When I've raced equal powered autos it is even till the gear change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what kW would a manual need? What % difference in power to accomplish the same thing then how much dif. In % of driveline losses would there be between manual and auto..?Both being a 6 speed in this case. Edited 03/03/14 05:06 AM by Kroozin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went back with 360kw and could only manage 115mph average topping 116 withh similar 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Nizpro forum was gone (perhaps forever), but this article (dated 22 Jul 2011) says it would be back up and running within 2 months lol... .should have been 2 weeks That's probably the car. Nizpro probably have further details as it's their BF drag car.. wow. Judging by the video linked there (stating that was definitely the same night as the BF got the 10.7, and it being Glouva's small turbo record at the time), the video being uploaded on Monday 23rd May 2011 meant that this record was most likely obtained on the previously past Friday, which was 20th May 2011.I searched FullBoost's youtube channel in a search for this date and to see if I could spot a Nizpro BF. I found no video's dated 20th May 2011, but found two on 21st May (must have been a Saturday meet), no BF's in that video.Looking through calder park's website, this gallery -> http://www.calderpark.com.au/media/photos/legal-off-street-drag-meet-hsv-day-saturday-may-21-2011.aspx, indicates that Steve's car was not at Calder that day/night... So the previous night before that was 6th May 2011 (at Calder), checked FullBoost's youtube channel for this date, found this video -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDF0mkygSPQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=63... it's definitely the car! YES! success... hahaha10.738 @ 144.15 MPH - Manual BF F6 Typhoon R-Spec, Piloted by Dave @ Nizpro - no idea on how much power it made at the time, though. Thanks for the "lead", gaz.EDIT: Just finished watching the video and it does another run at the end of that video - 11.117 @ 143.63 MPH... must be making some serious power there to be running into the 143's... (big revs, as it looks like it crosses the line both times in 4th gear). Edited 07/03/14 04:29 AM by k31th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
