    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    Thats right IJ BMW used to get 1500hp in race trim out of their 1.5 litre motors. They did run 60 psi boost to get that output though, but I would love to see a big block size 'old school' F1 motor. That would be a complete hp monster! back on topic/ I think the Veyron was driven...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    lol. a slow veyron I have to see! Your right though, believing these claims is a choice (im not making!) Im going to lay my answer down at an NHRA strip near me....... mid /late 2008.... hopefully the Gt42R will walk the walk :naughty:

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    At last. Someone is seeing reality. A supra is not the god of automobiles (it is nearly, though...). But it will trounce on a Z06 if you invest the same money that the Z06 cost to buy...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    Yeah! Looks impressive but I want verified videos and verified scrutineering (that its stock) before i believe that time.... At the end of the day its easy to paint any picture you want on the internet given a few loyal friends and Photoshop. A stock Z06 is NOT very nearly as fast as a...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    the Z06 forum guys have said the fastest stock Z06times are 11.8-12 seconds ~ at 120mph ~ Link to stock Z06 1/4 mile thread on Z06 forums bearing in mind a Bugatti veyron only does a standing quarter in about 10.5 at 155mph iirc It is categorically impossible that a stock Corvette...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    11.8-12 seconds ~ at 120mph is the fastest a stock Z06 has ever run so you are right. Link to stock Z06 1/4 mile thread on Z06 forums At the end of the day its an apples to oranges comparison. Some Mk3s have run 9 second quarters....and faster :naughty: I didnt know this but it seems...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    Ouch :biglaugh: 600rwhp Mk3 Vs 410rwhp Z06 Mk3 will murder it with a decent driver. Also, lets not forget the cost difference.... I dont know how much Zo6s cost but I doubt theres any change from $45k ok, so lets sink $42k into tuning and modding our Mk3 to bring it in to the...

    Instrument Cluster - What aftermarket gauges fit? What LEDs are you using?

    Indeed! Good thinking re shaving the shroud down but even then I think it will be tight and I will end up with a loppy shroud that isnt perfectly flat and leaks light quite possible! So Im looking to find out what other gauges people have used in this location? eg/ oil temp gauge, water...

    Instrument Cluster - What aftermarket gauges fit? What LEDs are you using?

    I gutted the entire gauge down to its basic components...(ie/ it could get no smaller!) I have cut down the vacuum tube, reinserted a spacer to regulate the airflow going in to the back of the guage as it is with the stock length tube (that i cut down) and the long and...

    Instrument Cluster - What aftermarket gauges fit? What LEDs are you using?

    ok guys. Well I recently fitted an autogauges mechanical boost gauge to the stock dash cluster, in place of the Toyota OEM gauge... its been very very problematic and much more work than I ever planned for a damn boost gauge :icon_evil basically, the end result is the gauge electronics are...

    Best Way To Build An 11 Second 7MGTE

    o rly? I have not seen a side by side, like for like, dyno plot of both motors anywhere? Can you hook me up with one please? :naughty:

    Best Way To Build An 11 Second 7MGTE

    Agreed. a 2jz wouldnt fit in the DSM engine bay as its a straight six vs 4 cylinder. Likewise the Supra is a bigger heavier car to cope with that size and power which again gives us the apples to oranges comparison. Both great motors for sure but shep's car is anything but street usable at...

    Boost gauge installation - wiring query!!

    You are right with that. Thing is this gauge doesnt have dimmer sadly :( (and nor do any other stock ones **unmodified** that I am aware of?) I dont get this part either! I would understand completely if 1/ you turned the key and the gauge came on dimmed 2/ you put the lights on and it...

    Boost gauge installation - wiring query!!

    I agree, that would be the best option! But I dont have a wiring diagram for the PCB or clock wiring at present (or should I say I cannot find it on TSM) and I have a spare set of clocks in mint condition (with PCB) so I am taking this route initially at least :icon_bigg With that said, I...

    Boost gauge installation - wiring query!!

    Does anyone know a link to a wiring diagram for the actual dash clock PCB? Would be really useful for some other plans I have for gauges! thanks
