Nubaroo - time for some upgrades!!!

[benzino]

haha so much for turning the boost down and enjoying the car... lol

[Nubaroo]

Upgraded the turbo - just machined the exhaust housing bigger to fit a T4 wheel, and Steven from JMS built me a better/newer turbo branch.

The results speak for themselves - 352KW/636NM on the wheels at 2.1bar boost


Could boost higher but the Dicktator only has a 2 bar map sensor. Will have to upgrade to a 3 bar box to go higher

Also my 2 bar boost gauge took some strain when we boosted up to 2.5bar - not reading accurate anymore

Will get a 3bar gauge soon. Racing at Nitro tomorrow - -will post results and vids soon.

very very nice results!

do you have any problem with torque steer on the dyno?

[Nubaroo]

No problem with torque steer - on the dyno or on the road. I am running a LSD and with the power steering all goes pretty smooth

My tuner uses trackbite to prevent wheelspin on the dyno when cars make more than 300KW on the wheels

OMG thats crazy ! I don't know how that poor F18 or F20 that you have hasn't exploded into a million pieces with 470 lb ft torque !! lol Amazing numbers, congrats and keep up the good work

F18 is still holding up - I am not sure how it manages it thoug

hey bro what kind of tires are using for runing??? toyo proxes R888???????? those are drag radials right?????

post some pics of your tires please!!!

[Nubaroo]

I was running Toyo Proxess R888 when I ran the 12.7/400m but they are finished now.These are the best tires ever!!!!

These are 17" Tires - 205/40/17 - Semi Slicks - Street legal tires

[Nubaroo]

My turbo packed up at the drags and I only managed 1 x decent(first) run for the day - 12.71 seconds on the 400m

Since then I have fitted a BALLBEARING turbo and a bigger dumpvalve to eleminate the turbo flutter. All is good and I cannot wait for races firts Sunday in Ocktober.

Had a run with an Audi R8 today. First run I slipped 2nd gear and the R8 stretched away a couple of car lengths. 2nd run I got the gears right and I had to tapp off in 3rd gear to give the guy a gap. Th R8 thought he had it in the bag, but had a look of surprise/disgust on his face when the Woo popped past him

Will do bud

Getting the Daewoo intake redone tomorrow ( Monday/Tuesday). The old throttle body after 350 000KM has seen better days, and my tuner suggested building an intake "plenum" manifold with 76mm throttle body. Apparently this should increase power by round 30KW??

Any ideas on this???
