I have done an 11.94 at 115mph with 260KW ATW. Stock tranny with shift kit and stock turbo's, Daniel has similar times and power. Big power doesn't necessarily mean a quick car down the track.



Amen Jeff :-) My car made 258rwkw @ 17.5psi boost on stock turbos and fuel system and ran a best of 11.89 @ 114.9mph with a highest mph of 115.2mph ( on an 11.91 run ) , running 18.5psi on pump gas .

DOnt be fooled into thinking your gearbox will survive... IT WONT! Get a shift kit as a minimum! Why spend another $1500-$2000 on a turbo and not $425 on a shift kit?

You realise your auto will cost about $1800-$2800 to get rebuilt once you kill it yeah? Shift kit is cheap insurance... Plus it will help you mph on the track, as there is less time lost on gearchanges !

Go the 3076r .86 rear housing.

OR

BUy someones 2nd hand stock turbo setup,hehe :-) Much cheaper than a garret and get whatg you want ,hehe.

Christian and Jeff I agree with you both dyno figures are a guide for tuning, I was using Jeff's car as an example just to show that 320whp(240rwkw) is not going to be enough to trap 110mph. That My 2 Cents.



At 316whp (236rwkw)I fluked a 110.97mph trap speed. So it is possible.

Anyway, you setup sounds crazy and I hope it all goes well for you.

I'm with you Simba. I've been a member of Soarer Central for only a few months but I do follow a lot of threads and am continually amazed at how generous and knowledgeable some of the guys are.

What's really nice, I think, is that even though some of the questions show an absence of even basic knowledge - and you might wonder why some guys buy cars they are going to struggle to maintain without putting themselves in the hands of expensive and sometimes dodgy workshops - the same members (and the same moderators)continue to help these guys with gentle and patient advice.

Don't want to mention names for fear of missing someone, but to those guys who are always helping others - and the names are there on thread after thread - I take my hat off to you.

As Jeff Fenech said, I luv youse all.

I've done 113.x MPH with 340rwhp on stock turbos too, it's do-able.
