Space ships are slow.

 

Ill wear my bikini also..I got a shitbox awd its slow

 

Wow... slow day in here..

 

How much more boost are you running over stock? For a car that makes what, 420-450 flywheel stock, to gain over 100hp at the wheel on just a tune and straight pipes is pretty impressive. If you are making quite a bit more boost then it would make more sense.

There are quite a few fast cars in these parts, some in Roanoke, some in Lynchburg, and some in South Boston.

By the way I bet that Beetle sounds beast with straight pipes

 

I'm running 1.0 BAR.. Sometimes it'll spike to 1.1-1.2 BAR. So Really i'm just running 14.7lbs of boost. Not a whole lot. Stock generally runs 0.8 BAR I think, so thats only like 12lbs of boost.

Stock GT2s and X50 996s (which is the setup I have) have 444hp from the factory. My only difference is an email tune and straight pipes. They generally dyno 370awhp stock, so i've picked up 150awhp+- with just a tune, and exhaust. I hit full boost under 3500rpm.

There's a guy on the forums who dyno'd 525awhp on a mustang dyno with my exact email tune and an aftermarket exhaust, not straight pipes like mine. So I assume i'm above 525awhp. Guys who get an actual dyno tune can make even more.

Most the guys making 700-900whp in these cars do it by just throwing on a set of GT30s or 35Rs (if you want 1100+whp), fueling, and a tune. They run about 19-21lbs of boost I think. Doesn't take must to make big hp in these cars.

With the stock turbos I have, I can send them off for $500 each and have 18G compressor wheels put on. That'd get me in the 650+whp if I did injectors, and a retune. Cheap cheap.

 

That makes since. I didnt realize the stock motor was so efficient. I knew they responded well to mods I just didn't know they responded that well. I picked up just alittle less at 120 rwhp when I went from 12lbs. to 15lbs. but my motor is nowhere near stock and I have 2 more cylinders.

 

So those cars make 900 to 1100 wheel horsepower on stock internal components? I understand doing supporting mods to make the power, but to sustain it is a whole different ball game.

 

He didnt say how long it would make that kind of power

 

ill smoke you all in the sentar

 

Yeah I know what you mean about sustainable power. The stock motors are much like the Supra motors, same with the trannys. The motors will hold 900whp all day long as far as I've been told, and seen. No issues with reliability. If guys are going for 1100 they'll generally built them as a preventative type of thing. From what I've been told, even the guys running 1000whp setups are running pretty much stock trannys with an aftermarket clutch. I've been running my oem clutch for a year now at these power levels and doing clutch dumps, etc., and its just now starting to slip some.
