Those yanks are power mad

[joolski]

1.46 bar of boost ?????????

Those guys in the states are really pushing the limits of the engine, although I don't think I'd like to be around when it finally lets go !

That's a truly awful torque curve.

Does he state which turbo's? I notice he says larger. You don't need bigger turbo's....just different ones.

The dyno charts represent 539 HP and 535FtLbs

Now that will destroy his gearbox

Oh dear, am I reading between the lines here and guessing you're going to have more than 530BHP when the beastie hits the road again?

Blummin' server got itself upset and must have thought the submission worthy of a double entry....

Well, we ran a 488RWHP, 530wheellbs torque and a STOCK gear box w/50 hrs of race time before the engine failed- Porsche Motorsports recomends a refresh every 30 hrs.

Which sounds very like Mike's uprated gearbox.

GT28RS Turbos- as for the torque curve, i explained in the USA forum that the torque and power curves drop off due to the Hoosier race tires getting massive wheel spin after the peak- we had tire rubber all over the dyno. When you have wheel spin on the dyno the result is a curve like you have seen. The power and torque is phenominal- what it really needs is about 30mm more rubber and wider fender flares. It IS very predictable though- once you are used to driving the car at that level, it starts to seem mundane again. At 7300 rpm in 5th the car still wants to pull hard.
