It's probably also because he was breaking axles. An automatic allows him to use a line-lock at the lights and pre-load the drivetrain. That way when he launches, everything has some stress against it so the shock of launching isn't so sudden. That's what EasyStreetMotorsports did with their 800+ HP 9 sec STi. They were running 9.7's with regular street tires but when they tried to use drag radials, they broke 2 axles (one front, one rear) so they went to using the auto.

lol man no look at any real drag car and you will find an automatic transmation. it is not posable to out shift one on a drag strip. the reason that R/T are faster with a auto is for the reason you stated. as for broken axles there are after maket ones out there and you can have them made so you wont brake them. we run 10" sliks on are street stocks and we have to run yucon axles on them for safty reasons.

If they sold that as a full kit, I'd probably buy one.

on the bright side the AMS evo ran a 8.75 @ 166 on a 42r so

I'm not going with a 42R...I am putting on the Twin Scroll s256 which spools just like a 18G on a 2.5L...so it'll be good for any type of racing


We are going to develop this as a kit...so if you want one let me know and I can make it happen

[mosc]

I want one but I don't know if I want one, ya know? I'd need exact costs and a wile to convince the mrs

but yeah, I'm definately a prospective customer for that kit. I'd want a smaller twin scroll though and I have an EJ20... not sure how different that would make things...

I think the kit runs ~2500 with the pipes and turbo (depending which turbo you want)...each kit will be custom for each car...we are still getting kit put together to see what final costs are.... I do not want to post for sure numbers till I have everything

Instead of the turbo having one exhaust inlet, it has two. So the 4 runners on the headers merge into 2 instead of just one.

Notice how the uppipe is actually 2 pipes.

I want one also, I'll start sweet talking the wife now.

[nick4592]

well...we can start a group buy

I wouldn't count on production for at least 10-12 weeks though

[baller_v24]

that's awesome, i guess that would spool up faster i take it?

[nick4592]

It spools a lot faster...the turbo I got (the S256) is around the same size as the GT35 but will hit full boost at ~3500..with is when the GT35 starts to spool

[baller_v24]

that's awesome. i would definetely be interested in one if i could i afford one that is. keep us posted about production of this turbo.

[nick4592]

Well....here's the deal now...I throw a Valve from my EJ20 heads to my Forged EJ25 Block....it is the Suck

Soooooo I have decided to rebuild everything..

Soooo the build just got bigger; We are going to have a forged everything, steel sleeved....etc....cams...etc...point blank probably the highest horsepower WRX in the state when we are done...process begins in a couple days, going to be insane! We are shooting for 500-600whp with this new set-up...NO2 free too

I will keep you all posted.

[ArmyWRX]

sounds like fun....
