Hey Adrian..

thanks for the advice.

When i slip the clutch, the ceramic combined with the lightened flywheel doesnt make the car too happy...thats why i was dropping it (as best that i could) at about 3k...

Im hoping the extra power the car is putting out will be controlled by the clutch if i slip it out while revving harder..

Hey Cameron - i actually thought my 60' was a bit lame. I would like to get it to a 2.0 flat..

Hey Adrian - Yep thats what im hoping for next time i hit the drags...My tyres are (unfortunately for drags) 18's....but i have 265's on the rear, so i may have a sporting chance...

Thanks SiksII - its great fun !!

i believe alot of it is how you drive your car and the track conditions at the time. my car ran 13.85 @ 101 miles/hr in Darwin of all places. it has similar mods, except i have standard clutch and no suspension mods at that time. Also still have stock intercooler. Like i said above, every 1 is different as to how they drive there car down the 1/4. It was 29 Degree's that night and the track is pretty slippery.

209kW and good tyres should see a high 12 if you can drive.  My car makes less power than that (193kW) and ran a 12.799 @ 105mph.

Yhe i agree with 2rismo. I ran a 13.4 @ 108mph wiht a clutch slipping in 2nd and 3rd gear, couldnt tell if it was clutch or wheelspin in 1st gear:( That was with a 2.4 6-ft time (i cant drive plus slipping clutch) and only around 180-200rwkws tops because if i ran more then 1bar then i had a miss.

So about 200rwkws (tops), slipping clutch and sh1tty 60ft i still ran a 13.4. Isnt the theory if i cut 3/10s of my 60ft then that equates to between 0.4-0.5 seconds thru the traps?!?!?! SO that means i woudl be looking at about a 12.9/13.0, then a clutch that didnt slip and im sure i would have been able to run a 12.8 (approx).

LOL, Splitfires and 1.4bar and i reckon i can give a 12.5 a nudge:)

There is a small but noticeable weight difference here. An R32 with 200 rwkw should run a fast ET than an R33 with 200 ya?

Looking around these forums I would hope to get 13.6 with my power except that then I remembered that I have a 4 door and it's heavier than a 2 door R34. Makes for better balance on the track but there is a little extra weight in it which may be making a difference on the strip.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 2 years later!

      Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum

      The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding

      Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.

      Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
