SO... is this still being used as a daily driver? Cause like... I don't go past any Sunoco outlets on the way to work...

*pokes flame*

come on its got so much torque he can tow a trailer around with a couple of 44 gallon drums of sunoco on board for refills every half hour... :dry:

as for the injectors it turns out they were most likely indy blues... but hey i have already been shot for guessing they were blitz 1000cc (also blue in color) .... them the brakes.

:dry:

If one of my kids ever asks me what an oxymoron is I think I'll use that as an example. :)

haha c'mon kiddies :thumbsup: 6000 with a 18cm is More responsive than 7000 with the 22cm option.....

they were blitz 1000cc (also blue in colour)

ahem...Blitz 1000cc are light green :thumbsup:

a lot more easier to swallow now the injectors are the correct size for the power output.

best of luck with the car at MAS.

In all seriousness Trent, have you driven this car or been for a drive in this car on the street? When it hits boost and makes that 800+hp in 1000rpm, do you actually see into the future? That thing would have to chirp 5th!!

Congrats on the result trent!

Id love to see some footage when it hits the drag strip :mellow:

Ill sit on the roughly fixed amount of drivetrain loss rather than the % theory. This car is a perfect example, i mean im pretty sure that the temp of the gearbox and diff doesnt increase almost 400% when the power does so going from stock maybe 300hp to say about 1100hp.

Back on topic, as someone else asked what ebc was the car running?

It all comes down to the fuel being used, the fuel pressure setting and the air:fuel ratio. It is impossible to make blanket statements like the one above.

Think about it for a minute. What power would those injectors support at 60psi base fuel pressure but running Methanol? How about oxygenated leaded race fuel? PULP?

It might be a good general guide to say that 1000cc injectors could support 1000 engine horsepower at 45psi base pressure and 12.5:1 but to make claims about any particular setup's capabilities without knowing the fuel type used, the pressure, the air:fuel's and the injector size is foolhardy at best.

Here we know that it was running 1000cc injectors, I've had a 'stab' that it's running Sunoco MaxNOS (as it's the new hotness;)) but we don't know the fuel pressure the reg was set to or the AFR's tuned to. Let's say 13:1 and 65-70psi should be enough.

Possible but more likely that the 1002hp is a great indication of flywheel horsepower.

The terminal speed on the timeslip (if this car ever makes a full noise pass down the quarter) and the race weight of the car will give a better, more 'real-world' comparison and idea of the power the thing is making.

***EDIT***

I had to laugh at the genius of an engineer above too!

I have highlighted the operative word. I was merely stating what they are capable of. Sure there are other factors involved but that would be my estimate at their maximum capability with all variables taken into account. Perfect A/F ratio, good base pressure etc etc.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
