This just reminded me about 1/4mile times. When I was into my MG's this was the man in the know.

He holds the records for 1/4 Miles in front wheel drive cars.

His 800 bhp ZR does it in 10.23 and that obviously is set up for records.

His 550 bhp Maestro Maestro does it in 11.81 and as above.

But obviously everyones an expert! To me this 106 set up on the day with tires has a chance at taking the Maestro's record.

Birk, thats a pretty crappy time for 400+ bhp

My 306 with the homemade turbokit, did 13.3 @ 174 kmpu, and that was on 260BHP and on the crappiest craptires available = WANLI

I know Andy, and this is with his 600BHP Civic

Will dive this season under the 10secs, and yes its his dailydriven grocerygetting car

I don't give a f**k what mine does 1/4 mile in, if I was to keep trying it I doubt my clutch would last long.

To be honest mine was much easier to launch when it was low boost, and I doubt there's much in it up to 60, however now when the moment the wheels suddenly gain traction happens a low boost would never make me feel as much g force as it does now, if mine was a second quicker over low boost on a 1/4 mile id say that's excellent, it doesn't matter how much power is there it's how it puts it down on the Tarmac that really matters.

Look at a car built for the drag strip, nothing like a road/track or race car, look at the size of the rear wheels they have (rwd)

The other thing people forget is the Rotrex achieves its Torque way up in the rev range rather than lowdown like a turbo! When I get mine built ill take it to the pod to see what time I can get but for fun not as a willy waving contest! I think that the 106 in this thread looks awesome fun and hopefully my superhighboost will be too. Think about the torque of a 450bhp turbo it's torque will be approx 400lbft at a guess
450bhp rotrex makes only 330lbft.
Turbo torque is what makes them fast and as Pugheaven and others have said the gearbox and charger setup is not suited to drag use!

At least we got that sorted lol

End of topic end of thread end of my laughter for the day

not really as you haven't taken in to account the lack of torque of the supercharger set up.... You could have 1000hp but its useless with out torque

Say for example you had 2 400hp 306's one turbo'd and one supercharged the turbo one would always win due to the torque it produces and at the revs it produces it at

As we have mentioned in other threads, not many people have had readings from other rolling roads to prove that chip wizard (Wayne) is giving false readings just to make people happy with the 400hp that they have been told they have, however I would assume that a man with such a good rep throughout loads of car forums would not risk his name or business just to make the owners of lynx supercharger kits happy.

Now I have a bit more cash to burn I MIGHT get my high boost and super high boost on the rollers when I get back..... But again I will take the readings with a pinch of salt as no rolling road will give the same readings no matter how precise they claim there rollers are...

Im sure im not the only one but I couldn't care less about figures and care more about how it feels when im driving it and having a blast against more expensive "fast cars"

watch the vid on you tube of a high boost supercharged 306 going from 0-140 they aint slow

60-100 must be around 5 seconds, I can get my high boost to go from 0-100 within 10 seconds and off the clock (140) within 15 seconds

0-60 isn't that impressive but it will still wipe the smile of most "fast cars" owners

Great thread

1/4 mile is for homos anyhow

just timed 60-100 in my 306 hdi, took 5.5 seconds to be fair, the turbo kick is insane and it was torque steering across the street but it was late so not doing it again now
