol. Hoping for a high 10 second run.

Wait Tyler, I like this thread and sliding my car. I must be different.

removing the front sway allows for free movement by removing tension to help with weight transfer.

more input on this?, I just finished up my swap & my front sway bar [stock] is currently removed since it doesn't clear the motor. I was going to invest in a sikky sway bar.. should i not bother?.

If you are only drag racing then keep the stock front. The key thing with 240's is getting the weight transferred to the back as much as you can!!! I can not stress that enough. Example....

My car: stock shocks/springs, sub frame spacers, completely gutted, 275/60/15 m/t drag radial, rolled rolled and rolled some more rear quarter, stock sways, launch control, gt2876r, 380hp/385tq, 93 pump gas

Both cars are running apexi power fc-d jetro and were tuned by Ray shake at M-A motorsports on their mustang dyno.

Friend: megan coilovers lowered 1.5", no sub frame spacers, half interior, 255/50/16 m/t drag radial, rolled quarter, nismo sway bars and strut bars, no launch control, borg warner s256, 410hp/390tq, Cam 2 fuel

My pass was 11.20 @ 121mph and 1.52 60'
His pass was 11.70 @ 124mph and 1.82 60'

Power is nothing if you can't get the car to hook and squat.



Let me know if that video works. I can't see it on my work computer.

[2muchboost]

^^^Fortune Auto made a custom setup for me. I forget the details of all the valving and technicality but I remember the front spring was 11kg and the back was 6kg......transfer to the rear is were my weight shall go.

[Whitesil80315]

Anyone in the northeast joining me at The IFO and IRev events this year?

Lol yeah I had forgotten to update this thanks for posting the graph. My goal for 2014 is to run mid 7's in the 1/4 and make at least 7 events.

Thanks dude, im currently making 425hp on 15psi, going to get a retune in the future to shoot for 650hp, just wanna get as close to a 10 second pass as possible lol & i'm in long Island NY.

Video didnt work, but gotcha. So i should really invest in some solid subframe collars? You think strut bars are a no?

YehI'm definitely going with MT's or Hoosier Drag Radials for the upcoming season. I needed a track/street combo so I went w/ the Nitto's. My goal for the upcoming season is 11's in the 1/4'. Going single turbo, 850cc injectors, & AEM standalone.

[2muchboost]

Well done 2STEP the car looks very clean.
