Project Manual Typhoon 9 Sec

sososo good, I just want 1

I dont even think slicks will help your cause for traction now

That is 3rd Pat (standard diff gears) 4th isn't very different depending on the circumstances..

Wingnut that is Pump fuel and 24-25psi, I can run up to 27psi however it would be pointless right? And remember I can always turn down the boost right? And correct because we can...

Now before even seeing what it looks like at full throttle on a 20inch tire@Off the clock rpm what do you guys reckon it's like at 33psi and racefuel? One Word Monstrous

Hmmm I think I would have had u with your old set up.

But now with your new turbo I will have to go all fast n furious on your arse n get nos plus nos

[Wingnut]

Serious question though, with such little traction how quick can this car really be without slicks? Do you get any sensation of acceleration at all or is it turning the tyres as soon as you hit boost...

I know street racing is the last thing in mind when owning something like this, just curious.

[R-SPEC]

Wingnut you seem care way too much about anything over 300rwkw. Once you pop you can't stop.

CAN SOMEONE GIVE THIS BLOKE A RIDE IN SOMETHING OVER 400RWKW PLEASE!!! Only then will you realise why they do it

[SPIKO]

You are spot on the money regarding street racing.... It is not a sport that even remotely interest's me.

Traction and the sense of acceleration is achieved through throttle control, Boost levels & knowledge of the engines sweet spots to put it simply, at this power level there is no such thing as full controled throttle prior to 5th gear... Just because there is alot there doesn't mean you have to use it unwisely, it requires alot of respect.

The most impressive thing about the car is that it will out last your driving abilities always, there is no boredom your never 100% confident or in control and your always learning.

Very well put, answered my question perfectly thanks mate.

You assume I havent been in high powered cars.. 800hp NA SLR was probably the most insane thig I have been in on the street as shotgun but NA are a much different beast.

But that car is dead now luckily not the driver. What you say about learning a car is very true lets hope this one doesnt bore you to soon ))

Actually dont stop as tyou give us small fries someone to live through lol

Wow, looks like I come for a look a few pages too late Spiro!!

First off, I have to say a big thankyou to you Spiro, for your ongoing support, friendship, and the ongoing drive to further excell and develop an already outstanding vihicle into the monster that it is, it has and always will be a pleasure and an honour to have worked with you on the project and I thankyou for your faith and trust in our workmanship and ability in delivering your dream:msm:

As far as the barometric pressure everyone seems to eager to point out, I have questioned this previously when tuning another car we have done. I'm not sure if its the position of the sensor that is used for weather feedback vs where we are in the dyno room, but as Jamie has said, the baro on the logger registers the same as that of the dyno. Unless someone would like to argue that both the weather station on the dyno AND the logger are both incorrect by the exact same amount(ie impossible imo), then I think we can put to rest questioning the situation.

Considering we picked up 40rwhp with 1 psi of boost with that last run, I am quite confident that 30psi of wastegate springs, 32-34psi of boost, and a few dyno pulls, that even at 0% correction we could eclipse 1100rwhp, such is the aggresiveness of that GTX turbo, I was simply dumbfounded. I'm sure we will see next weekend though, Elites dyno is known to be a slightly lower reading dyno than most, so if we can eclipse the 1000rwhp barrier, I will be happy

Hope to see you all there and look forward to seeing how these pump fuel guys go
