I know this is noob question but how fast are your guys 0-60 I havent seen any videos of hard pulls on RX8 mostly dynos and revving

 

nobody wants to destroy their clutch is my guess .....

 

dude! thank you for askin this question, i dont think ive ever seen it posted either, alongside some quarter mile times

 

i know no one wants to destroy their clutch but im sure someone has tried it atleast once...and im just trying to get times because i have never ridden in turbo rx8 seen turbo rx8...all ive seen are dyno pulls and such

 

here is something i did way back when running about 8psi so around 270whp

by my reckoning it is 5.6s 0-60 which is not too bad considering it was a very soft takeoff .

oh god

 

/\ what ?

 

 

you thought it was in MPH didn't you ............. LOL

 

that confused me at first
and then i had to get out my converting calculator

 

I have a clutch that can take the abuse but my tranny cannot. lol

 

I should do another run to show what 300whp will do ....

 

Do it NAO!

 

if u do show gauge and road

 

/\ easier said than done

 

I love the youtube comments about the acceleration being fake. Funny how many people don't seem to realize that there is another system of measurement outside of the US.

 

hmmmm I think I can go on 2nd gear close to 100km/h on your video looks like 2nd 9k RPM you are about 60km/h??? why

 

cuz i'm still in first - what looks like a gearchange is just wheelspin . Watch the sqiggly lines

 

ohhh ok hehe

 

I still need to get my 8 out to the drag strip since going turbo.....Although I worry for my transmission. And now that I'm in thinner air I know it won't be quite as fast, but I think bone stock 8's up in this altitude (5900 ft +) are running 16's......

Honestly I'd be happy with anything in the 12's since this isn't even a drag car.

 

altitude doesnt affect turbo cars the way it does n/a cars since you are creating an artificial environment (concerning air pressure) inside the engine.

 

another bonus of not supercharging!

 

Yes I am aware....but it does affect boost threshold and throttle response since there is less air. Mainly it takes slightly longer for the turbo to spool since there is less air available to it.

Exactly! Haha, since a turbo isn't fixed to engine rpm.

 

Ok did a run this afternoon . This was my one and only shot at it so there is way more potential as my takeoff was being very kind to the clutch .
0-60 is around 5.3
0-100 around 11.9
0-110 in around 13.2 . Equivalent to 1/4 mile in the 12s ?

dam i bet with a better take off and a harder push youd be somewhere around the 5 mark with is awesome ...
