I've had several turbo cars before and I don't really mind the lag as once the boost kicks in, the power it will be making will definitely make up for it.

Mr Graphite has the option of lurking around with this monster, and getting an open piece of road - shifting down a few gears and riding a wave of lag which will eventually lead to some of the biggest hp/litre ever seen from a road car, or going to a drag event and (admittedly this will be Russian roulette) POTENTIALLY running mental times and then driving home.

Hats off for engaging in such an ambitious project, I hope you giving a us a good speel on how you find it once you've driven it
Thank you sir! There will be plenty of videos to go around

Just saw this thread. Very exciting project.
Thanks to the OP for sharing.

Compliment to Spyros for being innovative and trying new things. I look forward to the results. I hope you both achieve your goals.

Can we nickname this project "Malaka Evo"?

I say that the bigger turbo does not mean that you will faster. One of client removed 3586 and installed GTX4294R with Tial and he became faster GSXR after 300-340))), but earlier he was faster till 250. The same car, the same turbo...
He could not catch moto(not 500hp) because of big lag of the new turbo, but it can bit 350km/h very easy))). Please choose what you need))).

Keep in mind: with small engine and big turbo your runs will depend on the start and very fast precise shifting. The life of high rev engine is much shorter than 2.3 for example.

It all depends on the funds. As of right now, I doubt it will be ready for this years Shootout, for sure by next year though.

Joe has nothing to worry as matter lag etc. we take care of this.
Joe wants a really fast car. No matter if his comp wheel will be 60 or 90mm.
We have test any setup and we know every aspect.
