We aren't laughing but I'm sure some people will find it hard to believe. They best time anyone here has run on stock tubbies is 11.9 - that was an auto with an uprated stall and a good drag racing driver. With a proper strip, tyres, line lock, burnout etc you could get low 11, maybe even a ten (they can in the states) it just sounds hard to believe. Then again it might not be stock turbo's at all. Have you got the slip? Which track was it at? Gaz.

I'm fascinated now

All good with me - I'll try and arrange a suitable meeting point as there isn't anywhere to stop at that junction. Regards, Gaz.

Thats an interesting air intake setup - filter for each turbo... Nice car BTW.

127mph - I guess between 750-850hp. Thats a great time - whats been done to the car... What strip was it at? Gaz.

Dale/Boneyard's car has it done. It was done by the previous owner though. Gaz.

http://www.l8shop.net are good for cheap non-contract phones. Gaz.

That's Telebeast car off Supra forums. Deffo in my top 5 of Supra's Gaz.

Of course she does Trev, we understand Gaz.

They have proper drag strips too, in every state! We on the other hand don't have any - only Pod when they bother prepping it. Regards, Gaz.

No worries Nic, I was only messing with ya IIRC we use DIN and our American friends use SAE. This sums it up nicely: "Ideally, every dyno pull would be done under identical atmospheric conditions. This is seldom the case, so a power correction factor (CF) is applied to a measured power reading to compensate for changes in barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity. The power CF helps make it possible to compare dyno runs performed at different locations and under different atmospheric conditions, but it is not 100% accurate. The most common correction factors used are Standard, SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), and DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm). Less common are EEC, JIS, and Uncorrected. SAE uses less favorable atmospheric conditions than Standard or DIN, and it is the most frequently used for rear wheel testing. Lower correction factors also tend to be more accurate. It is important to remember however that a CF is only intended to compensate for small atmospheric differences and doesn’t correct for other factors, such as engine and oil temperatures." Gaz.

Lovely scientific formula there Nic! Gaz.

Depends how modded the car is. The VVTi timing isn't bad as standard but everything can be improved! In terms of full control the Motec, AEM & I think the HKS in conj. with the Valcon. If you've got the cash and want big power, the part to get is the Valcon system which offers stock like performance round the town and opens to a monster 272 required! A TDI customer car is running over 700hp @ 1.8 on Optimax, with HKS 2835's, Valcon & Fcon Pro V. It makes full boost by 4400rpm which is rather impressive. Arnout is running a AEM on his VVTi, single turbo'd supercharged beast. Theres lots of info/debate on the AEM Power forum for VVTi control and Honda's I-Vtec etc, have a look

If you come upto A69 junction, its about 6/7 miles from A1 Chester-le-street junction, just past the A1 Western Bypass bridge. You can convoy over with us? Gaz.

Are you coming up A69 way Tom...? Gaz.

ECU's electronics you can use the VVTI with: Motec AEM E-manage MAP ECU HKS F-con Pro V (these are just the ones used in the UK/Europe for sure, plenty more I am sure will work) Cam tuning? OK so there isn't the choice as you say but both the HKS Valcon Pro system & Power Enterprise Camcon - both allowing more scope than any off the shelf cam for a non VVTi. Gaz.

Don't mix your words Alex, say what you really mean!

Looking good Paul

Cool. Looking forward to seeing the mods! Gaz.

Let me know and we can arrange something. If theres a few who want to drive down on the Sunday then I'll just do that. Gaz.

For what price...? Gaz.

OK cool. You want to go up in the afternoon, I am sure we can terrorize the locals for a bit! Gaz.

Not book yet but yeah should be Are you working on Saturday? What time do you finish? Gaz.

I think I am going to scream. John, all the fantastic tech info I've seen you comment on and you go and say something like that! Gaz.
