It's a pipe dream, won't ever make it to production

 

A little quote from there post:
"We hope to break 9 sec with 14psi", ummmmm 9's that has been done like a million times already.

 

Why do we need 8speeds

 

...those guys again I see.

 

My thoughts too..

 

The key advantage to the 8-11 speed gear boxes which are coming out is actually for downshifts as they skip gears on upshifts under max acceleration..... so you have a great question unless you need to go 200+mph lol

 

Close ratios can keep a limited powerband more usable, I.e a car with a 1000rpm powerband between peak torque and peak power is not going to work well with a trans that drops 2500 rpm between shifts. 8 speeds takes the F1 a gear further but if you had a half step between a current 4 speed dogbox (for instance) you'd end up with a 1250rpm drop which would be great since shifting a car a few hundred rpm past peak power is still okay.

 

Seems like a cool idea. I would like to read up on it some more but did I miss something? What do you know that I don't know lol

 

Ya lol they're running a gtx55, which is way to big for an evo imo

 

I'm not ready to be negative yet - WTH is it? Is it an airshifted manual, a slushbox, or something else?

 

Sounds like an airshifted dog box.

Gen

A GT55 at 14psi would make lessay 900whp at 11,000 but the powerband would be a slope up to redline. Why they would want a close ratio 8 speed.

For instance -

 

looks like an HPF dyno chart.

 

Somehow I expected to see Extreme Tuners behind this. Can't they pick on Subaru's? That's a much bigger market.

Still, I wonder what Dima Filin is doing with this venture. When I lived on Ukraine, he was seen as legit. I knew nothing then about Evos that you couldn't learn from playing GTIII, but at least you regularly saw his cars around so they weren't pure vaporware.

 

It's extreme tuners. all lies and bullcrap
