What is the weight of the car when you go to the track?

Cheers

the last time we raced it weighed 1474kg...without the 106kg driver...so a 398KW GTR to go 10.3 sec's weighing 1580kg with a synchro box is a fair achievement.

we have stripped some weight out of it since so it will be interesting to put it on the scales at the track next week.

unfortunately i still weigh over 100kg

^Hahaha

What does twoogle mean anyway?

it means nothing...

our number plate reads TWO.06L...meaning two point six litre.

some people when making up custom plates use a 6 as a G

my mate one day was looking at the plate and asked us "what does twoogl mean"?

we had a laugh and explained to him that it meant 2.6litre...and that the 6 was not meant to be a G but actually a 6...

he said nah stuff it im now gonna call it "twoogle"

this name stuck and has grown to even been included in the drag records lists and in magazine articles

its weird how some nicknames evolve and stick

wow. thats a very impresive power and torque figure. how does it drive off boost? much loss dow low compared with the old setup?

oh pretty please can you post up a comparison dyno graph of your old setup and this one?

ps. after i find a gearbox (smashed inputrshaft)its valvetrain im doing next. 1.5bar and 8.3k on stock springs isnt probably very smart of me...

yeah max torque is @ 4500rpm but look at the overall torque spread from 4000-9500 its unbelieveable on the road.

Stace is good and the baby should be here in the next few weeks

Dave a comparison graph will be available next week.

Holy shit. (Says a big single owner)

Paul, you are nuts :P

What gearbox have you got in there?

hehe she's pretty mad (you wont see a torque curve like that with your big single)

ive love to give you a drive steve but that would be unfair to your underwear...lol

ill bite haha

not a lot in it here

awesome work...but to be fair...i was just giving steve a little niggle

wait till mines tuned and running some decent boost and then ill go the dyno "pepsi challenge" with ya.

what is your set-up?

main point that was being made in the 1st post was that so many people think to make this sort of power, a big single turbo is the answer...and its just not so. Even low-mount twins can deliver if set-up correctly.
