sleepercorty Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Posted April 1, 2010 also thinking about taking the cressida to the drags tomorrow converter still needs to be bigger so will probably run crap 60 foots but will at least get an idea of mph before i pull the convertor out. Quote
sleepercorty Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Posted April 1, 2010 just went for a drive to try and get it onto the convertor a bit better, to start with best i could get was about 3700rpm on the foot brake/hand brake at the same time and with my antilag button pushed (button hooked up to input on microtech, when the button is held timing is retarded 25 degrees accros the whole rpm range and 12 points of fuel are added accross the whole range to help bring boost on) . then adjusted my exhaust cam gear to 3degrees retarded and went for a drive and holding the anti lag button managed about 3900rpm with foot brake/hand brake, then adjusted intake gear 3 degrees advanced and went for another drive and both brakes on standing on the accelerator hard it flares to about 3700rpm then holding the antilag button for about 3 seconds brings it to about 4200 then you have about 3psi boost which helps flare it to about 4600rpm and 12psi before the brakes wont hold anymore. so all going well if i can get it to work then same at the drags then might even see an 11 first time out.

sleepercorty Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Posted April 4, 2010 drags were as expected i could get the car up onto boost on the street but as soon as i got to the drags couldnt get it to stall up. so only got one run lots of oil downs, ended up running 12.9 at 114mph 2.4 60 foot i hit boost cut in top gear so probably lost a couple of mph. convertor is going to get changed in the next couple of weeks and should hopefully see me into the 1.6-1.7 60 foot area which combined with another 2-3mph should see me around 11.5-12.0 somewhere then we are changing the exhaust to 3.5inch and another 5psi boost hoping for around 450-500rwhp and at least 120mph and low 11's and eventually high 10 Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 mmmmm, 10s, good mph so far. love the corty and the val Quote
oke020 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 the name actually started when i used to have a cortina with a 1jz in it, was more of a sleeper than this one but i do like the cortinas. this cortina should be exciting when its finished The 1jz cortina, was that the red one? Quote
sleepercorty Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) The 1jz cortina, was that the red one? yes the red one we did the conversion back in about 2002 and its still getting around. it used to go alot better than it does now, the conversion was done on this cressida at the same time the cortina was done. i only ran the cortina once at the drags and it ran 12.6 119mph ran lean about 3/4 track and melted 5 pistons it is still one of my favourite cars ive owned Edited April 4, 2010 by sleepercorty Quote
