R56 1/4 mile times with mods?
I know this was a thread before but seemed side track. I was just wondering what everyone’s ¼ mile times were (for the R56) and please list your mods.
I know most people don’t really drag these cars but it would be interesting to me. My friends that race mustangs and bikes don’t think that my car can run in the 13’s and it’s too cold and here to test it probably till the end of May.
I'm curious to see what everyone has come up with and where I might stand with my current mods that are in my sig below.

Maybe, i check them every so often and last month everything seemed alright. I remember disinctly on my first run my car kind of got stuck around 45mph and just didn't want to move. I'll just keep on trying

There are starting to have some posts for cars similar to yours in the similar thread posted by the op. They are coming in in the high 13s.

Just ran again with a lot less gas in the tank. 16.339. I have to email Jan at RMW to see what he needs in a Data Log to see where my car needs tweaking. Hopefully i'll have times worth posting soon

I cannot speak for him but I think Jan might say something similar, it is a boost leak somewhere, most likely the crappy boostless tubes.

Check this article I wrote here... http://www.motoringfile.com/2010/12/...ta-accessport/
I'm excellent with a high HP rear wheel drive car...but SUCKED when I ran my previous R56 Mini.
14.9 at 92MPH Completely stock
14.2 at 98MPH with my Alta AP tune.
I'm bringing my new Alta tuned JCW to the track next month to finish a long term review I'm writing for them. I have no question it will be in the mid to low 13s. The car is stupid fast with just the AP tune.

The 60' is what is killing the car. If you'll can get the 60s down to 1.60s - 1.70s. You would be flying. The secret to drag racing is lanuch. My wife wants to see what her MCS will run but I don't want her to run it like I know it has to be launched to et well. To drag race you would need the car set up to leave at 6500 with tires that stick when you drop the clutch. Also a drivetrain that will not break. Also once you leave the gas pedal would need to stay on the floor and power shift it. Not sure how well things would hold up like that.

i am in total agreement with you after going to the track last night, anything <2.0 60' would be a hell of a pass in these cars . last night was the first time i had gone with this car.
2011 R56 S 6speed
gpop turbo (stock hot side/47?mm cold side)
milltek catless dp
alta 3" exhaust
charge pipe/ebay fmic
forge short ram style intake
quaife
jmtc stage 3 clutch
megan coil overs
hsport rsb
NM rse 17x7.5
235/40r17 toyo proxes (with about 50 miles on them)
full interior
100 octane (more out of necessity)
manic stage 2 tune maps b/c, car hasnt been retuned since new turbo, probably going to wait till meth is installed (when?? dunno paid for, its on backorder)
got 4 runs in.. temp started out around 78*, dropped to prob around 65* by the last pass. traction is the biggest issue, i never went with 205s on but i dont think it could have gone any worse
all passes, no water box - traction/dsc completely off - probably minimum 20 minutes between runs
1st pass - (Map B) no burn out, attempted to launch with no luck, pedaled through first and second.
2nd run very similar to 1st, but slower
3rd run - (Map C) enough burn out to clean the tires off, launch a little lower, got a slight bit of wheel hop but rode the clutch enough to get through it pretty clean but still spun towards the top of 1st and pedaled 2nd, held it in 2nd gear a little to long and power dropped off. after run the line for time slip was about 10 cars deep so i didnt get slip for this run, didnt feel any better than the others.
4th pass - little more burnout, (map C) tried to walk it off the line and lay into it towards top of 1st gear, didnt help much but it was best run of the night
Mine are all the 14.X passes, mph looks pretty good but the 2.5+ 60's are rough

Yeah some good launches would post some great times.
I ended up having to disconnect one wheel speed sensor to get the ABS to go into fail mode and that let me do a burn out. Supposedly it's just an issue with the 07 models.
My best 60' so far (about 3 trips to the drags) is a 2.3 with 13.3 sec pass.
I'm running stock clutch and I can smell it when I try to feather the clutch.
I have tried BF G2 tires and now have RE-71R , I need a better tire cause I can fry 2nd and 3rd gear.

wish i had a chance to make a few more passes. I would have liked to play with the traction/dsc settings and see if 60' would get better.
I think on my 2011, if i do nothing (they're both on) it cuts engine power to stop wheel spin. press once and "traction" lights up will attempt to keep tires from spinning (by braking) but not cut power - wanted to make a pass with it in that mode. press and hold turns them both off - that didnt work out so well.
thought about stripping the seats out (and sub+box) but thats cheating i'll wait till i can hammer out all the other factors and then drop weight.
what mph are you trapping? 108-110ish?

How is your clutch holding up? That is the main weakness I think of these cars. If the clutch was stronger you could put more tire on the front and that would help with the launch. These cars are awesome for roll-on's, I've taken down an SRTB Magnum before. I checked that guys driveway the other day and he just bought a Mini!
