Gtx3071 Install

It will snap the input shaft in the gearbox. No good for the street either.

yeah I was kiddin man....

I was definitely reeling the other cars in but they had me by 3 car lengths out of the hole.

Just tossing up between the .82 and the .63 rear housings as every other way around the problem involves making the car less drivable on the street. (other than going 3.5L ) I really don't want to go to a 4k stall converter.

You might get away with a 0.63 using pineapple juice. It would be waaay more lively and it seems that you have maxed out the compressor anyway.

Even if you drop a few kw at the top end it would be a much faster car all around.

I ended up with a 13.9 but was going 141.3kph by 1/8th mile after the 2.8 second 60 foot. Only one timeslip as the tards lost the first one somehow. Thats .4sec worse than the last run, back on the highflow with 250kw, speed cut and throttle restriction. Power doesn't make it quicker unless you can launch it unfortunately.

First run was only a couple of hundredths quicker IIRC.

.82 would be perfect IMO

Whilst I agree with Wolverine, I reckon the .63 would make it a bit too much on the road.

It's a very, very well behaved (and quick) road car as is, it'd be a shame to see those manners disappear in the name of a good 1/4 mile time.

I am getting prices as we speak, Tial housings are bloody expensive but I only need the housing, not the clamps. Price with clamps is $670 delivered.

There are Tial knockoff .82 rears on ebay for $289 delivered, perhaps I should get another one of them seeing as I modified the one I already bought. The quality is great.

The safe option is the 0.82 but I think you could get away with a 0.63 and not find it a choke point with that compressor using E85.

At that price for the Tial knockoffs it is a shame you don't have an easy peasy high mount manifold with V-bands so you could swap the housings quickly.

[scotty nm35]

It would need a tune anyway and its not that had to drop the turbo now, 1 hour out, one hour back in.

I might try the .82 first and go the Tial if it still wont build boost at stall.

[scotty nm35]

Price is in for the Tial rear, $505 for just the housing to my door.

Hopefully there is someone looking for the 1.06 and I can get rid of it.

[ARTZ]

i thought you had a stainless tial copy already...

I like the vid, commy showing off and only pulls a 13.6..

Scott sits there silently, then smoothly almost takes him..

[scotty nm35]

I cut it up to modify it but I need another turbo to jig it up, then the exhaust/wastegate would have to be redone. I just want to bolt a rear on this kit for now so I will have to buy another.

If I could take off at good boost he wouldn't have had a chance. Next time...

[ARTZ]

yeah you could see the start was way too slow, but gained hard through 2nd, then 100 vs 111 at the line..

[sky^rkt]

mine took off the same that night . hopefuly we can both get out there again and better out times

[scotty nm35]

Have you done the brake wire cut Marko? That would improve things. Otherwise we can go back once the mods are done to yours.

[sky^rkt]

yeh i did it improved it on one run, when the mods are done im going asap im keen to see the time /mph difference plus i wanna see yours run well to

[scotty nm35]

I was down at Edge tuning again today after sorting out the boost control circuit and fitting the lower temp thermostat. It was also a good chance to change fuels to United e90 as there is one local now but the extra torque put an end to any fun I was expecting.

3rd gear runs saw the torque converter lockup clutch slipping badly, that and we couldn't work out how to get rid the speed cut with the Fcon for 4th to be very useful. It looks like I will have to upgrade the stall converter again and refit the SLD.

As it was, with 4th gear runs to around 5k it was comfortably hitting 300kw at 25psi (flat finally) If I can get the SLD re-installed I may be able to sneak a tune in this weekend.

I'm bloody amazed, as is Cihan that this little 2.5 just keeps taking more...

[wolverine]

If they don't ping and you don't smash the rev limiter most engines are pretty tough. Are you using the 1.06 housing still or is this with the 0.82 (or whatever the new housing came out to be).

[scotty nm35]

Considering the torque output Cihan feels it is doing very well. Not that many engines would be taking the abuse this one has, its done literally 300 dyno power runs and lasted 3 years powered up with over 3 bar of boost at times. I'm quite impressed.

I don't have a choice smashing limiter, it happens all the time due to the stupid auto failing to shift in time. At least pinking is a thing of the past...

Still running the 1.06 Tial mate, looking to crack 350kw this time so I will need it.

[MattR]

what size stall have you got scott?

[scotty nm35]

Its a Dominator custom stall converter, it flares to around 3k when stopped but flares to 4k once boost kicks in (as the revs they stall to is largely torque dependent) The issue is the lockup clutch is too small though, not the stator itself as its a 5 axis billet unit and should be bullet proof.

Not sure yet if I should get another converter made or just cut this one up and get more clutch plates fitted...
