Proto 24/20g VS Softronic 24/18g TODAY.

[robmd99]

You guys should have called me! I was out last night racing a silver mustang with a 250 shot. I would have shot some videos for you guys. Have a boosted day Robert

I couldn't disagree with you anymore. On low boost and pump gas they are phenomenal on race gas they are obviously better. I have heard a lot of people say that the 18's and 20's are the same on Low boost I just don't think that claim is valid anymore.

I was going to say the same thing... 1.2bar+ for 20 gs...

Right, there is no way I could run low high 6's to 7.0 on pump with my 18's. The 20's are clearly more powerful. I'd be happy with 7.2-7.3 on pomp.

Well too many variables at hand... one is components including the tuning...
Not saying yours are worse at all but I asked Bobby( knows more then anyone about this) long time ago and he said up to and he said up to 1.2 bar they both perform same...
but then maybe we were proven wrong....

Do you have a separate program for race gas or does ECU adapt?

Mike, no separate program for race gas just a low/high boost button on the boost controller. I definitely think this car has a 6.8-6.9 in her on pump but i'm not going to get silly trying to get that. Peak boost on my 7.06 was 1.20 dead on. I have my warning level at 1.21. I'm not playing any game as longevity is my priority. I drive my car hard but I take care of it. We'll see what she can do in the future. I'll probably fill her up with race gas tomorrow night and start giving her the final look over for the mile. Todd K will be street tuning the car on Friday and after that the rest lies in the hands of mother nature.

Thanks Peter. You'll have to take it for a spin when at the mile. I know you've driven much faster but I think you'll be very impressed with driveability. See you on Friday.

I'm really starting to see why Bobby and Todd invested so much time into developing these turbos for our cars.

Mark, Ben, I would've thought 20G's are capable of better than 6.8-7.0's at 1.2 on pump? I ran 6.6 - 6.8 on pump at 1.2 bar with 18g's and injectors, before Meth? Oh and don't take this the wrong way either, as I WAS considering this turbo option also. Is this turbo capable of 5.5's on race at 1.4-1.5?

The only thing I can conclude is that you've got a freak motor. Noone in Houston on 24/18s with the exception of Todd has come close to running a 6.01 and that was in a tip .... presumably faster than any 6 speed will go. I'm pretty sure i'll dip into the fives with race gas and be in the high 6's on pump once I get a few things ironed out.

Yea Mike, you're car is the fastest 24/18g 6speed right? Freakishly fast,

Freak motor If I had a nickel every time I heard that!!
Ok. thats cool. I DO realize you are not done tuning, and race gas will make your car an absolute animal. FWIW, it's in the low 60's here today and I just went out and ran (3) 6.0's and a 6.1 on my Sumi's with traction issues. I almost always have my DR's on for runs, but I figured hey, lets what it runs on less than perfect conditions. I would think your car on race gas should crush those numbers, assuming my car is pretty close to race gas. The only reason I asked this is because I wouldn't consider slapping turbos on my car, unless I pick up a GOOD half a second or more. I don't think my car is a freak, I just drive it good

we'll see how good you are this weekend homie.

If my car didn't have so many pedals, I'd let you try it

Well,
there are better versions of the 18g and 20gs... but most do not know about it... it does cost more money.. and the proof is in Bobby's old 20g car for example...

one more thing guys,
are you all sure the cars are 100%? ZERO boost leak?
TTboost has a fast car... so does Bobby(the old car) but I can tell you all that its all about the install and preparation....
If you go to the shop to install a kit and they do not pressure test the car from the TURBOS then you do not know where your car is at.... and never will...
We test them every both and usually find leaks.... especially on the bigger set ups....
another thing.... how is the greddy set up? you can get more TQ just by modulating the set gain... where are you shifting? etc etc all matters big time.
