So few times eh! I thought it had been done more than that:blink:

The stock autobox won't take 900rwhp so it has to be either a manual or a different autobox like the TH400's or whatever they're called.

Back on topic, is there a replacement for the manual box that is easier to source and doesn't demand such a high premium?? i.e. the same type of box fitted to a different make/model??

Any manual box that will comfortably stand drag racing, handle the torque a genuine 900 bhp turbo engine should produce, and not fail will set you back about 15K. Then there's a propshaft, diff, drive shafts and C/V joints (cheaper and prbably a LOT better to put a live axle and spool in it....), clutch et cetera. A proper 900 BHP car is going to cost you 40K plus, easily. The proper big HP Skylines, that do the good times, have cost upwards of 100K , over their development period.

Chris speaks much sense......thats crazy power for the road and no even worth considering in my opinion especially on an auto, and it will drive like an absolute dog, you will need a huge stall, 3500+ and a built transmission which as Chris was saying to do properly wil cost a bomb, and will be like playing russian roulette when launching it, it wont take many at that power level to break it, I was watching a few silly power cars at the pod on sunday and most could'nt put the power down, Dee Ireland in the CRD supra completely shafted something on the launch, not sure what but it looked expensive, could have even been the gearbox, as there was a fair amount of oil on the floor

Kev Huntly did a good run but had a shit your pants moment half way up when the car decided to fish tail at 100 + mph Nice one Kev

I think any car at this level of power needs a lot of attention

The guy mentions he wants a drag supra, nothing about pootling around town or doing the shopping in it.

He didnt mention anything about using it for drag days only either?

in fact he didnt write much at all

the reason i only wrote drag is because thats all i want it for

The majority of high power drag cars in the USA (and therefore the ones that seem to get the best results) run uprated auto boxes.

HTH

Fair enough dude, as CJ said auto box's seem to be the weapon of choice for most big drag supra as well as a high stall and well built tranny (and I dont meet a muscular lady boy!!)

I would like to see a completely gutted car with a more moddest turbo go all out on the drag strip....what turbo setup are you looking at

all depends if your a lazy git i.e like daman ha ha or like to beable to drive your car i.e like me (even if it is an n/a
