Just realised they ran the bimmer in 3rd. Why not 4th? Its a 5 speed and has tiptronic so it would hold gears....

Because auto cars have a 1:1 ratio in 3rd gear.. As opposed to manual cars in 4th.

5-speed automatic ZF 5 HP 24 EH.

Ratios ( r : 1):

Ratio : 1

Top Speed @ 6,000 RPM

1st 3.57 39 MPH

2nd 2.20 63 MPH

3rd 1.51 92 MPH

4th 1.00 139 MPH

5th 0.83 155 MPH @ 5,500 RPM*

The manual is a 6 speed, so 5th is required for 1:1.

Dyno is about right with 500+rwhp in a 10sec car.

Sounds like the guys at Autoworx did a good job.

So we come to the conclusion Hypers n Advans dynos are out 150+ hp :( , what MPH should we be running if the 500 hp is right ???

134/137MPH. Jeffs 480rwhp 10.4 was at 136mph. Most 10sec V8s I do are from 450 to 500rwhp running GTR weight.

Really big HP Turbo cars are often slower because you need large Turbos etc giving way to much Lag needing dedicated Gearbox's etc.

Your GTR running 10s and also working well on a race track would be a very smart 500rwhp (Board power curve) with 2 people in the car.

Huge topend power does not make for a fast car, Fat Power / Torque curves do.

Well there you go, as you can see I didn't research my repsonse in terms of your car :(

I chose 3rd because I wanted a roller speed between 120 and 180km/hr, in accordance with standard shoot-out proceedure. There's more to it than gearbox ratio - it's overall final drive that matters.

The GTR of the Bart only made 518hp because it was blowing the tyres off. Big deal. I ran the car in 4WD first up and it made good numbers at all 4. The dyno wasnt down. The car wasnt down. 540 or whatever it made at all corners is damn respectable, and backs up the time slips. The low figure in RWD was an issue of coupling one to the other. Do we have any other AWD dyno figures to compare it to?

They probably thought it had 1:1 in 3rd, I doubt they dyno many Beemers.

Levi, fantastic pics mate! I'll have to have a chat with you next time, grab a few tips off you! Can I grab a higher resolution picture of my car?

No problem, always happy to talk cameras.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
