Posted 02/11/12 10:06 PM Author Share Posted 02/11/12 10:06 PM (edited) Jet don't worry mate, if I ran a 10.99 on the nose I would be the first one laughing for sure, I'd expect to cop it from you too. I made that comment in relation to having a goal for the car and myself of running faster than that GTX! :sungum:Dragging the PWR kicking and screaming up the 1/4 lolYou are correct about the intercooler. I wonder too what the pressure drop across the core is. What the turbo is pushing out vs what the engine is actually getting must be 2 different things. When I presented the car to Blue Power back in Feb this year to have all mods done I had the PWR with me already, the boys basically shook their collective heads saying it will hold the car back...Prophetic words I think.New intercooler and valve springs are on the menu combine that with with the new auto being built for the car and it is 'hopefully' a recipe for a very quick 10 sec pass Cheers Bonjaz! A heap of credit has to go to the track preperation mate. I am by no stretch of the imagination a good driver down the 1/4 mile. It's only the 4th time going to the drags. You'll be heading for a 10 sec pass too mate! I just cannot believe how many 10 sec capable cars are getting around. It's just madness! Love it!

Hows your auto into 4th? Where you manual shifting? I found it really hard to manual shift with a tired zf with around 400rwkw, I'd click a gear and by the time it would change it would hit limiter and then change, anything under full load it wasnt very happy..

Posted 03/11/12 04:24 AM Author Share Posted 03/11/12 04:24 AM Thanks keels I had 4 runs last night, first 2 in stock standard Drive, 3rd trying to manually shift (got 3rd instead of 2nd off the line) and then back to drive for the final run and best of the night being the 11.11.Aside from it touching the limiter on the 3/4 change at full throttle it changes every time. Though in saying that in the 2nd run of the night it hit the limiter in Drive on every change from 1st to 4th. Very frustrating run. Is that what you mean?I've heard of ZF cars that 'skip' between 3rd and 4th, almost undecided whether it wants to go to 4th? I haven't had anything like that just yet.Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded like a manual. Wouldn't go into 4th unless I lifted, then once I hit it twice and it went into 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 15/11/12 07:08 AM Author Share Posted 15/11/12 07:08 AM Update time again Good and not as good but will provide for awesome in the next few weeks and months! The not so good to start...The ZF is on the way out. Slipping quite noticabley in 2nd and 3rd on full boost 3500rpm+ or so. It had been especially noticable up the Bolte Bridge here in Melbourne. Has happened probably 3 times and that is enough. There is no upside in breaking the ZF so I'll just nurse it for the next week or so before a spare one I have up my sleeve will be fitted for the interim. It's done 20,000kms at the current power level being used daily with 5 trips to the drags inbetween. Currently even though it's slightly wounded I'm still covering over 600kms a week in it. So as you can see it's hardly terminal right now but it certainly does provide a nice opportunity for an upgrade... so upgrade we will! Now on to the good! The slipping ZF is coming out next week and going off to the ZF specialists at Nizpro! Having had a previous car done there it is a no brainer to have Dave and Simon look after the ZF for this car. From speaking with Dave yesterday it will consist of the equivalent of what is in Glouva's car. Super excited about it As my car is approaching 100,000kms (99,xxx as we speak) and while the transmissions are being swapped out the good lads at Blue Power will service the car and we have a battle plan to go further with the car early in the New Year.It will consist of valve springs, an as yet undecided intercooler upgrade to replace the PWR stepped that is on the car now and the fitment of the Nizpro transmission. This will then culminate in a tune 'upgrade' with a bit more boost early in the tune and a bit more go up top. This round of mods will really give the stunning GTX turbo on the car it's head and not only have the car heading for a very strong 10 sec pass but also plenty of MPH too! Exciting times ahead Jack 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 15/11/12 07:32 AM Author Share Posted 15/11/12 07:32 AM Given that we'll be putting in a ZF that likes smashed boost and all the other good bits on the car we have Marko... I reckon you might be on the money mate. SMASH MY DATE! Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
