Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Marko R1]

I agree, turn down the wick mate and enjoy...besides, your car is stupidly or cn I say dangerously powerful

slap stocker box in

adjust wastegates to 17pis

enjoy for a long time without issues

will save you 7k

downside is less blokes on here humping your leg due to awesome output

[zebra]

DO NO SUCH THING PAUL!

These guize are just jealous

and besides you love the leg humping

It's at 25 psi man. Hardly "screwing its brains out" and realistically I haven't run over 22 psi at all which is less than what most people run on -5's. if I turn it down I may aswell drop back a turbo size. There are associated costs with doing that too.

[Aggroman]

may the sequential be with you... always

[Piggaz]

I buy and install but you pay for ongoing costs and pull in and out everytime it needs to be fixed?

[SS8_Gohan]

sorry to hear bout the box

interesting though, with E85 and new turbo tech, starting to really push the boundaries of what street cars would normally have to contend with. Maybe you'll create a market for a street-able bullet proof gearbox option - but you've unwittingly created a bit of a "ceiling" for what people might be considering build wise as well... (With respects to gearboxes)

not sure if it's of much help, but i recently found out i have 33 v-spec ratio diffs (like a god damn kinder surprise this car) soooo... i have a getrag and 33 diffs... if you're in melb anytime soon, you're welcome to take it for a drive if you like, see what you think. She might be a bit slow for you, but she goes alright

Torque ratings ain't high enough. Try again lol

Phone them. I bet higher ratings are available.

If you had a high reving 2.6 with less torque, this wouldn't be a problem.

I believe he is in Vic ATM for DECA this weekend, what revs does it sit on at 110

go on Paulie get the OS88, you know deep down you want it, and then I can take it for a drive and see if I want one

What timing! I'm actually in Melbourne right now! Thanks for the offer Dan. Flick me your number so we can organise something. That would be fantastic. I've always wanted to launch a Nur spec from 10,000 RPM

[r33_racer]

reduce the grip...less load on box! Problem solved!

[Marko R1]

What a great clip.

that thing is an animal!

Is it just me or does the gear changing sound slow for a sequential box? I don't know much about them so maybe there is a setting for gear change delay.

may the sequential be with you... always

[NYTSKY]

He is off the throttle between gear changes.

[Aggroman]

its still damn quick but its a helical cut set not straight so that means no holding it flat and shifting..

I think this might be an os88 box

[NYTSKY]

You can still flat shift with a helical box as long as it has dog gears and the load is off between changes or if sequential a strain gauge on the gear stick.

[Piggaz]

If you had a high reving 2.6 with less torque, this wouldn't be a problem.

You're right as I wouldn't own the car.

[turboedsloth]

Don't know if this would help as cheap alternative for the time being
