Generally in a good combo the torque figure is consistant with the power output. That doesnt mean to say that a car with stock suspension and 205/65/15s is going to beat the same car with 90/10s and runners in the front, and 30/70s with 255/65/15s in the ass. Torque is only the pulling power, if you cant put it all to the ground youve already lost. Other than that you seem on the ball.

PS: If you got a car that can spread out the power onto the track with perfectly setup suspension the driver doesnt need to feather on loss of traction and he doesnt need to hook it from left to right to keep it in a straight line, and the driver also doesnt need to have a 400 RT considering all street application isnt simultaneus launch, and most faster cars still run tails up and dial-in/break out etc.

good day, or night, which ever it is while anybody reads this

Trance, nice 31, i have owned 3 in the past, i Love 'em!

3" with custom dump for 700? I already had 3" dump, and I wanted rest of the system 3" with hi-flow cat... cheapest i could find was 750 for that, so i went with it.
Good thread, will help alot of us out

hehe your appreciation should be directed to GTR R31, he owns this 31. Mine is a S3 Ti as well but not as complete as Dave's

flwlss, maybe gtr injectors as a cheaper alternative to the ones you mentioned? they've been proven to run well with high horsepower cars...

[DONT ASK]

Yeah, i know gtr r31, nice 31, one of the best 4 doors around IMO. U ever see the green 2 door??

[trance]

yeh i saw it at portarlington for new years *snickers* o' what a night... doo do do doo do do

[FLWLSS]

666god - GTR injectors are ok but a little to small.

[DONT ASK]

Mad, i used 2 own it, man i loved that thing, miss it heaps

rwkw means **** all as to what a car will run down the track, rwkw is just the cars maximum power output on a dyno. and also my last car had 200rwkw and pulled a 12.1@111mph with traction loss, full interior, and all calais options. like i said its all in the setup the car has running, how fast it gets to this MPH not how much power the car can over all make.

Just look at Eddie Tassone's car.. 1500hp, does 8.1sec

Should do much better than that given that kind of hp, but traction is a problem... where as cars like Pannic running 550 - 600rwkw manage 8's with a much smaller power output...

That is what FLWLSS is saying, its about how efficently your car can produce its peak power and also about how the car is set up Pannic being setup perfectly for strip use, where as tassone's car is mainly set up to be straped to a dyno.... its not about its overall power rating...

on another note, A local exhaust place down the road from me called "hannam st mufflers" quoted me $500 for a 3inch turbo back mandrel bent mild steel exhaust, this was retaining my cat, but modifying it for 3in pipe (i know thats dodgey, but it works and for $500.. whos complaining?)

I dont intend to run mufflers in my exhaust. I don't see the need.. a VL Turbo isn't exactly a loud car...

[FLWLSS]

Use dont have to take my list and throw everything in ive written down this is just a list to give use an example as to what you need and prices, from there you can build your own combo, im just recommending you a list on a cheap way to get some quick times and a descent setup that should last and produce what you are after.

what intank pump is recommended if i was to use an 044 with a surge tank? just a new standard one?

[Torcida]

i use aftermarket intank pump with 044 pump. i still need a surge tank and a 2nd 044 pump to finish my fuel system.

[304OVQ]

any one used this guide and turned a stoker into a 11 sec for $4000 or less?.... is it worth buying a 6k stocker and spending 4k on this gear can umake a 11 sec VL for 10k????

[Raptor]

good post

[FLWLSS]

304OVQ <--- not if it has a **** motor, and a non turbo motor in it.

Yes standard intank pump can be used and has been to run many low 10 second vls

PLATNUM : what do u think ur driving? a top fuel dragster?

hahah 2 044s??? wtf???
id say hes chequebook racing

[LTHLRB]

how much did this whole setup set u back? Im interested in doing the same setup to my vlct when i get it. But whont be a transbrake auto

[LAGWAGN]

thanks guys

[Torcida]

i dont know but some Vls use 2 fuel pumps, im 1 of them. FLWLSS im planning to run low 10 soon, but i cant boost my car more than 13 psi without a surge tank and a fuelpump.

[LAGWAGN]

what about fuel lines? if i got an 044, new intank pump, surge tank and malpassi should i upgrade the fuel lines??

Id hate to put new fuel lines in! But I was looking at getting a 044 and im pretty sure that u do need bigger lines!

2 x 044's LMAO what a waste of coin these pumps are designed to flow HEAPS.

[FLWLSS]

if u have aftermarket ecu and bigger injectors, dont bother with a malpassi.

you dont need bigger lines
