genx2g Member 95 Member For: 11y 1m 5d Posted 05/10/14 10:50 PM Share Posted 05/10/14 10:50 PM Hey guys, I have a g6e turbo with 320rwkw. I took it to the drags and got a best time of 12.2 launching @ 1,500RPM.I was afraid to go any higher incase I twist my tailshaft. im going to get mine upgraded, but I was wondering if theres anything that would be likelyto give up if I launch under boost?

Without the true track and just tailshaft it ran 11.2 @ 127mph. It has since ran a best of 10.71 and best mph of 133 with nothing braking. I would think the ZF input will be the next to go. Good time too bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 7m 19d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 06/10/14 03:02 AM Share Posted 06/10/14 03:02 AM Pit Lane organized a tail shaft upgrade on my car and I did a 12.06 stalling it up to approx 2200 at somewhere about 3psi using just the foot brake. I didn't have a boost gauge at the time but do now and that's about what 2200 spins it up too.319kw and only out of the Pit Lane workshop for a few hours and about 30 years since the last time I went down the quater so was worried about stalling it up any more.Back to your question "anything that would be likely to give up if I launch under boost"one of the other guys that drag all the time will be able to give you a list of what they have had to replace after it broke on the strip.

I stalled it up to around 2700 with hand brake and quick spike. Was on boost hard off the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genx2g Member 95 Member For: 11y 1m 5d Posted 06/10/14 08:50 AM Author Share Posted 06/10/14 08:50 AM so your input shaft is still intact after such a hard launch? very nice. mine should be ok with 322rwkw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stigmata Donating Members 235 Member For: 11y 10m 13d Gender: Male Posted 06/10/14 10:19 AM Share Posted 06/10/14 10:19 AM Would think so bud. There seems to be some variance in when they snap. Def get your tailshaft upgraded though!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
