Just how fast can a 35/40 SOHC manual VL Turbo go?

Try this for first pass ever freshly run in... Great result especially for 25psi... Well done Big Mac And a fair few clicks of the boost tap and a far messier run later... Unfortunately no cage meant there could be no re run. Setup: Maatouks built RB30ET GT3582r on factory exhaust manifold Turbosmart gate Modified factory inlet Camshaft and head work Makes me wanna build another VL!

141mph with a GT35 with .82 rear? Is that a typo? Does it use nitrous?

Has the gt3582r been highflowed?

1.06 rear, no highflow and no gas... Amazing, I know!! Big mile was with added boost, manual's MPH very hard. Remember WHONXT did 149.66 on the 9.501 with traction, if WHONXT wheelspan and ran a 10.0 it would probably go 155 due to the added time on the track. What i'm trying to say that if the car had a proper pass on the 141 it probably would have gone 9.XX but at lower mph due to less time spent on the track.

yeah definetly, anything over 138ish mph is showing 9 sec potential in a VL. I recon that would be the biggest Mph I have seen from a RB30 with that combination. The last VLCT I owned was pulled 134mph in the hands of the old owner with 30psi.. same turbo. Ive seen it happen before, same turbo, big variations in MPH. Must be headwork, and just a better overall more efficent package.

It's incredible, the car was so responsive it doesn't even run any anti lag / 2 step for launch. No 90/10s either!

what compression is the engine? That's so insane! Do you have a power figure at 25psi?
