IYKYK. Whether it works ever again is another thing

Never Dyno’d, but must be something round that. Street tuned by myself. Was disappointing night all round but every one was struggling with the track lol. My bro was telling me my launches were garbage 🤣. But it’s a fine line between crawling off the line and just spinning first two gears. Wednesday did a 12.3 @ 123mph and a 2.2 60ft @18psi. Last run was 12.1 @124mph 2.2 60ft @ 20psi. But spun all way in to 3rd. I’ve got the baby gtx so it spoils quick when walking off the line. Stalling above 1.5k not worth it with my tyres lol. it’s done a 11.6@124mph before when tyres were newer and the track wasn’t so bad. But Wednesday was a skate park. Tried to keep it sleeper, still has crossover pipe as well 🙃

Hahaha yeah that was me. I think I was literally behind your race.

Saw you down there. First time I’d been in years. I was the other xr50. Think we can all agree that motorplex is dog sh*t for prepping tracks on WAW nights.

Decided to lap the valves in the turbo. only took a few hours.

Any pics?

Yeah, pretty much. They come with a "bulb" that slides on the shaft of the flapper that you can weld on. That may be a little too large of a gap to not worry about. You may as well get a flapper and take it out to the max while you have it off. Leave a 1mm seat like me. Cost you all of $30-60 depending on where you get it from eBay.

Here's min. I did replace the flapper with a 37 or 38mm of ebay too thou.

They came with a picnic blanket as well... I have 2 sets still in their boxes. dont know why I've held on to them for 11 years :D

The beauty of flex fuel is that if I want more power with out going full e85 can do e40-e60 and still get a decent chunk of kms while the tune sprinkles some more timing over the map :P

Think atm of the top of my head, with an avg speed of 35kph im averaging around 15L/100. When I was doing longer freeway driving with average 40kph closer to 12L/100. And on longer country trips, still the same as stock as it's mostly off boost and cruising instantaneous sits at 7-8 when doing between 100-110. But the thing is, once you mod, you stop caring about fuel consumption. it is going to be one of your lower costs on this journey even if you're paying $2/L for E85 like us over here in WA

I get around 23L/100 on e85 @ ~420kw Anything over 350kw(maybe even lower) you struggle for grip. Even with 275 Bridgestone RE050 and soft rear MCA coilovers setup, I struggle. I dont know what people are considering fast these days (assuming 10s w/ slicks @ 135+mph from the comments above)... But in street trim, 300rwkw should get you a low 12s at 115ish, 400rwkw will be a mid 11 in the 120s. On the street one of these will be hookup better than the other. and unless you regularly drive over 130kph you wont miss the extra power. I drive mine as a daily, have several tune levels. low(15psi) mid(17psi) high(19psi) both in 98 and e85(high 21psi). The one that gets used the most is the low boost 98 tune. Even ramp the boost in slower to keep traction on the street. Having said all that, once you start with more power you'll want even more... til the budget runs out/becomes harder to justify 😄

Just because of your name :P

You swap from the ZF to the 6R80 or the other way? If it's too the 6R80 I thought the 6R80 input shaft was supposed to be stronger? Not that im going to do it. I'm a long way off the power, ~400kw. But just curious. If it does go bang at some stage its something I'd look at. PS this thing is off chops. good work man!

Is this just a matter of switching your ZF TCM to the 6R80 or more to it?
