G6Et Drag

[genx2g]

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 likely
to give up if I launch under boost?

I have the tailshaft done in my G6 and a true trac. 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

stigmata, do you lanch off boost? how much power does your car have?

[BenDoCo]

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.

Hey Genx, the G6 is making 446rwkw. I stalled it up to around 2700 with hand brake and quick spike. Was on boost hard off the line.

[genx2g]

so your input shaft is still intact after such a hard launch? very nice. mine should be ok with 322rwkw

[Stigmata]

Would think so bud. There seems to be some variance in when they snap. Def get your tailshaft upgraded though!!

[Vevapower]

Very Very Very unlikely that your input shaft will snap at the drags (only every heard of one breaking) so the order of things to break are:-

Tail shaft

Half Shafts

Diff

Input shaft

So Veva, is the fix for the diff the True Trac? Or is there something to do with the crownwheel and pinion?
