Turbo Territory @ Calder

Rob · 02-09-2006, 07:50 AM

Last night at Calder, a white turbo tezza with 22s ran 15.1, then a 14.9. Not bad for a tank..

Would go faster without the 22 inch rims, too.

Steffo · 02-09-2006, 10:35 AM

I saw one of those on the M4 the other day... they look pretty cool.

Indeed. Some stock 17's and mid 14's would be a shoe-in

**Mechan1k** · 02-09-2006, 10:48 AM

Well ... stock wheel size is actually 18" to fit over the standard brakes.

JD86 · 02-09-2006, 11:01 AM

gee thats alright, yeh would of gone quicker with the standard wheels, but im sure it looked better with the 22s

Rob · 02-09-2006, 11:05 AM

It was too quiet... couldnt hear anything. Wheels looked bodgy too, rice almost. The tezza itself actually looked horn however.

There were a couple of EF/EL's running respectable times too.

Go the Terry!!

i was running the bf last night (BFXR6T plates), 14.134 was my best.3/4 tank of juice and 760km's on the clock, 100% stock.good fun :hihi: but would of loved a 13.99

:
14.225 with the aircon on heheh. top mph was 101.9 iirc

Rob · 02-09-2006, 02:33 PM

Nice, I saw you there.. my mate actually said Oi look at those plates! lol.

Nice work, had a few good runs there aye?

RACINGdork · 02-09-2006, 02:41 PM

yeah was good fun, just gotta learn how to drive!! hehe. i was a bit dissapointed with the temp as it was cold all week at night, then i go drag racing and it was steaming.plates only went on on wednesday.

Rob · 02-09-2006, 03:38 PM

See that Mitsu van in the burnout comp?

RACINGdork · 02-09-2006, 03:44 PM

yeah saw the van. i just found that the new car mats i put in yesterday was making it so i couldnt get W.O.T. was losing 3-4 cm on the throttle, and the "kickdown click"(last little bit of throttle that has a click) was totally not there, so im thinking of taking it down again in the next few weeks.

**Mechan1k** · 02-09-2006, 03:46 PM

Is that plumber van still around ... with the V8 in the back of it.
If it's the same one I am thinking of it used to do wheelstands ... LOL

CSV_LS1 · 02-09-2006, 03:55 PM

That Territory with the 22's i think was the horsepower factory car. Supposed to be running 218awkw (up from 180awkw) with just a tune. I'm guessing it was running with a standard tune.

Rob · 02-09-2006, 04:38 PM

It had 'HPF' plates, so it's a good bet you're correct.

Smoked · 02-09-2006, 05:15 PM

Awesome. I got a test drive of a turob terry not long ago. Pulls hards as for a barge.

Why is that? What difference does wheel size make? Is it to do with weight?
Sorry for the (probably) dumb question but I don't understand why wheel size impacts 1/4 mile time?

XR Martin · 02-09-2006, 07:10 PM

Yes weight. Metal is heavier than rubber, plus when you're talking about more weight on a wheel, its equivalent to something like three or four times the weight anywhere else on the car.
So if the 22in wheels weight 10kg more each, it could be equal to a 120-160kg passenger. (2 or 3 tenth in the 1/4 atleast)

Any1 know what a NA terri does? is it high 16s low 17s

anakha · 03-09-2006, 09:41 AM

BadMac

Further to one of the previous posts heavy wheels/tyres are worse for acceleration not just due to their mass but also due to the engine having to overcome the increased moment of inertia (rotational inertia).

Mid 16's.

qwigybo · 03-09-2006, 11:23 PM

bah hahahha cam

Tapd · 04-09-2006, 06:24 AM

i believe the white territory ran a best time of 14.1@98mph. This time was with a flash tune, it ran a 14.9 bog stock without the tune. Well done fellas!!

sfr rob · 06-09-2006, 03:59 PM

hmm.. i saw that terry run also, and i really wasnt impressed.. i was expecting very low 14's at least... Hasnt the Nizpro terry run a low 11?
I say, stock wheels, and an overhaul on exhaust tune etc would see that thing pushing some good times!

It was just a bit of a bummer, i told my mate next to me.. ."watch this, this thing is gonna smoke this statesman." But unfrotunatly, it wasnt the case. :hihi:

Rob they were just testing the stock territory, i'm sure they'll be back soon running some real numbers.

sfr rob · 11-09-2006, 01:24 PM

Oh, well that makes a whole lot of sense now! LOL
i would love to see another terry in the 11's!
