Default My 1/4 mile times

Was at Crail drag strip at the weekend in my Escort RS turbo.

And recorded a time 12.65 at 122mph




Not bad for 3 year old tyres

Its the first outing this year in my Gotech Pro-X, GT30 powered ZVH running 27psi.

Simon.

Does anybody know if it is the fastest time set by a FWD Escort RS turbo?

I know Tims in the 12s also.

How do you find that Go-Tech? Thinking about it for my own S2 as part of it's re-birth this year. Not going mental on it but was hoping to swap the management and sort some new rims

What tyres did you do the time on?

If they were not road legal then the PF numpty brigade will not really take much notice of that time.

Certainly your power to weight and your terminal speed match my mates nova give or take slightly in his favour, so your car to me is performing as it should

Pretty sure tim's done a 12.6 something! Wouldn't bet against it being quicker this year though from what he's said about his new engine on here

Sold it, its in a fancy Fiesta. Well, sold the head. The bottom end is still in my car.

This is the engine from my dyno graph that you didnt like. But with different cam.

Cheers Tim, I am flying the flag for Escorts.

What 60ft did you get? mines a 2.2

I have to admit that I havent got Nos on yet!

More power with more boost and nos for spooling MIGHT mean better times??????

Simon I think with a 2.2 60ft you do have scope for improvement to a low 12!!

Rob, what 60ft's do you get? You taking it to the pod anytime soon?

wont be going to pod till pv, and the 60 foots dont have a clue

the guy doing the timings on the TV day was surposed to send me all the files form the performance box and then id have been able to check but he never sent them

0-60 was 5.1 so i expect somewhere around the 2.2 maybe 2.1 for myself aswell
