I made this small video clip just to share how the car is funning right now, feels pretty good, boost is at about 12-13psi, torque converter is unlocked. I also let off between shifts to help it go into the next gear, otherwise it will just slip too much.

Unfortunately you dont hear the turbo as loud as before because I put the "silencer" better known as the MWE(map width enhancement) on the turbo. Since the turbo is at its peak in efficiency i put that in just to slightly help it stay in its efficiency range.

That's awsome, You really need two hands to control that beast! Did you have a supercharger before the turbo?

 

Never will and wont ever put in a SC. lol

 

wow.... the tach jump at 1:32 is infreakinsane...

do you have a lightened flywheel or is the car just responding that fast with all that torque?

 

Actually, its automatic. it just responds like that

 

wow. again. very nicely done sir. Im actually in the process of piecing together a similar setup soon. Im hoping the 5spd will be able to hold in third..

yea i fail reading apparently. good to see the auto hangin tough

 

Thanx dude, its taken alot of work to get it like this. Goodluck wit the build

 

Whats WME?

 

Nice stuff. Not an automatic fan...but this is just awesome. GJ

 

Its a ring they have at the mouth of the turbos compressor inlet. they call it a "silencer" because when installed you don't hear the turbo's whistle as much, but thats not its real function (sound is just a byproduct), the purpose of it is to shift the surge limit, so when uninstalled it allows for less surge but also sacrifices the turbos performance (since it moves the map to the sides), when installed u are more prone to surge but you have a more efficient turbo (how much, who knows).

 

nice vid

 

very entertaining.. love da automatic setup.. i still have a chance.. lols. but i have a question.... does da boost hits only on 2nd and 3rd gear??

 

Thanx, What do you mean hits?

 

Looking good my man , We need to all get toghter at Corys house and do a BBQ one of these Sundays....

I know Robs in the middle of getting the car and everything.

I know its a bit of a drive for you but I'll talk to Rob and Cory to get something going.

 

Sounds good bro, im down.

 

cojones acere.. how many switches on that *****! lmao.. **** taking off hard, so whens the tranny and shift kit going in dude?

 

Not sure yet, for sure it will go in the next tranny, just not sure when this one will die for good lol

 

makes me want to do a video of my max... all I got is this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_0Hik43KgI

 

Nice video streetz.

 

damn streetz... your tempting me to to a RMT now... You must stop with these videos

 

Sick video things a beast

 

Thanx guys, RMT for evah!!!!

I should be making another video soon, once i get a solenoid to test out my shifting idea (in another thread).

 

Is that a "drift charm" hanging from your rear tow hook???

 

Northen East step y0 game up as streetz would say..

Im Mid class ! HA !

 

Yea I know right!!


Very nice setup cant wait to see vids of the hx40

 

wen does the boost kick in..?? u giva automatics a chance.. koo

 

nah i dont drift.. jus liike to see da expressions on the faces of drivers behind ms and wen they walk behind my car.. its shadow from sonic the hedchog how ever u spell dat.. jus had it and it matched my rims so.. i put it on da tow hook.. it actually looks like its standing up behind my car so people freak out

 

@ 1:55 and 2:42 - how the hell does your automatic short-shift 1-2 and do it so quickly? Do you have a VB mod or something?

 

Streetz you gotta tell'em automatic turbo da best!!!

 

If you notice I let off the gas very very quickly and get back on it right at the shift, all I have is the DR mod everyone should have, since the BOV opens up and boost drops instantly the auto shifts instantly. Basically it really shifts that fast when its N/A. but with power theres alot of slip so thats why i have started to let off, till I upgrade the VB, and try out some idea i have on another thread.

btw what did you mean by short shift? like shift sooner in the RPM? if thats what you meant, I had it set to manual mode(notice at one point i press a button with a little red light on the dash), so i shift it using a little switch i have, basically like tiptronic but on a 3way switch, (click up and shifts up, click down and downshifts).

 

I keep telling people, they all worked up on 5sp this, 5sp that, till they feel a turbo auto, or they fall back everytime they shift next to me lol. Iv come across actual faster cars than mine and had them stay next to me or behind me just because I had no delay at all, while they fell back between shifts. And its rare to find someone that actually powershifts or shifts like a machine like nealoc or something.

 

nah, I can get full boost in all gears, in 1st gear it goes to about 10psi because there is no load since the tires are basically spinning as if it was on ice. but if it was on slicks at the track, 1st would also get higher boost.

 

turbo auto is the best when you can keep your foot on the GAS!! lol swap it out already dam it.. stop being lazy

 

LOL nah, its still got a good amount of life in it, just gotta warm it up before driving so it can go into all gears, i let off the gas in the vid to help it shift and also to keep it from spinning, if i keep it WOT it will continues to spin and turn into a full out burnout lol

 

cute stuffed animal

vid makes me want to turbo my car again, I miss that **** so much.

 

Yeah the little guy is cool.

Turbo yo **** already!

 

I just got laid off. I saved up enough to do it right this spring and then bam, no more job. Unless I can find a good paying job here quick, probably isn't gonna happen for yet another year...

 

I feel you. Same crap just happened to me. good luck

 

And iv been out of work for a year. Just took advantage and went into school full time.

 

yeah tell that to the 6th genners who arent even boosted with 5AT issues.
