CA 135i Running High-11's down the 1/4 Mile

ridin135 · 01-10-2010, 09:42 AM

Nice runs but these brings up a big question for me. How the hell does hotrod trap 124+ in a 335 with hardly any mods and you dont' even trap that using nitrous?

Sometimes a run with a harder launch will net a faster ET but lower trap speed.

Hotrod's got just about as much done to his car as this one does. That 25 shot of nitrous isn't making a huge difference, and is probably more to keep the charge temps under control at those boost levels than anything else.

Also, I thought hotrod was running a 135i? Is that not the case?

He is runing a 335 and he only has dci, catless downpipes, jb3, and meth.

You're right, he is running a 335i, I had him confused with Oldbooster. If he's had any runs with trap speeds that high, I don't see them listed.

Here's Oldbooster, who has the fastest N54 powered car right now as far as I know. He's got some high trap speeds, but he's also spraying the car I think.

From that thread:

Quote:

Engine Mods are:
JB3 18 Ohm (off the shelf map)
BMS DCI
BMS Basic Meth Kit
UR 2.5" Downpipes.

Thats it for engine mods, period!

Weight loss to get it closer to the weight of a 135i are:
Removal Of Passenger seats,
Braille Battery
K1 Wheels with 17" Nittos/Generals or Hoosier

A lot of what he's doing has to do with weight reduction. If you want to pull the seats out of your car, it's going to increase the trap speeds as well.

Excellent run time. I am impressed and glad to know the p[ontential of our ones. Thanks for sharing.

Yes...I know Ronnie. I am very happy with my car. You see my new times. I am now the fastest N54.

(Not the Quickest...yet.)

Seriously...that video never gets old.

I don't know how many times I've watched them...and drag racing isn't necessarily my favorite thing to do with a car.

Brian,

Thats a fast 135! What kind of nitrous kit are you using? ZEX, N/X? Did you install it yourself or did you have a kit installed somewhere? Do you ever think about going to a 50hp nozzle if so?

Thanks,
W

IZAGLO · 02-14-2010, 02:17 PM

Brian..that's one fine car ya got there man...Being new to the 135i platform it's a treat watching these video's.
What rpm are you launching at??? I no you are on drag radials but on the stock RFT's what would be the best RPM to launch at? Also are you running the stock motor/trans mounts or did you upgrade? Lastly, are you using the paddles or just put in in D and go WOT and hold on? Seems what i have read the sweet spot to shift is at 64-6500 rpms.

Thanks! I had a guy that I know, help me make a kit and install it. Using NOS parts. I have try different HP shots and a .28 works very well, with my setup. On the dyno I got about 35-40 HP!

I launch around 2500 rpm's with drag tires. With the stock tires...1600-1800 rpms should be good. I use the stock engine, turbos and tranny. I use the DS and shift at about 6400 rpms, with the paddles.

During the burnout in the second video it sort of looks like he's got an exhaust dump. You can see the tire smoke doing funny things under the car, but it's hard to say for certain what's going on. That used to be very popular with the Grand National guys.

135 11.5 to M3 13.3 .. how is that a hole shot?

"Hole shot" means he killed him coming out of the hole (off the line), and he did. The ET doesn't really have anything to do with it.

No a holeshot is when you win the race with a slower ET by virtue of a better RT.
