That clutch is squealing like metal on metal. Was that the tranny making the "clanking" sound?

Congrats on the set up Tiago. Those are some nice numbers....

To start off with, your set up is INSANE!!! And I want it!

I don't think you'll ever be able to get traction with that thing! You might want to heat up your tires a little more. Heck, in that last video, you were basically done with the burn out before you even got out of the water. Line lock that ****!! LOL, you could probably do a 4th gear burn out with all that torque. Talk about wheel speed.

I think an 18" DR's wont cut it no matter what. Im trying to figure what kind of track wheels to get. The rears are easy, but the fronts gotta fit over my C5 brakes which causes me grief in the wheel department.

Tiago im running the Aeromotive Proseries Pump and controller and its got a lil buzz to it at idle and cruise. Exhaust dumping under the car is louder. and ran fine on the street and worked awsome at WOT .

Sweet ride man. watch it at the track.

Ok, I'm no expert but I thought that you can't really run out of tubro. If you keep trying to get more CFM out of it, it will simply be in a less efficient island of the compressor and generate more heat....and more air. Feel free to correct me.

Looking at these numbers, your efficiency hasn't changed from once boost level to the next (3 psi increase = 100rwhp) Until you get less than 100/3 psi increase, you not only have more turbo, you still have good efficiency.

Maybe you're talking about the hot side with too high of backpressure?

PS. AWESOME setup! Enjoy the hard work and patience you needed for such a great build.

Get something like the CCW drag pack for vettes. They use 16 or 17s up front. You could always go with some bogarts.

you need to do second gear burnouts and hold them longer...no way your ghoana hook with those burnouts...what kinda tires are on it?
i couldent live wit hthe tranny noises...but things badass...sounds like it will be tone of fun

Go with GTO spares up front...they look badass and seem to do good, a guy at the LSx shootout was running them!

yes you can they are only rated at a certain amount of air they can supply, if you spin then more out of their effeciancy range the air will get hot and less power will result.

Thanks smokinHawk.

Car sounds awesome Tiago!

end result is you try to turn up the boost but it wont go up anymore. or it will go up then fall off w/ rpm

so when are you gonna get some st72's on there? Those turbos do not even work that motor very hard being lsx with 6 bolt heads. I wanna hear about 1500 rwhp and see some video of that. When you say the tranny is faceplated what exactly is that? What kind of clutch is it that has metal disc? How is the bite on a metal disc?

NA$TY-TA

iTrader: (21)

I bet the bite is like fliping on a light switch... there is no slipping it LOL

Tiago, you could go with the Bogart's 17X6 up front, and a 15, or 16X10 rear. Inspector has this setup.

Tiago

well why didn't he bring them out ! LOL

he was on teh same tires as I, BFG DRs, 315s.
He had more traction then I.
I was trying to use my line lock but ti woudln't hold the car, it kept sliding forward... so the burnouts sucked.

on the turbos, my experience with these particular units is that above 20psi they will self destruct fast.... so I can't raise the boost any more.


the clutch is very much on-off liek a switch... very difficult to drive heh, but it holds the power.
