K24/18g vs Tial GT28 "alpha," what i'v learned.
Yesterday, me and a few friends got together and decided to do some pulls and see the difference between a K24/18g car and a GT28alpha.
There were three cars total:
1) K24/18g @1 bar 6-speed
2) K24/18g @1.3 bar, larger injectors 6-speed
3) GT28 alpha @ 1.2 bar, larger injectors, meth injection tiptronic
All cars were EPL tuned and running 93 oct gas.
First pull was between GT28 and the 1.3 bar car at third gear about 45 mph. The 1.3 bar car pulls ahead 1 car and stays that way till 130ish.
Second pull same thing, same result.
Third pull 1 bar car vs 1.3 bar car third gear 45ish-140ish.
DEAD EVEN. Not sure why, 1bar car feels very strong. (factory freak?)
Forth Pull 1.3 car vs GT28 car 2nd gear 25mph-120mph.
GT28 car pull three car lengths on the 1.3 bar car immediately and then stays that way. The quickness of the spool is very apparent.
Final pull 1.3 car vs GT28 car 50ish-160ish third gear.
Cars are dead even, GT28 starts to pull ahead around 150ish. 1.3 bar car shuts down shortly after. I was in the zone and took her to 189. She is fast up top.
CONCLUSION:
The GT28 turbos spool quicker than the k24/18g cars and will get the lead if you start from stop (drag race) or in lower RPM's. However, once both cars are in their efficiency range they are pretty even. The tip car has larger driveline loss, therefore, if the GT28 turbos were on a 6speed they would be stronger and provide more area under the curve.
I will do a rematch and hopefully get some good videos next time.
The difference will be
Tip car running at 1.3-1.4 bar. TCU calibration for 7200rpm redline and quicker shifting.
1.3 bar car on 100 oct.
And we had Markski's V-box all three cars were running between 7.9-8.8 60-130mph. None of us ever used it before and not sure if there is a way to calibrate it, the box is screwed up, some type of testing method we don’t know, some magic trick, or dare I say people are sandbagging.
If we are doing everything right, I would love to run one of the cars that are running 6 sec 60-130mph with the same hardware and see them walk away from me by 10-20 cars.
These are just my thoughts and results. I dont want to start any flames. Please feel free to post you thoughts and suggestions.
