Leon 1/4 mile times...

[LEE69]

How are you measuring it mate?

 

[Al]

Bump. This thing needs updated.

 

[Faisal]

if u did a 2.2 dead then i would guess u should do a 13.4 (assuming you didn't miss a gear and changed gear as quick as possible AND you changed at the optimum rpm!)

what is the optimum rpm to change gear in drags?

iv heard it was 6500 revs where the boost finishes,some1 else tells me its redlined...

Depends on the turbo you have, mapping and where the peak power is....

6500 sound about right for a K04 Cupra R, a K03 cupra I'd say 6000, my car more like 7000

I feel that changing at 5,600 RPM is best for me as this is my peak torque

in my car I change at 6.5k revs yes

 

[Al]

My ears are tuned in to the car so I have no idea what I change at lol. Think is about 6250-6500

 

[Faisal]

so definately no redlining?
1 more n00bish question, when starting from 0,what revs are you sitting at before launching past Golfs and the like?

Not sure what you mean? Bear in mind there are all sorts of Golfs out there mate. An Ed30 with DSG is gonna be a hard/impossible one for a car with the same engine and a manual box to overcome - infact, I would say it is the fastest golf out there, ahead of the R32.

Nothing's impossible Al... You're getting closer and closer though..

For a decent launch in a LCR I use to launch at about 2500rpm (that was a Stage 1 LCR though, probably a little more for a standard one, 3k for example)

If I could perfect the launch and match your 2.1 second 60 foot times, 13.4 is there for the taking

I got 2.1 in the LCR mate. Best i've got in the Golf is 2.29.. Needs perfecting also me thinks....
This is what I was sayig about the launch mat control. It's no real help over a manual in a FWD car mate.. Especially one that is running 40-50% more power than stock..

 

[J@mes]

13.2 @ 107mph!

very good Ben! I assume that was with the rear seats and spare wheel out too though?!

and lastly was it at Pod?! lol



I have my pod tickets for the next RWYB on a sunday, so hopefully I will improve my time! Hoping for a 13.6 and a decent terminal!

I read over on gtiforum that you made 2.1 in the Ed30

Anyway, the 0.4 seconds difference over the 1/4 mile between DSG and manual must be fairly accurate as my 13.6 was done with a 2.3 seconds 60 ftoot time

 

[J@mes]

wow didnt realise the DSG would be that good!

 

[Faisal]

last retarded question,im assuming you are dragging with the traction control off?

[Al]

Those are nice figures mate. What is the spec of your car?
