slicclex Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have this application for the itouch that tests the 0-60 times and 1/4 mile runs. I ran my 91 Lexus LS400 on a run and came up with these results: Can the LS400 really run high 14's? I don't have any mods except for maybe deleted resonators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky13 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I don know what the dif between a 92 and a 91 is but Ive hit much higher than 100.6 mph in a 92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicclex Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 No, the 100 mph is referring to the max speed at the end of the quarter mile run. I know very well the LS400 can hit WAY over 100+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRK Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Your data is very optimistic. 91's don't run a 14 second quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicclex Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I was shocked when I saw the results. What is the average quarter mile time for 91's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrome04 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I doubt a 91 is pushing almost 280hp too ;) cool app though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklouis Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 These 4.0 Lexus/Toyota V8's have always been slightly underrated. if i had one of these Torqy V8's back in my drag racing days, i would definitely modified it and run it at the track - but not in a LS400 Body - prolly woulda Strapped it to a Celica and run high 8's easily. There are racing parts for these engines now, thanks to Toyota's racing venture. and you can stroke one of these 4.0's to a hefty 4, 5, or 600+ Horsepower with the first stroker kit. just be ready to spend some mula on the parts, and the rebuild if you cant do it yourself. but thats on a whole different Forum alltogether - the toyota/Lexus V8 Forum - just for powertrain enhancements. they have links to all the goodies where you can buy these stroker kits for your V8's. also, on an episode of truckin', they now have a chip available to add more horse to these V8's -for the 4.7 tundra on that episode, so maybe the earlier Toyota V8's as well. so if you want a ridiculous amount of horsepower and want to be able to outrun a porsche Boxter from a redlight, the Toyota/Lexus V8 forum can show ya how...just be ready to fork out the dough. Lex ya later! M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrome04 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yeah at Lextreme.. He said he doesn't have any mods other than muffler delete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicclex Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 How does the iTouch measure peak horsepower???? I'm still not sure on that one either. I think it calculates the curb weight and drivetrain loss by your quarter mile time but not 100% sure. I've looked on google for answers but they're tons of mixed answers.

PureDrifter Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 this is nothing, if you start the run while holding your iPod Touch or iPhone and just wildly flail your arms in the air, you'll be looking at sub 3 second 0-60 times and quarters under 8 seconds.... i don't trust these at all, too many variables. fun to mess around with but never taken seriously. get your car on a track and see if it'll run 14s :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky13 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Runs more like 16s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 It has to be mounted on a firm stable position to be 15% accurate anything less and it is off. Also the roads angle and curve changes the variables. Intersteing for base lineing results after changes but not in comparision to other cars unless using the same road and device. The older 1uz never made anwhere lose to 280 at the crank never mind the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
