VE 1/4 mile times only data base. - Part 1

[Wonky]

It turns out that the OTR I had was robbing the car of 45kw with the bonnet closed. With the bonnet open on the dyno it was producing food numbers but with it closed it was severely restricting the airflow. I still cant get over how much power it was sucking out of the car.

I was sure I had a post quoting figures on the Orrsom OTR on my previous SSV sedan which indicated that yours must have been installed incorrectly to lose 45rwkw and I just found it!

See http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthre...6&#post1114846, in particular the sentences "As a matter of interest Chev then tried some runs with bonnet down and then bonnet down and cover off the OTR. Made no difference to AFRs and the kw only varied by a little as normally happens in different runs with no changes at all."

im back home for the last 2 waw meets, so hopefully i'll get a few more runs in the ve. highly doubtful but i'm aiming for a 10.1 or better going to play around with the stall convertor programming and loose a bit of weight out of it.

I hope they do some track prep,i was there on wednesday and with no andra meets anymore and 2 weeks of no waw due to rain i seriously struggled for grip usually my 60 foot times are between 1.78 and 1.9 and on wednesday all 4 runs between 2.0 and 2.3, i havent had a 60 foot time over 2.0 for 2 years or since i started running on ets.

Not having a go at you at all wonky but the orssom otr i used to have was installed by 1 of the workshops that helped in the initial design and testing of that particular otr. Apart from that, itd be pretty hard to screw up installing it. If you were wondering, yes the rubber seal on the bonnet was cut in the required place to allow air into the otr. I always had an incling that it may have been not the best design around but I still went with that brand to begin with because i think I had read that thread regarding the testing you are talking about. However, the proof was infront of my eyes when I watched it get dynoed with bonnet up and down last week, 2 runs of each for consistency, and I have the dyno print outs to prove it. The afrs were very lean with the bonnet open, and even leaner with the bonnet closed. I also have that dyno print out. Now that I have the VCM OTR i have run 12.6 @ 184 with a 2.1 60ft time compared to my previous best of 13.0 @ 172 with a 2.0 60 ft time. Thats enough proof to me.

I would like to know how chev managed to test it with little difference in power.

yeah my old man raced his car this week and said it was a bit slippery. yet he till ran a new pb of 9.87 @ 145mph. im using slicks on the ve too, so that helps

I was watching while he did it - only a kw or two difference with the bonnet down from memory, certainly not even 5kw or I'd have noted that in the post back then. As I said above, my Dus Mk 2 actually gained a little with the bonnet down.

ran another 2 x 10.2's tonight.

this was the quickest @ 10.232

Congrats to Eddy and the team at Active Automotive....Eddy ran a 9.897@138.46 with 1.474 60' and 0.238 reaction time in his blown E3 GTS...the first positive displacement blown VE to run a 9.......

Holy crap! 9's in a positive displacment blown Ve!!
Is that a HTV charger??
I was about to chase this time in the coming weeks I'm sure ill have it nailed time will tell

That is great work any details on the car????

Maggie 2300 I believe

[Rocksteady]

Anyone know any other specs about the car?
That's a quick 60ft is the car stripped? Very impressive none the less
What tyres?

[white lie]

Couldn't tell you anything about it, but going by the FB pics they put up, it wasn't stripped. Didn't see inside but could clearly see the passenger seat.
Very unassuming for a 9 sec car, looked like a regular VE GTS on slicks!

[Rocksteady]

Man those guys know how to get them hauling!!
If anyone else or active can shed some specs of the car would be great!

[Tre-Cool]

im just curious to know if it's still running the factory auto or a turbo 400.
