That run was an 11.1, not bad for 320awkw huh!

If I crossed the finish line in 4th and not in 3rd on the limiter, I would have cracked a high ten...oh well, I still talk about it 3 years later

130mph is fairly fast for the top of 3rd gear with 4.11 ratios (unless you have some funky long 3rd gear ratio in the box or revving motor fairly hard)

I have the same diff ratio, revving to 8100rpm and was in 4th for a fair while and ran 132.5mph

Also with a 1.5 60ft and 130mph you should be looking at least a 10.5 or quicker (something doesn't add up at all)

Mmm true that, 130mph is ~200km/h which is ~7000rpm in 4th with 4.11 and a GTR Box. Can't tell the exact instruments are probably out a little, but its around that range either way

I know cause i tested it out for N1GTR out of interest for the 1000M thing later in the year.

0.4 isnt too bad, i think the new cars are down under the 0.3s, but the old cars were closer to 1, i think i remember watching on top gear they claimed the veyron required 250hp to get to 150mph and an extra 750hp to get the extra 100mph, id say you would be surprised how much power is required to overcome wind resistance at 130mph

All the speedos I've looked at are out by up to 10% at those speeds, wouldn't be suprised if the tacho was also out, always over reading.

that thing is a light switch... must be fun though

a ute with 400rwkw... umm better buy shares in a tyre company!... might want to invest in Bonds as well... free lifetime supply of underwear

It's heaps of fun, had powercruise on saturday, the car went perfect, had the best day out at the track.

Going to run it on Wed night at willowbank and go for a mid 10, then get the boot from the officials!

It has nothing to do with the fact it is turbo or v8, the reason they have different speeds is turbo cars (skylines etc) have much better drag coefficients than V8s from the 70s, they are also usually quite a bit lighter. It has absolutely nothing to do with the engine, power is power, it won't go faster just because it is a turbo :P

yeah i know, but i have been a member of the ford community for a long time and this is common knowledge. and its not any v8, only ford 8 vs ford 6. i dont know about other makes. the turb is lighter than the 8 im pretty sure aswell.

Here is the dyno graph from Aaron's R32 GTST.

Noel's has still gotta go back to the guy who did his exhaust to fix the dump and we also think his gate is a bit ordinary so it is making it a tiny bit lazier than this one. The specs on this one are:

R32 GTST

RB25/30

Standard hydraulic cylinder head with Pon Cams

No VCT connected

GT3788R 0.89A/R

HKS 800cc injectors

Microguess LT10

Blitz ID3 EBC

Just Jap 100mm intercooler

Full 4 inch exhaust with screamer

You can see it makes 10psi by about 95kms. If we had VCT on it would be making 1bar before then. Noel has much better specced camshafts for this turbo also so when we held the gate shut, it was actually making 6psi at around 2800 and 1bar at around 3500-3600

I should have Noel's new one once we get his small issues sorted out

Standard box, nismo diff which may have been a different ratio (not sure), the drag radials are much higher profile though which would also contribute to the ET

Why didn't you have the VCT on? It is also ready a lovely graph but it would look even better again with it on!

VCT isn't hooked up on this engine. Has the solenoid but no exterior oil feed. Budget build I did for someone about 3 years ago

And yes, agreed, VCT would be awesome.

So are you guys saying that weight has no effect on your trap speed? cos' an FG would have to be at least 300kg's heavier than a GTR

EDIT make that 200-250kg's

Yeah that's true but the car in question supposedly has over 1200hp at the wheels

with 1200hp atw and just semi slicks, there is no way the mph can reflect the hp in this case. obviously there is a traction problem. you never know how much power u are missing out on until u go 4 a drive in an awd car. trust me i know !!!! thats why gtr's are so fast. even if that ford is makin only 800whp, 135mph is still low. twoogle ran 139mph and 9.95 with 500kw. all bout traction.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
