Thread: VET build Pics.

The car sounds really good man, its a nice smooth acceleration, And i noticed the same thing after i put on the gr2's with Ground control coil overs on. i dont spin as harsh in second gear like before most of the time it would just pound off the rev limiter when i punch it at about 35-40mph, now depending on the road it will still do that if on a crappy road, but on a nice road it will spin the tires but pull hard at the same time, i mean i go from 35-60 in about 1.3-5 seconds or so in second, i even spin third gear even shifting slower but once that clutch comes out with the reves still up the tires will spin to about 70mph. this is on falken ziex 195's in good condition with 75% tread left. So yeah the suspension holding the back up and the front down helps alot.

Although its hard to say how much power your making, Im at around 265-275whp on my t25@15psi but my car weighs only 2200 lbs so weight has alot to do with it, cuz it seems like my car on a T25, JDM, S4's, Flywheel, would take you out pretty easily, haha, here is a vid of mine that was on 8psi, i havent taken a vid at 15psi yet so it pulls a little quicker than in the video. Let me know what you think, You just have a lot more weight to pull around. I would definetly say your probably up in the 325-350whp range but its hard to say. I can definetly say your top rev holds a more steady acceleration than mine, cuz around 80mph in mine in third the power has already fallen off so from 60-80 is about 1.5 seconds while it takes about 1 more second to go from 80-90, haha

My buddies disco accelerates like your car in the vid, very hard pull. But I killed him on the freeway. The gearing in my car is not the best, I almost wish I went with the B15 trans instead of the p11. The car pulls really good but the gearing is not the best and the speedo is off by 5-7mph. In 3rd gear by the fuel cut I am already over 100mph.

Also all of these vids are uphill too. But after seeing those videos that is crazy. I know my car is heavy and all but that car revs way fast. It almost makes me wish I kept the lightweight fly in there, but the car is so much better to drive with the stock one.

I have my old video of me getting on the freeway on 10psi on flat. I will post that one for comparison.

there are some videos of my 10psi run on the stock ve cams not switching. seems slow. Maybe I should modify my videos to play faster lol.

yeah i forgot you had the p11 trans and yeah your car holds its power all the way through while i make more torque than hp, haha and my powerband is from about 4k-6.5k while your power band is from 4k-8k, haha theres the difference, well if it was a little cooler out i would take some vids at 15psi but even at 10 oclock its still over 90 deg out over here. Yuma heat sucks. it was like 115* today. Thats probably another difference im feeling. But when i first upped it to 15psi when it was cooler it was crazy, no traction till about 75mph, now at night it will slightly spin in third to about 70mph if i shift a little quicker but it pulls like mad to 115 after 115 the power just falls off, gonna be putting a T28 on with some 520cc injectors at 4bar here in a couple months or so, then my powerband at 17psi which should hold to redline will be from 3.5k to 7.7k which will make for some rediculous topend. It wont even compare to the vid i just showed you, haha

I took her out for a spin with my 240 friend. He says it is high 300s. Maybe I will dyno her soon. I am going to guess maybe 340whp. If I don't hit over 340whp then I will be changing this manifold lol. Or perhaps this cat is a restriction?

wanna trade?! haha but honestly, is it just because the gears are longer with the final drive? i have the b15 and it seems like i have to shift too often. first gear is completely pointless in my car.

lol. Ya the p11 has longer legs. And that's not all bad, but the videos don't do this car justice. A car with Ashton's mods up here wouldn't do over 270whp, There are cars with much more modification on 18psi with bigger turbos not hitting over 350whp. Perhaps the elevation has something to do with this? I hope to hit over 350whp on 16psi but that seems like a stretch. The car pulls like crazy, but she will need some better tuning.

Timing looks like about 21 degrees at 7500rpm at wot in third gear. I have the timing set on the dizzy to 17-19* so that means 25* advance max. Is this good or should there be more timing in there. The timing is about 17-19 till over 7200rpm, then it peaks at 21.

where do you live, elevation has a ton to do with it, my buddy in alberquerque NM elevation of 5500 ft ran his T28 S13 SR'd 240 and only ran a 14.7 @ 97mph, thats really really low. It was kinda hot out that day he said also. at the time he ran it was almost 90 degrees out. So yeah im actually below sea level where i live. If your up there in elevation thats the difference man. Your car at sea level would defeintly pull over 350whp no problem probably at 14-15psi

Your car sounds like it wants to breathe more, it sounds just like mine with the cutout closed and a 1.5" cat lol. I'd put a 3" cutout in there and open wastegate

yeah that cat is killing you, high flow or not. open her up and see what happens
