Stock Trans/rear?

 

^ Hes stock

I wonder if that size turbo is better because the power hits later on?

 

Honestly joey my GT4088r wasnt much different spool than my GT35R both being twin scroll. I think its a cumulative thing that is the demise of these transmissions even if you don't drop the clutch in certain gears. I was very gentle with my 1-2 and 3-4 shift and drove my car that way for 2 seasons with 350 hp then 500 hp. After I took it to the track I was driving on the street for a couple of weeks, did a slight clutch drop into second trying to get the wheels to let go in the rain at 4500 rpm and bang 2nd gone. I had been much more rough on it before that event and it had held up.

 

^ Yeah, I just hope I can get a few trips to the track this summer before it lets go..............

Neema, did you go full tilt in 2nd, or limit the boost?

 

go big or go home lol...full tilt

 

I had been much more rough on it before that event and it had held up.

Here in lies some of the issues with 2nd gear letting go eventually IMO. If you drive the car hard and it holds your still stressing and weakening the drivetrain. The gears will eventually get fatigued and will let go with a 2nd gear pull. That's why some cars last longer with different drivers.

Bottom line is we all know if your hard on the car racing, banging gears, tracking with high hp, things are going to break sooner than later. That does not mean you cannot have a lot of fun running the car as long as you respect it and not trying to drive the car like your trying to get that last tenth of a second at the track. I have found I can waste most people with a 3rd gear pull into the top of fourth.

Yes limiting boost to 10psi 1st and 12psi in 2nd is a must! If you look at "mismys" video with full power at 525whp it's useless without drag radials.

 

Yeah I run drag radials on the street and I like to have fun with my car, not drive it like a nancy boy. That is why I upgraded the transmission to a V160 this winter.

 

So what people are saying is that most people own dyno queens with boost limited tunes at street legal speeds....

We really need a better tranny solution for this car. Currently, I think the Full Blown Supra tranny and Ford rear are musts if you're going to make a balanced performer.

It'd be interesting to see what people's "areas under the curve" are from 0-60 mph when you make limited boost through 1st and 2nd.
I wouldn't use a scalpel to cut firewood.
I wouldn't use a chainsaw to shave my face.
Right tool for the right job, gentlemen.

That's my $0.02.
If I had it to do over again, I'd get a used Cayman S or 911 that makes less power on a dyno, but is well balanced for what I'm going to use it for 99% of the time.

That being said, "my car f'in ROCKS" right now.

 

Im so Jealous

 

Yea, you make some good points, but it starts slowly, for me it was "just an exhuast", then a Greddy Kit, now im 600 +. A used Caymen S sounds as exciting as a 400lb Stripper with AIDS..............

But you are right, the Ford Rear & Supra Tranny would def complete my car, it's just the additional $10,000 that makes me think "meh.........maybe if I go easy on it in 1st and 2nd, I can save the cash, at least for the summer, lol)
