On the other hand though if you don't have boost control in lower gears it will just fry tyres like everything elsedude, ffs invest in some better tyres!!!sticky tyres last longer coz you dont spin them up everywhere you go...

Sorry but we don't all drive on VHT prepped roads groper!4th gear and up maybe, but I can tell you with that sort of power and talk the Flacon chassis won't do it. Even Brians Auto will spin MT's in second at WSID, and that surface is a shedload stikier than our normal roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runs 10's with M/T's and absolutely screams on boost. The guy works for High Performance Imports magazine, Paul I think his name is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6BOOST Gold Donating Members 139 Member For: 16y 10m 22d Gender: Male Posted 13/06/08 01:34 AM Share Posted 13/06/08 01:34 AM On 2 notes, I know paul from HPI/Zoom, and have just finished a manifold for his new turbo setup for the SR, which is a far change from the T88, a baby GT3037S HKS turbo:) He's about to start doing circuit sprints with the car, so should be interesting!!On the low rpm boost side of things, there is nothing stopping people getting an Eboost 2, and its a set and forget item, hide it if your really don't want a bog boost gauge stickin out. If everyone can afford 440rwkw in a BA onwards vehicle, you can afford $600-$700 for an eboost 2. While I appreciate that mor elag would help the wheelspin problem, I personally would prefer the most responsive setup possible and as much power as the tyres can handle in every gear, a TO4Z equipped car would walk a few car lengths on a bigger turbo'd car on the street, and chances are, the bigger turbo wouldn't be packing more than the TO4Z when you get you 3rd and 440rwkw, so its not likt it would pull it in either. Who know's, I'll let you all know in the next few months when I get my atomic engine in and fit it all up how t works in practice rather than theory:o)6BOOST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
