how fast do you expect?

[Rodderz]

I believe during testing early this year (or last, goes to quick now) in the NT using a correvit they got a 13.59...how accurate that was I'm not sure. I'd guess 13.7-13.9 for the mag blokes to get

[Dr Z]

To clarify and expand on my earlier post..

Using ET Calculators on the net with a 3960 lbs weight (including driver) and 361.8 flywheel HP (270 kW flywheel) that assume 17% drivetrain loss, you get an ET of 13.63 seconds.

However, when you plug some modded car numbers into these calculators using the same weight above (APS modded figures used as an example because they are widely known):

* APS Phase I with 300 kW (402 HP) gives ET of 13.16s, which seems about right.

* APS Phase II with 330 kW (442.2) gives ET of 12.75s, whereas, Big Mick, and others, consistently get low to mid 12s.

Since these calculators do not take into account significantly high maximum low-end torque, as evidenced in the APS Phase I (535 Nm) and APS Phase II (603 Nm), then I believe the maximum 550 Nm low-rev range torque of the Typhoon, which has a torque peak MUCH lower than either APS Phase I or Phase II at 2000 RPM, could easily shave a couple of tenths of these ET calculator figures. If this is the case, then my best guess, obviously in ideal launch conditions, is less than 13.5s, thereby consistently obtaining low 13s.

These numbers suggest, that if quarter mile performance is an important criteria, then trading up to a Typhoon could be FAR more expensive than any first, second or even third stage modification upgrade. :holiday:

Safe and happy driving...Dr Z.

For some reason Im think Mid-13's.

PSI's car MAY give a little indication. It has run 13.something STOCK hasnt it? or is it modified? If it's stock, maybe a few typhoon internals floated along the line at FPV?

Lumpy,

my only mod is the hole in the standard airbox, everthing else is STOCK. I personally do not believe that this makes a big difference. My car is running 13.6`s and I think that there would be a lot more std auto T`s out there that would do the same. Rboksic ran a 13.9 in an auto T the other night at WSID with a crap ( no offence ) 60 time.

I am no pro at the strip but if you can nail your 60` times it makes a huge difference.

As for the typhoon internals, who knows ?

Cheers

PSI, as said in another thread. That is awesome time. So basically it gives proof that a standard XR6T can crack the 13's EASILY! Typhoon....who knows???

Cracker of an engine and car, especially if as you unabashedly say,your not a pro down the strip

I am suprised that no one has taken the "pro at the strip" comment out of context.. where is Ken ? :lol:

Oh, I'm here ... but as everyone knows, this is not a "Chit Chat" forum and such piss-taking behaviour could be construed as "hi-jacking" ... and that just won't do, now, will it?

Such constraint Ken !!! That last birthday really did put you over the edge didn't it ol' man ??? :blush:

I for one can't wait to see one in the flesh...and perhaps test drive one.

[Geeseman]

Running a quarter has a lot to do with the skill of the driver in obtaining a good time, which is why you'll see some standard cars do high 13's and some high 14's. Then there is still the power variance of the stock car.

Still the typhoon has LESS power than a stock car with a unichip. Apart from the bodykit, rods and intercooler, it IMO is not good value for money. It's probably an effort on FPV to cash in on the success of the T and no doubt will sell for around $59K mark. You could get a stock T with leather and a phase 3 kit for that.

Oh and as for torque, it all depends on the tuner. You could bring the boost on hard early for 700Nm on a phase II and even over 600 in a phase 1. My stage 1 mod back in march did that and it was tuned by APS (conservative compared to some).
