I know there are only a handful of tC's that have made it over 500hp, and many who've attempted ended up giving up. What are some of the pitfalls? Would it be feasible to have a DD tC at 400-450whp and then ramp it up to 500+ for a track weekend?

I'm on the verge of making BIG hp, but I still would like to be able to drive my car at least most of the week.

 

to get there u need some serious engine work not only internals. but the head aswell as some other things.. fuel return system.. bla bla bla .. the list goes on. u can drive it DD just get a EBC and have the boost low when u drive around.

 

Not worried about the engine aspect. It's almost done and it's been built for high hp and lots of boost. Just worried about reliability, tranny wear, axles, etc.

 

took my tanny apart and brought it into school, they said it's surprisingly strong.

so that's good. ahah

 

haha lmao.. niceeee

 

Im shooting for at least 450hp. So I would like to know what classify as "Internals". Like down to the sleeves as well.

 

430 and moving toward 500 after friday... aem ems - 1000cc - and fuel rail with fuel return line.. we'll find out after friday.. i'll post it..

 

Chris Rado uses the stock tranny in the "Black Betty" time attack TC, and when i talked to him at summit point he said the tranny in our cars is amazingly strong. At the time they were in the process of changeing out the tranny though, he cought a little air over a hump at the track and didnt let off the gas therefor busting 4th gear all too hell. That was at about 600 hp but they are capeable of 800 whp.

 

I say get a built axles.. and yeah oil system is critical too

 

you should read through the official end all eingine build thread, it covers all this and more.

 

im totally over 500hp.
just take the spring out of that wastegate thing

 

and your boost level will be infinite until you blow ahaha

 

priceless

 

Dave's sig made me hunt down this comical statement which lead me here & made me want to revive this thread.

PROOF, OR YOU'RE LYING.

 

hahahahha

wow way to waste an afternoon.

 

Haha, not hard to find. Click search, type in "500hp" & "olaHalo" as the author & BOOM, this is the only thread that came up. 30 seconds or less, easy peasy nice n easy.

 

your avatar trips me out.

 

He's cute. Hushupyoface.

 

Correct me if i'm wrong but, doesn't that make boost = 0 since its always dumping?

So actually you would need a spring with a infinite spring constant. y=Kx. where K -> infinity. lol

 

boost it what opens the diaphram and spring at one point the boost will over come just the spring but it would be a high number
