I don't think you have 200rwkw if your getting 2.1sec 60ft times and only running 13.9 ET...
Their is an absolute sh1tload more to it than just "power = xyz ET". 60ft, midrange vs topend, quickness of gear shifts, track conditions are just to name a few.

An example would be last week I raced against an SAU member in identical cars whom I believe has about 50hp more than my car yet I was doing 4mph quicker TS than him, but he had a 0.2sec quicker ET. Using your theory he should have a higher TS than myself but the reality was he was nailing his gear shifts where as I was having difficulty.

Anyone that thinks 1/4 mile racing is as simple as dropping a clutch and putting your foot on the throttle for 400m is kidding themselves.

this is in another thread as well, 200+rwkw with 18" 265 35. olims susp, i was managing 13.4 at 171kph with 1st gear wheel spin, In april i am organising a canberra SAU WSID run, for that i will be running the 33 with 16" 225 65 slicks, should break into the 12's

as an example I ran 13.7 ET with a 60ft of 2.4 and I have about 200rwkw with similar mods to yours...

leads me to my next question what was your MPH?... as I reckon 2.1 ain't that bad with street tyres and should be good for low 13s ET

god damn it....dont people READ these days ????????????????

I said it was a happy dyno......and im doubtful of that figure myself...

Sorry....I know your just trying to help but sick of people repeating the same shit over and over again...

hahhaha and john....your more than welcome to try driving my car.....but you bend it you mend it.

Guarantee you wont be able to break 14s..... :tongue:

There is obviously more to drag racing than just the car or just a power figure.

Why else would Paul and Stacey be 1 full second apart in the same car?

Why did I get 13.8 with 189rwkw and 13.5 with 228rwkw?

Why did Brenden - ECR033 - get a 12 with 200rwkw? Sam got one at that power too from memory.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
