Black Twin Turbo GTP - Page 3

Don't stress Rod. It's usually the ones that haven't raced on a strip that bag everyone. On the flip side the know it all that pay someone else to setup their car also tend to have a go.

120mph is a fine 1st outing, it shows potential. Quikcorty also had his 1st meet last friday but nett'd various mph readings. He did very well I thought.

SPK-250 · 27-03-2006, 01:32 PM

130 mph is preety "consistent" of a turbo car, eapecially a V8. Sounded like it needs a bigger converter speed. Then you'll see times drop. But it's probably daily driven and i know if my car ran 130 i'd be stoked.

Is this the Black GT featured in April PFM Magazine ??

Laminge · 27-03-2006, 03:11 PM

Thats the one

superpursuit83 · 27-03-2006, 08:09 PM

I thought it was to run on 2 pound boost for now. Might be wrong, makes me drool but. They made it as OEM as possible, hence the statement that it looks stock.

superpursuit83 · 27-03-2006, 08:17 PM

something like 440rwkw at 9 pound boost (I think without checking)

They just have to watch temps at that power level, need a bigger radiator.

All up a nice project

I got this wrong. The standard ecu was kept with a 2 BAR flash

I think it is easily forgotten how hard it is to work under the bonnet of these cars and get a twin turbo happening ... there is next to no room

To do it they went for a remote oil filter, so dump pipe would fit

Ok thanks bud.

philstoj · 27-03-2006, 10:07 PM

That is a great effort for a car that would be pushing 2 tonnes to run a time like that on its first outing, certainly shows great potential.
I dont think it was captanmar's first time driving down the drag strip though, as i remmember he was at calder one night, the last time i was out running my ute. He was driving his AU xr8 SC sedan, and i remember it ran a high 12 @ 110 mph, which i thought was a super effort considering the car was on 17' street rubber and he drove it there.

galaxy xr8 · 27-03-2006, 08:32 PM

Is there any pic's off this beast?.

DABOSS · 28-03-2006, 04:34 PM

From what I've been reading on the Turbo forum this is what some of the guys were saying.

" The TTGT ran last night. It was detuned abit and is getting ready for the LS1 nats. It had a best of 12.1@120mph with a 1.85 60'. This is with a standard stall, which is getting changed next week. The car has another 80-100rwkw's on top of what it was using last night"

I think if this car does have another 80-100rwks then I think a certain somebody needs to lookout and you know who you are BPR, It should be a great race , A clash of the Titains some would say. Powerdyne vs TurboCharged. Ute vs Sedan. black vs Blue ........OOOHHHH S h i t .

You only need to see what's sitting aroud his shop to know he's not finished yet, not by a long shot.

I want to see this TT do well, i'm all for monster power and daily drivaility.

Any chance of a late entry to the LS1 Nats with your beast Leigh?

Not likely mate. I'm heading out tomorrow night to to punt it down the strip for the first time, hopefully nothing breaks

: and hopefully i dont put in into a wall.

It's a completely different car to drive now and i need to learn how to thrash it all over again, i had an encounter with a respectable turbo'd ED last week and it put some 4-5 lengths on me off the line. I babied 1st and tried to hit it in 2nd but had to back off twice and by third gear it was all over in a big hurry. Even on the baby tune it's got big potential but getting that power down to the ground is another story. My main concern for now is not blowing anything and getting a good launch tech down.

I was going to use my spare set which had falken's with about 5o% tread leaft but i got excited on fri night and showed a few holden boys how to lay rubber through the gears

:. So my good rims will go back on and i'll run the dunlop Sp9ooo's out back which are brand new.

Haha...good show...I bet them holden boys were drooling...lol...

You are going to be hard pressed to get a good launch on the dunlops, play with the tyre pressures a little too. Know anyone that has a good set of nitto's you could borrow for a run or two for that night. Looking forward to seeing you bettering your PB.

Cheers

rodderz · 28-03-2006, 09:39 PM

It would be hard Leigh, being a sedan and having plenty of power will mean the CV's will be at risk and street tyres would allow some give, but you need sticky rubber to get some sort of decent grip

You will have fun working it out anyway!

Yea it'd be nice to leave the line with 3ooo-4ooorpm on board but it ain't gonna happen yet.

**ebxr8240** · 28-03-2006, 10:34 PM

Turbo's need load to spool turbo and an auto is way better at that, more consistent too...
I find over revving and hitting rev limiter the biggest part to get around in my head as you try too hard.In my case a manual..Deff need shift light and some ecu tuning to build boost on line...
One doesn't want to damage there ride either...
I guess you can drive fast and be lazzy on engine now???
