Realtune Caliber goes 12.52@118 [No nitrous on drag radials]

Guys,

We took the Caliber back to the track the other day [5/25/2008]. Im very very happy with the results! We really have this car cooking now.

We raised the boost from the 20psi we ran the 12.9 with to 22psi [what we dyno`d 360whp with] and added a splash of 110 to our 94 pump gas.

The end result is a 12.52@118 with a 2.0 60 foot! This is with NO NITROUS on drag radials!!

I think with more seat time, straight 110 race gas and a more aggressive tune, this car will go a consistant 12.30s on drag radials.

I feel the car is an EASY 11 second car with slicks. We have the brake conversion all ready to go [so we could use slicks], but I wanted to show what the car can do for the average person.

Mods on car :
4 gallons of 94 octane
2 gallons of 110 octane
Realtune Stage 2 package :
Tuning module [tune untouched from the 360whp dyno run]
625cc injectors
Realtune big compressor wheel stock turbo upgrade
ED turboback exhaust
Realtune Prototype WGA @18psi
TXS MBC bleeding boost to 22psi falling to 21psi
265 Drag radials
SBC stage 3 clutch
The rest of the car is STOCK..including the motor mounts.

We are making serious waves with this car. It just goes to show what a good tune and good driver can muster. Stay tuned as we are not even close to taping this setup out yet.

 

THAT is awesome! Congrats on the great numbers.

 

Thanks guys!

The setup is far from being maxed out. I fully expect to get this car in the 11s before we really dig in and make it fast. :friends:


Our goal is 12.3 on drag radials and 11.9s on slicks [once we do the brake swap] with No nitrous.

 

Please see my PM to you...

 

Very nice! Good luck to you Aaron in the coming up ventures with the Caliber.

 

uh oh did someone get in trouble

 

Great #s....what is the stock boost level?.......

 

Not in trouble, just not a vendor yet.

 

yea i know

 

I want either a Caliber Srt4 or a Crossfire Srt6 SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!

 

Awesome times Aaron, I can't wait to get my stage 1 set-up!!!

 

Opps. Someone forgot to send the money in :huglove:

 

haha. No worries Aaron.

Now that you are officially a Supporting Vendor here, ALL is great.

 

Man, screw the 110 octane, time for a meth kit! Awesome work Aaron.

 

hmmm........

 

Adding an intercooler, full race gas with more boost and timing.

Time to for 120+ traps :usflag:

 

I think you might have your dates reversed.

 

I thought the CSRT-4 already had an intercooler.

 

It does. The stock CSRT IC heatsoaks very easily. I've done a few 3rd/4th gear pulls on the highway and intake air temps are about 40 degrees higher than ambient air temp.
A good efficient IC will keep that difference at around 20 degrees or less. Cooler the intake charge, more power that is available.

 

Got the intercooler on yesterday and what a HUGE difference.

Inlet temps only went up 21 degrees at 25psi vs. 46 degress at 22psi with the stock IC.

With the race gas tune I just put in it, more boost and the IC...the seat of the pants says major gains.

We are hitting the track today and that will tell the real story.

I am doing a few passes with the old tune [to see the difference the IC made in our traps] and the rest will be with the new tune


On a side note, even the throttle response was greatly improved. The stock IC has two restrictions [one at each end]. The new IC does not and you can notice the difference for sure
