I am glad the 8474 would not fit my engine bay as it would be tempting on the stroker, could you imagine my little 205 on 225 tyres, Under 1000kg and around 700 bhp with all that torque....it would be like a rally cross car from the 80s/90s

I too would like to see where full boost is on a 700hp+ 9180 setup on a rr graph
Cheers Paul
That's one thing I'm trying to look at, the trade offs and gains from a 1.05 and a 1.45
I did have a gt4094r on a 1.05ar on an rb26 engine and that made over 700 hp and would easily rev over 8k and just kept making power and that was a 2.7 !

Bara said to me that the quaife boxes are sold with small profit margins to keep the price competitive but when you need parts they charge like an angry rhino.
I wouldn't ever want a sequential in a road car only a track car, the box in my rs6 isn't dct just torque convertor and 8 speed auto trans but it is bloody awesome, 0-100 mph with no launch consistently 7.5 seconds in full auto 2 ton car, and can take big torque, that's the sort of thing I'd want if I ever wanted to change so it's good for road and race
Yes I only quote numbers of what I saw on the last dyno run which is always the number it makes on the road.
If it goes on to make more elsewhere I still quote what I saw.

A lot of people say that and I do get why (noise, clunky, expense, etc)
But I also don’t understand why lots of people fit huge monster turbos with loads of top end power yet break boxes on a regular, struggle to change gear or are forced to treat their car gently, it’s pointless.
all the time your changing gear your not accelerating

so without going too much of the main subject we’re back to the old different dyno debate again.
And this car is one you mapped and made 655hp at motorworx?

I guess everyone is different I personally could no way spend 9 grand on a gearbox. You could buy a tko new and a gsxr1000 lol. I don’t think the elite will put up with the torque the new big turbos produce after seeing a mates break twice with out. Id be happy to compromise and keep the revs up and down shift. I don’t see it as an issue in a road car as your pretty unlikely to meet anything as quick on 4 wheels normally

It does make a huge difference my gtr is seamless shifts 0-100 mph in 4.9 seconds, but for me the Cossie is raw, no driver aid except abs and possibly launch control, it's about man and machine for me with a h pattern box just how it was 20 years ago when I bought my first one
That's me about 20 years old with my first ever Cossie a 350 hp saph 2wd on greens with a t34 0.63 I loved that car blew me away I'd never been in anything like it, wooped all the Scooby's I came across at the time which were all the rage hence my username

Very true,
With regards to my own car as a fun toy to be used at weekends, santapod, etc with lots lots of power and a huge turbo I think it will hold it back if not going sequential (eventually)
At the same time a gearbox is really expensive people spend crazy money on a big power engine only for the gearbox to hinder it, makes no sense to me, may as well stay 500hp if sticking with a manual box, keeping it a better ‘road car’
