T04Z is regarded as the biggest you can go before you need to upgrade mountains of crap Matt.

yea I know hence I dont see it coming on at 3,500rpm to make 760hp...despite this I wouldnt be suprised if it is making 800hp that its broken at least a gearbox/tailshaft or something....thats all im enquiring about.

if anyone acts like a tool we will throw them out, its just about having a good time.

Does that include if you want to drift around the track.......... sorry but that is what I'd want to do, going fast has lost its sparkle, its all about the drift for me now.

Hope you all have a fun time though :).

Club members could compare kw @ teh wheel though before they hit the track, the day before this is a club dyno day :)

780hp at 3,500rpm?....is the car even on boost at this rev range I imagined a T04Z coming on pretty late? I take it you dont drive this car around on the street all the time, 25psi of boost would require quite a substantial amount of fuel support and hence im sure the bill would be huge. Im also assuming you are talking about a HKS T04Z? May I ask how your going on gearbox's/tailshafts/diff's etc?

Broken a couple of gearboxes and not standard ones too ,the diff and tail shaft has been fine ...knock on wood ..lol with te to4z which garrett made for hks and hks developt more on it ,its only a t4 turbo and a good one which produces very well horsepower at early reves ,i proberly confused you ,i mean boost comes on at 3500 reves ,which is a good set up for over all racing and also depends on how your motor is set up too ,..i know of some people it comes on about 4000 plus ..

with my motor i could have bigger turbo producing up to a thousand horspower but bloody useless for track set up when boost comes on 5500 reves plus, no good for cornering and uncontrolable ..good for drag set up ,only if you got nos to stop turbo lag and a good ems to run it ..plus the fuel bill is not too bad unless you put yah foot down and it s on 25 p at all times due thats how motech is set up or tuned ,and motech dont have electronic boost controller it has everything else but that ,..i dont know why ,its ment to be the best ,but its worked real well 4 me and keeps the car running very well ,if you can find a good tuner that is .who knows motech ,as not many do .

    • So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things. Preparing some projects for this winter, as I'm taking 13 weeks off very soon for parental leave. Have my second kid on the way and he's due any week now. I'll need something to do while he's sleeping. I also usually take the car off the road in about a month and a half, until sometime around the end of March.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.   
    • Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?
    • Bit of a dump of ones I saw on my trip. I also have a heap from daikoko but that’s technically not  on the street 
    • i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.  
    • Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
