Yes Joey, drag slips, its the only way to be sure, I'll race you for beer (no more little bloody donuts, bastards).

You will though need to spot me 5.5 seconds though.

I'm guessing you might run a 10.5ish where I might run a 16ish

Come on, my 5 has at most an astounding 80 to 90 killerwasps at the back wheels.

Put It this way, my old RWD boat on old drag radials and 380kw got a 11.008, I'm sure there's a 10.5 in yours.

The box should be fine for the first couple of runs, it might sound a bit like industrial exhaust fan after that though.

In all honesty if you take off easy and don't shift to hard the box should be fine, I believe its the drag radials and big launches on the sticky stip that eats the 1-3 gears.

Ill give you 4.9 seconds then, with a 6 pack of Crownies on the line.

EDIT: First gear?, with your torque the only time you will use first gear is in the lanes before the water box

Righto,

take this as you will, i consider that engine capacity, cams, fuel makes it a "similar" comparison

So same dyno

Both set ups have

2.6L

both have standard compression from memory

similar drop in cams

high ethenol content fuel

Both have large sufficient exhaust, ignition and fuel setups

Mine is the orange/red line

-5 line is black

To be fair, that -5 result im comparing against wasnt the most responsive run out of them all. But that particular result did flatten out alot after 5200rpm and my curve was still fatter

I dont know if i want to test the waters.. maybe when i get a stronger box.

I would have just got the thing on the road and i dont feel like spending more $$$ to keep driving it haha

Oh yup similar looking results to what I got just bait higher because of the ethanol.

I might stick with the -5's until i upgrade my injectors/gearbox and then go with a 8374 1.05 A/R as my bottom end has been built to withstand hell.

and I hear you about popping the standard box. Why I haven't run mine yet.

It's interesting to note that there is very minimal change in power between E45 and E85 on our boost levels. It's only an extra safety margin..

I'll be running 50/50 as a more common everyday mix

Lol, lies, I see lies :P

You can't really compair single v twin cause to many veriables like intake and dump pipes etc, dump pipes are one of the biggest issues with turbos and it's hard to get wrong on a single, especially if you have a external gate, but very very easy to get wrong on factory mount twins

Even cam timing makes a difference

So it really comes down to personal preference and what you want from your car

Haha, maybe, doubtful but maybe, but twins will get you there quicker :P

Take matty from WA's experience. Twin -5's on a 3.0 and went to a 8374/0.92 internally gate single. The EFR was back to peak boost levels in a 1/3rd of the time the twins took (Motec logs), made more power everywhere also.

However, it would be interesting to compare something like the 8374 EFR to say twin 6258 EFR's.

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
