Who's Got Over 250kws With A Auto In Sa?

[dangerman4]

as it says?

im just curious

[dangerman4]

ive just pumped out 267.5kws at the wheels,

and i was wondering if anyone else has been

down this road.

[Bunta]

Im hoping to be there in a few weeks!!! I have all the parts I need now I just need someone to bolt the suckers on!!

I imagine there is a fair few people on this forum who are around this mark!!

[Bunta]

What parts did you use to get there?? Also what car

[r31turbo]

S3 girl / darren has like 380rwkw go the 31 thats at the wheels on pump fuel and no traction

my list of mods is in the forced induction section.

Yep 378rwkw on 23psi, with a lame tune, 2 degrees less timing than what

we would run, and 11.5 a/f ratios. I have somehow become head tester of these Electronic Jatco's. I broke the first version(blew 2nd gear hub to pieces)

after the first 4 days of 315rwkw on 16psi. I now have the first aftermarket hub, 3 times stronger than the original. The clutches seem to be coping with the power. The problem i am having now, is the box is selecting 2nd and the first clutch in 3rd at the same time, and i keep losing gears for no reason then they come back. Mike is currently designing a new shift servo to fix this, while

the car is getting painted. I make 680nm of torque(around 10,500N) in top gear (3rd), the car physically will not stay on the dyno in 2nd.

The massive torque hit with the GT42 is what killed the 2nd gear hub.

eeeeww auto

[r31turbo]

what kind of comment is that? autos are handy if ur planning to run 10's and lower at the drags

[S3_Girl]

eeeeww auto

Absolute wanker...the car would be ALOT slower from a standing start or actually even a roll on

with a manual, it would just wheelspin on the spot keeping up with 12 sec cars ,waste of money.

But i have full traction now once it hits second, and it is a animal on the street, bikes hate it

Good to see that others apreciate the auto.

Daren, what torque converter (ie the rpm) are you using? Its one of my next mods allong with injectors so that I can get the power the turbo is capable of delivering.

I had @280 @ wheels, detuned to areound 240 for now.

But its not an auto.

PS: Autos suck

What george and theo/gt autosound car.....everyones there mates aren't they

Full weight, manual supras have gone 8.9 at 170mph in the states........that's impressive.

while you might think 350rwkw in a manual street car is very driveable, i can tell you

while it feels fast, the 12 sec ls1 will still be door handle to door handle with you on the street,

and the auto will be 300m down the rd, before you have stopped spinning, i see this every weekend.

My mates have nearly all taken the manuals out of there cars for autos now, as they got sick of

getting waxed by nearly stock auto vl turbos, with baby converters and coolers.

I am running a stock converter at the moment 4 dr, i have a 3500rpm one here, but it is to hard to

tune the car on the dyno as it is, with all the line pressure behind it. Once fully tuned i will fit it.

I will probally put a KEAS 3 speed in it with a transbrake next though, if this trans gives me anymore probs.

For your combo, i would probally put a 2800rpm behind it, i had one before. It seems to be the biggest you

can go before it affects general driveability, and it still locks up on the highway ok, i drove to Melbourne

and back with mine, it wasn't bad., Good street converter.

my mate has an auto HSV GTO LE and its 257kw at wheels (im 175 rwkw), and from take off he kills me in first, to abou 1.5 car lengths, then in 2nd gear i keep with him till abuot 4th then he breaks away to about 2-3 car lengths.

then we tried rolling start at 40kmh, i kept with him to about 3rd when he started breaking away to about 1 car length.

so yeh autos have big advandage (n so does the extra 80 kws lol)

When u consider the weight of the car, the extra 80kw probably isnt enough to make it an even comparison if they were both manuals.

Sorry i don't get me wrong i appreaciate drag racing.........but lets face it, it's for people that cant drive around corners and besides we have cars that are made for turning, whether it be hills racing(togue), track racing or drifting. I say if you wanna race in a straight line buy a commo or a falcon, because they don't handle well at all, but hey thats my point(waiting to get blasted by the draggers ), But like i said i DO appreaciate the stomping V8's with a massive charger out the bonnet, I think they are all good!

[4door_Sleeper]

A serious racing team would use a manual, but I havnt noticed any problems keeping up with any of you guys through the hills. I select my gears manually rather than leave it in drive, and I have the torque you are lacking whenI need it.

[Nozila]

yes guy your car is fast. reflect on r33 4dr vs sti comparsion, you know what i mean.
