What is your Torque Technique on Stage 4 with no high stall converter!? I have a higher stall converter coming soon

Until then what's the best way to launch?

Just mash the gas and brake at the same time. With the stock T/C your only going to see about 3,200 RPM's. With the upgraded T/C you'll lanch the same way but will be able to reach 4,200-4,500 RPM's. You'll also want to do the T/C Lock-Up mod and a ATF Cooler.

Ok I just thought that there might be ANOTHER way to launch the car since the stock TC doesn't get rid of the lag of the VF30. Currently I have run 13.9 @ 98MPH on the stock turbo with just intake, cat-back exhaust, downpipe, uppipe and boost controller.


Do you or anyone else out there build boost off the line? if so how much boost on stock TC?

Jon

 

The way to really "launch" try this...first pump the brakes to build up pressure and then hold them. Next put the car in Drive 2. Step on the gas to build "RPM" to "your" stall speed. At the same time release the brake and drop the "selector to Drive 1" and then hold on

 

whoa? that's a new one? hehehe I'll try it this friday! im assuming after you drop it to 1st you shift at 7200 right? or closest possible to rev limiter! do you shift to D?

Jon

 

The best place to shift is where your engine/mods stop making power and no, do not go to drive. Please believe me when I say, If you use the technique I proposed "correctly" you will have the fastest and easily repeatable starts possible with the 4eat. Your next step is to get a "Phantom Grip" limited slip for your tranny (about $300 shipped)...have you changed to Irridium spark plugs?
Sorry wrong forum

 

thats some nice times. what was the boost set at?

 

that's old hehehe

new times are: 13.82 @ 104MPH (before TC)



Jon

boost peaks at 19lbs

 

you are running those times with the aforementioned parts? wow thats cool.

and is your boost spiking to 19lbs or do u have the mbc set for 19lbs

 

oops sorry... yes the 13.9 @98 was on stock turbo and the mentioned parts.

13.82 @104 is on

got sbc-id set to 19lbs

all parts that complete a turboxs stage 4 (took out the intake though due to having a unichip)

Jon

 

well, probably one of the biggest parts of the stage 4 that you are missing is VF30 turbo. now im confused

arent u a little worried running around with 19lbs of boost on a stock turbo/fuel system? i want to see what this setup runs with 15.5-16lbs

aaron

 

i have complete stage 4 meaning vf30, fuel pump, injectors, unchip...etc.

 

ah ok, when are u planning to track it?

 

I've been.. that's how i got my 13.82 @ 104. I just put on my tranny cooler and i plan on going out again tonight

Jon

 

so you had a 13.9 pre stage 4 (uppipe, downpipe, exhaust and mbc) and a 13.8 with stage 4?

sorry if i am not taking onto this, im confused hope you had fun
