Time to build something a little more aerodynamic. With a big block and twin 91's!

 

holy smokes.

 

Cool!
What exact BW turbo is this? S400SX-something? but which one?

Thanks!
Walter

 

3.545 final drive ratio and 25.4" tire height (235/4517 Bridgestone RE-01's)

 

SX-400 80mm with a 1.22 T4 divided turbine housing

 

Let's push the little brick into the wind until there are no more threads left on the boost controller.

 

What gears (ratios) are used b/t 60 & 130?

Thanks,

Kurt

 

This pull was done in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. As I said earlier I was short shifting the car but looking at the speeds by gear I was really short shifting this thing.
1st gear is normally good for 65-70 mph
2nd = about 95 mph
3rd = about 135 mph
so if I'm lookin for the best 60-130 time I will short shift 1st a bit to start the run in 2nd then pull 2nd and 3rd all the way and that time should drop like a rock.
On the data it shows it really slowwed down when I shifted to 4th gear as it was only going 121 mph vs its usual 135 mph when I run it to where it should be.

As for the gear ratios I don't know what they are, they are standard Shep racing dogbox ratios.

P.S. - that is one badass transmission, and great service all the time from "The man "John Shepherd.
