11 SEC not at Nationals

Post by Milford Autoelectrical » Wed Oct 30, 2002 7:07 pm

Hi everyone,

Got my car going about 2 weeks b4 the nats, and it was going awesome! I was doing some trial runs but ended badly. The aluminunm torque brace from the diff to the gearbox keeps breaking on hard launches! Its done it twice now! so i thaught best not to embaris myself on the start line infront of 25,000 people.

The good news is the performance is fantastic! While running it in, boosting 8psi with an RPM limit of 6500, ive managed to cut down a new HSV R8 (HA HA HA HA HA HA) and an Evo 4, its all good fun!

Next year, if they dont cancel it!

What kind of HP are you making to break the PPF (Power Plant Frame)?! Do
you have much turbo lag?

Not dyno'd yet and turbo lag is present but not as bad as id expect. the T3/T4 comes in at about 2700RPM so for a big turbo its not too bad.

Talking about insurance,

Whats the best company to be with for insurance ? at the moment my access is
about $1000.00 if there is damage to the roof, or $300.00 if entry by other
means that is with NZI, anyone else had experience with insurance ?

Later
Aaron.

Thats phenomenal times for 8psi, great stuff. Perhaps a torque rod to limit
engine movement on the mounts will help.
