GRRRRRrrrrrrrr..... :rofl:

You'll keep.

Adrian

lol... i wont go near the track as ppl keep telling me ill run 11s, but i know for a fact ill be lucky to crack a low 13s...say hello to the space cadet behind the wheel and pedals :(

Im trying to get a 2 stage rev limiter for my car, so i can cheat when trying to get the thing to launch properly...and yeh i have read the thoughts of others on this, but its my car, my coin, and the engineering of getting something like this set up and working well appeals to me more then the pedal work involved....

So what was that about the launch controller you were using?

Matt,

 

How are your gear changes now?  

 

I remember you saying a while back (216rwkw) that you grannyshift a little. :(

Hmmm... I probably shift a little more like a mid to late 40yr old mum now, certainly not MILF quality either :rofl:

But seriously, I still shift a tad softly. Any drag meet that I get to 'drive' the car home from is a good one!

At $1500 a pop I wouldn't be driving mine like I hate it either. ;)

My poor ol RB20t gearbox has been on its last legs for quite some time now, its just waiting for something to push it over the edge.

I have just the thing :)

just like I'm "assuming" I can do better... You're "assuming" I can't.

Listen matey, I've done what I talk about. Have you? Let your timeslips do the talking.

Roy, IanH uses the Power FC Pro in his GTT. It has launch control built in. You can hold the pedal flat and it will only rev to the pre-set level.

Adrian

your drag strip is concrete? hmm..

hard to tell from the vids.. just bouncing off the rev limiter probably chokes the car a bit after launch wouldn't it?

I think one launch in your vid was a low 2.x time which is not too bad.. should be able to get you a mid-13 from what i see from the SAU list if everything else is right.

What types of modifications dso you have on your car? Doesn't really seem to be taking off that quickly after the launch really, i think the mid-range is letting you down. What sort of tune has it had? do u have a dyno sheet? Maybe its just building too much power up top-end and not enough down low-mid end?

I wouldn't worry about trying to perfect the car at this point in time.

The driver needs the work.

I don't mean that in a derogitory (don't knock the spelling) way but until he's running consistent times at the peak of the current set up which may be @ 13.5, then what has he achieved.

    • 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
