Guys,

For the people at the December club dinner will remember that I have ordered a FPV BF Typhoon, well I got it today.

For the people who do not know this car, it is a 270kw, 6 speed ZF Auto and HUGE brembo brakes.

Stock its good for a 13.2 1/4 and is one hell of a drive.

The build quality is much better than my previous XR6Turbo, so overall I am estatic with the new car.

Here are some pics.

The car is 1800kg wet.

I have owned 22 manuals and 2 autos.

I could have got a manual, but the 6sp ZF Auto is a unbelievable gearbox. It is like no other auto I have ever driven. My XR6T was a manual and while it was fun, it did not suite the Turbo motor as it dumped boost each gearchange, where the auto just keeps pulling all the way.

As for the 13.2, there have been several stock BF F6's that have run this time with everything totally stock. Once the motor free's up they may be good for a flat 13, if you stall it up. I also think it would break into the 12's with drag radials.

I do not know why Wheels and Motor cannot get good times, but it may have to do with the fact they tested it on a 40deg c day and as we all know turbos do not like hot days.

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
