Went to a no prep test and tune last night and had a run in with a gtr. He beat me on the tree (it's been awhile since I've gone to the track). I beat his et by .6 and mph by 1. (11.8@120 was my pass) not bad for having a torque converter that decided it didn't want to live anymore and was slipping the whole way down the track. The da when i check it about 30 min before the race was 6630.

Well played...

how do we know you beat him? i can't see the results.. whats done to your vette?

asd_srt

I didn't beat him. I said that in the post. He got a .5 reaction time or something and I got a .8 rt. My et and mph were faster but he got to the trap sooner since I was sleeping at the tree. I'll post the timeslip next time I'm near my car. It's at my storage place until I get a new tcc. You can hear in the video that tcc is just slipping the whole way.
08 base a6 stock gears with TF255 heads, cmc-20 cam, yank 3200 (that is toasted), kooks long tubes, vararam intake, ported ls3 intake manifold, npp mufflers.
This was the closest race I've ever had.

Unreal

GTRs are all over the place depending on year. Could be a high 11 second factory car, or a 10 second factory car. The early ones were pretty slow, and the new ones are pretty crazy fast.

this one ran a 11.8@119 with a 6300+ da

Great job beating that GTR!

86SC

Sorry, i must have had some beers in me good job getting him off the line.. my brother in law has a 2015 GTR, it's kind of nice but i like the vette much better

YEA! so you lost to car that's heavier, and the point of your post was? a TQ converter has no moving parts it's an "oil pump" how does it slip or burn out? I'm a manual guy so I'm very interested in the answer.

asd_srt

the same way a clutch goes out. Give it too much power and it cant hold because it's not a tight enough converter. And yes a gtr isheavier its also awd and makes a lot more power. I'm just happy I finally raced one and had a faster mph and et. I could careless he beat me because he treed me.

So the point of this post is I raced a gtr. Like i said I've wanted to run one for awhile and I finally did. Did I win no. Does my car cost 100k no. No reason to be a dick.

He is not picking on you he is always a dxxick ...

and yes its more than a pump CMY, I am going to use your line on you
"USE THE SEARCH"

LOL LOL

codyc24

It does have a DBA style front bumper, so if that is stock then it would be 2012+ GTR.

Dcasole

Why did the Yank go bad on you ,I was told that the 3,200 and the 3,600 were the best . I like the fact that they act like a normal converter till you out your foot into it so I was thinking about getting that converter

I am a manual guy I don't need to do a search on a converter I'm also a millwright and no it's not more than a pump it creates the hydraulic pressure necessary to run a auto and that's all it does,

CMY SIX

and BTW ********, I've seen other people say a lot worse things to people in their posts then I have, how come your not jumping all over them, I could drive over to Ga and we could talk about it, I'm in Alabama. you used to have your location in your nameplate before you got chicken and hid it.

Dcasole

Just try adding something to the post , saying a converter is just a pump lol

Relax ...... u can come .....if u want ...lol lol , you really think I removed my location because of u lol
Dave

hippy

Boy if that ain't the pot calling the kettle black.

asd_srt

It was a great converter until it had a date with some nitrous. I got greedy with my shot and it killed the converter. I'm getting another yank just a tighter one to handle the spray.

Dcasole

Thanks !!

Actually it is not a pump. It's a fluid coupler that uses hydrostatics to transmit the power from the impeller( driver or engine side) to the turbine (driven side). By changing the angles of the impeller you change the rpm in which it applies the coupling to the turbine through the stator allowing you to let the engine to get higher engine rpm and hence farther up torque curve.(stall speed). Finally the stator can be modified to give a torque multiplication factor.

usually when they blow the impeller blades get bent or mangled and the don't couple properly.
