yes rollin he has mate..

double

gt4780 with a .9a/r rear housing makes around 30psi at 4500rpm on a 4l, don't know how well that would go on a drag set-up that revs to 6500.. would probably require converter change an possibly cam change

heres a graph from simon at xft's FG F6

Light switch boost response anyone?? It gains 380rwkw between 4000 and 4750rpm

fritzz is that the same cooler u have on ur car?

are you buying the turbo for me? its about $4500

That's nearly how much my au cost.

When do you get to the point where you have gone fast enough and spent enough cash?

good question Dan,but u know me I've been spending money on this car for years since XTC days LOL. I'll give up when I see 8sec passes with everything maxed out.

once everythings maxed out im guessing then your gonna get a snort manifold and w2a cooler and run a 7?

i just found out that the owner of the car is a FKN Dentist.

Thats for them to decide.

If all people took your shitty attitude motorsport would be boring, we wouldn't have Topfuel cars running in th 4's that for sure...

LOL cos I havent spent cash on cars before.

I was asking hiboost a question directly not telling people how much they should or shouldnt spend.

Next time Ill ask you for permission before asking someone a question.

Oh, i see. Cool.

dan raises a point. unless people make it their career/job of working on/owning/racing fuckin sick cars including drag cars top fuellers or just mint million dollar restos... there comes a point in every mans life he realises spending money on cars as a hobby is a waste of money and better investments at a younger age would have been much wiser....
lucky i realised that one kind of early and didnt sink as much money as some lol

Is a hobby ever a waste of money though?
sure, cars might be more expensive then other hobbies, but as long as you get enjoyment out of it, then its really upto them if its worth the money.

hiting the pubs with $200 is a waste of money too, but if you have a good night out then its surely not a waste.

I also don't see why everyone simply see's property as an investment, some of us like to LIVE in a house, and make it nice to LIVE in, as aposed to looking at what its going to be worth when you sell it.
enjoy the best of both

I would much rather sink that $200 into the car or into savings, than blow it on alcohol at a night club or something like that. Your literally pissing for money up against a wall and waking up with a massive headache.

Who has an investment property and doesnt live somewhere?

Who mentioned anything about houses in this thread anyway?

I was talking about hiboost's next $4500 turbo getting maxed out then needing another bigger more expensive turbo then maxing that out and getting a bigger more expensive turbo and so on. When does he stop?

8's? 7's? $50k? $100k? Bankruptcy? 6's?

I'm not negating your comment dan, yours is valid.

i'm more so commenting on bentle's post.

Fair enough, he is a bit of a douchbag.

Waking up with a hangover and going through your wallet to find out that you have spent $200 and dont remember how is a killer.

Whats the fastest twin cam 6 these days? Is this EL faster than the BA's?

you'll have to search some sigs on AFF for the fastest BA running slicks/aftermarket manifold/noseats etc etc
might take a while

tuner in QLD got the fastest at the minute i think. 9.3 rings a bell, but he might have gone quicker.
thats still IRS too which is impressive.
gtech cars will be at calder next friday i would reckon.

Used to go out with Daneos every friday and saturday night wasted so much coin I could of saved or put in the car. Saturday nights tended to start with me rolling up still with a headache from the night before. But after a few drinks it didnt hurt anymore.

lol im just commenting on my experiences talking to older blokes... they all were like us. young thinking spending money on cars cos we like it was a good idea... nearly all of them now wish they hadnt....

This car ran a 8.70 last Fast Friday at Kwinana.



Which means it moves up to 2nd place behind another ford pwoered car.. yeah boi.

Ed40, Rodney went 8.87/154 last week. Which currently makes him the fastest SOHC in aus. A big congrats to him an who ever was involved.

Mate who was there reckons 100% it was an 8.7 pass.. it ran 8.87 the week before that.

Mate goes every week.

sorry my bad ur right the 8.87 was two weeks ago. congrats to him once again.

Pwoahh can't believe one of these is finally in the 8's Awesome news and good on the owner/workshop.

Anyone got specs on it?

that's awesome...

so that has got there before the g-tech and the citric acid ba's. pfft who need's a twin cam. top work.

things are getting hot @ the top of the SOHC charts.
why has it taken so long!
these cars are 10+ years old

Because all of the people who own e-series have been saving up for 10+ years to afford to go fast?
