Carter Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I dont pronounce the Starbucks sizes correctly, I think it pisses them off. I hold to the small, medium, large sizes. They like to correct me, and I just say "yes thats right, a large" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDII Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 ^ I need a bigger turbo! Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytek Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 you need a different axle ratio first of all... our cars are gearing limited, not drag (large turbo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimakf7 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 ^ I need a bigger turbo! Time to invest in a Veyron... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytek Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 For example, running stock size tires, and 4.11 final ratio, and having a frontal area of 28sft, and Cd of .32, you will need ~356whp at 7k rpm to go 169mph... if you can run up to 7.5k rpm, than you would need ~432whp to hit 181mph.

tytek Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 my 360whp should theoretically let me run all the way up to 167mph at 6850rpm any more speed requires more HP and a higher rev limiter - and we all know how difficult it would be to pump out 430whp at 7500rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Subaru used to make aircraft engines correct? So in theory we have aircraft inspired engines. Definately possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call BS I hit 156 on an airstrip with stock turbo/TMIC/stock catback/dyno tune. It was tuned for 244WHP... My torco map is tuned for 306WHP... I'm thinking 175-180 Need forum help?

My torco map is tuned for 306WHP... I'm thinking 175-180 Call it whatever you like. The assumptions I used, when plugged into a spreadsheet, gave me the quoted results. You are free to contest that and prove the theory wrong. Regardless of the power level you have, it is pretty much a given that you will run out of RPMs before you get to 170mph. It would be entertaining though, to see a video of an LGT Wagon doing 180mph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwiener2 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I call BS I hit 156 on an airstrip with stock turbo/TMIC/stock catback/dyno tune. If you are using the stock speedo for a reading you were more likely doing 145ish. The faster you get, the more off the stock speedo gets. I may be getting new gears soon...and therfore the theorectially fastest LGT/OBXT:p My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
