997.1 Alpha 9 Tiptronic finally runs 9s today
 

Got out to the track, car bouncing off rev limiter between 2nd and 3rd all day. Made 10 runs, finally broke into the 9s ( barely :)

Pump gas, ecu tuned, tcu tune,stock internals, built tip.

Thanks Mark and Emre for the tech support.


2nd video you can hear the car bouncing off rev limiter.


On another note, brothers 997.2 vert Cobb tune, tubi exhaust and an 11y old nephew in the car, 11.04

lol where did you find a camera that shoots in 240p resolution?

awesome runs, looks like a brutal launch. Must feel amazing

Congrats, that's awesome for pump gas!! Is your tip built??

Tip was built here in Toronto, TCU was sent out to Emre

I think you have been speaking with my mechanic Kosta at KTM motorworks about a similar set up going down on a 6spd car.

Congratulations on the 9s first time out. Awesome :D What's next? ;)

I've been speaking with Sean as well - he has the same turbos as mine on the way.

Great runs, which drag strip? How much boost? Ultra 94 gas?

Petro Canada 94. 26 lbs of boost or somewhere there. Really need to wrap my head around that boost controller and data log for next time. Went there with nothing but few fans to cool car down and high hopes. ( mind you we had some vbox data encouraging those hopes).

St Thomas was the track.

26psi?!?!?! and here I am pussyfooting around with 21-22psi, lol. No wonder Sam sent me a bib and a soother.
I think you have alpha 3076 turbos? If you are willing, please share your boost vs rpm curve. Any timing pull with that setting?

Yeah 3076s, have no curves or data of any type other than the odd vbox run as satelite reception was **** out there. We didn't have the means to do anything other than drop tire pressure, cool car down with some fans and keep running. Made 10 passes over 4h. Were all 9.99 to 10.1 for the most part. Next time need to data log. Don't overthink it :) just put your foot on the gas. Have some faith!

This is with the Magnus dynotune file?

Yes sir. Haven't touched the tune since he did it other than turning back on some emission stuff to get an etest up here, which I left on as it didn't throw a check engine light. Drove the car to and from the track (120 Miles).

Good to know it will pass etest with alphas etc - some other guys were having troubles. I'm not due for couple of years.

Well that's not exactly true. It passed, but!
