Mini meet up pics.

sphell · 27-01-2005, 12:31 AM

Had to get some parts off TUFED-6 tonight so we met up with him at Albert Park Lake. I must say - that car is awesome John!

And to everyone else, NER NER we got to ride in a 460rwkw ED lol

: nah joking. But it was pretty cool. And hard to believe the car is running a standard T5!

Here's some pics of mine, John's and Sunny's green machine. Sorry about the quality, it was dark.

Stevo · 27-01-2005, 12:36 AM

I've got a set of EL thermo's in my garage, but so far I haven't really been that motivated to put them on. The clutch fan does an awesome job of keeping the thing cool, even with the crazy underbonnet temps it has.

I've got a spare output on the Microtech configured to switch them on and off though. Also thinking about an electric water pump too. Those two mods combined are probably good for 20kw or so.

Hey John, are you going to be attending the dyno day?? I would LOVE to see this puppy in person. When will you stop chasing power?! It's going to be good for 500 at the rear bags soon enough.

Interceptor'85 · 27-01-2005, 02:59 PM

That is such a cool line up guys!

EASPRINT · 27-01-2005, 03:07 PM

Don't know how.. I've heard alot of conflicting reports about how strong a T5 is. Mine so far is doing OK. Doesn't make any funny noises or anything. I have been babying it in 1st gear, but thats about it. The wheelspin probably protects it to a degree.

Edy Tassone did a 1000rwhp run through a T5 in 4th gear and it held together for the run. I think they are stronger than people sometimes give them credit for.

All the power in my car comes on from the mid to top end, which plays a part- it isn't really getting shocked like a car with alot of low-down torque would.

The clutch is a MRD 2.5ton single plater. Which takes a bit of getting used to. I've done the firewall reinforcing mod, but I expect to break the clutch cable any day now.

As i've said a few times in the past, the plan is to ditch it and put an auto in it. At the moment I'm thinking a powerglide and a 4000rpm stall converter.

EASPRINT · 27-01-2005, 03:39 PM

I'm looking at auto conversion...cause I've had a couple of T5's let go. And i've only got 270rwkw. I'm running a Extreme Clutches Cusion Button...BA type plate.

dansedgli · 27-01-2005, 03:43 PM

What auto are you looking at Dave?

Ive been hanging to get back into a manual, Im over these shitty launches.

Yeah, I've heard of them letting go with alot less than 270rwkw too. Maybe there are strong T5's and weak T5's. Or maybe the quality control on them was always hit and miss and its just luck if you get a good one. Hard to say.

Were your T5's both from EA's?

I don't think I will be able to make it! I'm getting married the night before, so I will probably still be over 0.5! I might drop the car off to Ben at MRD during the week before and he might be able to come past and run it up. Haven't worked out if it will be possible. I'd love to be there but I don't think my fiance would be too happy!

When will I give up? Depends how close to a 9sec quarter I can do with the current setup. If we run a bit more boost and rev it a bit harder theres more power to be had, but we're kind of getting into dangerous territory for the bottom end then.

Alot of 'ifs' there!!

The main reason for building a turbo Falcon was to embarass Skyline and LS1 drivers. It's pretty good at that already! ;)

That is exactly why I'd be doing it!

: I don't think your's would be having a problem with that :dr_Evil:

Oh, are you going to be finishing off the kit or doing anything aesthetically?

Cheers

I want to get the matching rear bar, and colour code the mirrors and door handles to finish it off as an XR6 replica (sort-of). Needs the side badges as well. The pin striping has to go and I was thinking about taking the stripping from the doors off too.

dansedgli · 27-01-2005, 05:29 PM

Was the car an EA or EB1 before? I noticed your washer bottle lid is different to mine.

I turboed mine to beat skylines and LS1's as well. I just need more power to do it convincingly.
