Start a thread in the NSW area - you will have a better chance :)

Not a lot of -5 GTR's in here because most on an unbuilt 2.6 end up around 360/380kw

The more I see these e85 results the more I need to get my ass into gear.

Are u using pump e85?

Pump e85, just as good as any v8 super brew... been there tested all that jazz.

To put an end to all the hub dyno bullshit we run our dyno on the latest SAE correction some other operators run the older US spec din figures which inflates power.

On two occasions within 3rwkw of the mainline @ drdrifts (same day) and on average a little less than the racepace dyno (not done back to back but car was suplied with current sheets to compare too)... close to chasers as well.

Do you have a graph by any chance for that?

+1 for proof.

My 26 with -5s had full boost between 3500-4000rpm and it was very nice. Did not feel laggy at all.

Unless by "full boost" you mean 5psi... There is no way, with a 2.6ltr that you'll make 20psi at 3500rpm on PULP. There is not one car in the 2.6ltr dyno thread that comes within 500rpm of that.

Even 4000rpm you are going to struggle on a lot of setups.

My PB 60 footer was 1.5sec and I remember when it hooked up that I actually lost grip of the steering wheel. It really got me by surprise as I didn't expect those G's.

I always had a higher respect for bikes as you get into 1:1 power to weight ratio hence this was a friendly wake up call for me at the time.

I had the same power level as you and this is capable of a 10.8 pass, proof is in the pudding :)

The hi octane r32gtr ran a 9.7 on circuit slicks i think haha and that had 440kw from what I remember? It isn't even a purpose built drag race, pure circuit car :)

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
