I have the same clutch myself so things might get a little interesting after I break in the motor & clutch....I'm hoping things hold as well. I was even thinking about dialing it down to progressively bring the boost up to 24-26 psi until I can get the twin disk. After I get that it's 30-32 psi.

Do you plan on towing your TC much? If so get a Tundra I have pulled the TC with a Tacoma and it was a royal PITA. Pulling it with the 5.7 Tundra is like you arent even towing anything haha.

Is anyone familiar with what the highest HP privately built tc is? (not shop owned)

BadDudeTC3

____ I never did post that sheet did I. I have a picture of it on my old phone at home. Think Ill start a thread when I get home to see if anyone comes out of the woodwork with more power.

BadDudeTC3

You never posted the actual sheet, just the #'s. I plan on being up there with you come spring.

Hell yeah. Id love to see more high HP tc's. Thats the only way were going to convince anyone to make some of the parts we need at a halfway reasonable price.

BadDudeTC3

True indeed!

Jessica's tC did 662whp (that was the last video anyway). It was the black one running the PTuning turbo setup. Rumor though was that it last saw 700+whp.


What were the numbers again?

rhythmnsmoke

I probably go with an ACT as well. But I think an unsprung disk for me. Last time I used a sprung disk the spring broke out and logged itself between the pressure plate and disk. Made it not want to engage the gear.

BadDudeTC3

I forgot about that tC! Her car was FAST!

Yeah I remember that car now Justin built it, ran into him last year at TX2K but didnt talk much. Ive heard rumors it made over 700whp also, but never saw anything else. The most mine made was 656whp/630wtq. Shooting to make 700whp this time out on the dyno, dont know if itll ever see that on the street, well see.

rhythmnsmoke

Very nice numbers.

BadDudeTC3

What kind of #'s you shooting for this year Travis?!! You building the motor now right?

rhythmnsmoke

550whp before year end. This is tentative on PTuning finishing the R&D on the gears. If it's not done yet, then probably low-mid 400whp. I'm still on stock wheels until next year, which is when I'll be able to focus on getting my wheel and body setup done.

BadDudeTC3

That's a good plan! I'm hoping they get the R&D done soon too....crossing my fingers that we won't get raped on cost.

rhythmnsmoke

Yeah, est. cost for the single gear is a little over $1k.

BadDudeTC3

Hmmm.....looks like that options just got pushed back to winter 2013. Since I don't have a twin disk yet it doesn't make sense for me to get the 3rd & 4th gear set if the clutch can't hold the power. I'd rather put the 2k into purchasing the twin disk first.....then do the gear set. If I get this other job I applied for I could probably do both twin disk & gear sets by fall.

Twin disc is sick but it takes grtting use to for DF Im running Exedy. Im aost wanting to use E85 but I am just paranoid about it.
