A340E and HP questions!

[Boost Lee]

If and when I ABSOLUTELY have to leave right away without letting everything warm up, It will hesitate to shift from 2 > 3, but that's for about 5 seconds of hesitation...then it's fine.

As for what tranny coolers we're using, I'm using B&M.

next question, will a stock turbo spin wheels off the line, from just idle to punch it, (no powerbraking, etc)??? I just bought a 2.8 v6 camaro for 600$, it spins wheels off the line, and my supra didnt. WTF! it has a bigger motor and a turbo, but there about the same weight and all. Not fair! Anf if a good running stock auto wont spin wheels, at what point will it start to, mod wise?

Your 2.8 Litre V6 Camaro has a higher compression ratio than your Supra.

A typical turbocharged vehicle, coming off the line, given there is no 2-Step, High stall or brake boosting, WILL be doggish off the line.

So...No, a Stock Turbo with an A340E will NOT spin off the line...You might get a chirp...but spinning? Eh-eh.

Now...speaking of my car with the 60-1 CT..........Assuming I don't build boost, I come off the line slow enough for a moped to pass me...but it's once I start boosting that I start spinning.

Turbo Lag - Giving V8's a benefit of the doubt since 1987. :icon_razz

You also have to remember that your camaro is one wheel drive. Another thing is why even worry about spinning the tires. That is so 80's. Spinning the tires just means that you have a lack of traction.

Jdub, could you post a few pictures of your cooler/filter setup?

v6 = One tire fire!

My moms Malibu WOOPED! a v6 Camaro, then when i got my 88T i beat him without going past 3500rpm by even more.

edit: camero was a 98 auto (i think it has the same engine as the Malibu, 3100)

How is spinning the tires not cool!! or the 80s!! lol.

 

[Isphius]

and its not that fast, it wont beat much but it will still spin wheels! not fair!

 

[suprarich]

When I was 16, I would worry if my 68 ss chevelle would spin the tires further than my buddies gto. Since 15 years ago, all I care about is hooking up and launching a car. Spinning the tires and worrying about if my car will or not spin a tire is right up there with white high top sneakers and 6x9's in the rear dash pad. I have a 6 second nearly 200mph in the 1/4 mile bike, and it will not spin a the tire when I launch. Doesn't make me feel bad for one second. Who cares if a v-6 camaro will spin its one tire or not.

 

[Isphius]

FYI, the car spins both tires, i checked. You guys just dont get it though. Lol. I have a badass mk3 supra sitting in my driveway, i go to drive it, who cares if it is slow or fast. Its a cool car. If i floor it and it just goes, its just boring. Im not a "numbers" guy, Its all aobut fun factor. I dont care if i make 450 hp or can go 200mph in the quarter while hooking up and never spining a tire. But i guess its just cause of the massive weight and low gear ratio. Like i said about my NA, 4.3 lsd ftw!! But to the more important topic. Just think about it, while not drag racing for time, when was the last time you spun wheels and it wasnt fun!?!?!

 

[Isphius]

98+ was the 3800 sII, basically a 5.0 tpi v8 cut down to 6. i belive a supra T would smoke one. Its like 200hp and 225 lb ft of torque or something in a 3600 lb car. Not bad, but not good. The 3rd gen had the 2.8 or 3.1(wimpy 60 degree block), and the 93-97 had a 3.8 and a 3.4(90 degree block). Everyone that has a v6 maro thinks its a freakin hotrod, though. So i hate most of the owners. And this is my GFs v6 camaro, so its not really mine, but its still pretty dam cool. There is a 3.4 60 degree block that is a direct swap into the 2.8 car, all the accesories and intakes and stuff. And BTW, i shit stomped an older 305 camaro and a newer 95 or 96 3.4 in my NA supra, so there not fast. lol.

I also have a 550hp big block impala, it spins the tires so much trying to leave hard from a dead stop that it is annoying. On and off the throttle, or babying it from a stop and then rolling on the throttle. Sure, it fun sliding a car sideways around a corner or whatever, but When I stomp the gas, I want to be set back in the seat and launch. Not sit there and spin. To each their own. Have fun!

3P - Here's a pic of the tranny cooler...it is forward drivers side wheel wheel. The pump output to the cooler is the forward hardline on the tranny...I cut the hard line and routed the stainless steel hoses along the drivers side.

I don't have a pic of the filter...it is a PermaCool filter head installed in the feed line from the tranny to also protect to cooler. I used a PureOne filter for the initial install and changed to a Trasko filter at 500 miles or so. I don't like the current location of the filter under the car...I'm going to re-locate the filter under the AFM and re-route the lines.

Thanks Jdub. I need to get something better than the factory rad cooler. Did you daisy chain the external cooler with the rad cooler?

 

[jdub]

I'm using a CSF radiator...no tranny cooler in the rad. But, you could.

Haha, i know what your saying. My supra does take off quite well though. It puts you back in the seat pretty hard and its almost stock. Next time i drive it its going to be with a brand new HG and a 3 inch ddp and 3" exhaust with no cat. Im sure i will hit fuel cut now. But, as long as we understand each other with the burnout thing, haha. Also, i want to ride in that impala. Not many people ever get to feel the massive torque of a BBC! I rode in a 69 chevelle with a 396 4 speed and i have been hooked ever since.

 

[Isphius]

A new question/revival, Does anyone have the 4.3 rear in their auto sup?? Im going to buy a 4.3 NA and maybe swap the rears. Better fuel mileage in the NA and better take off with the auto T.

 

[Ric]

Most hp an unbuilt A340e can hold is around 400whp

 

[Boost Lee]

^Not necessarily.

There's a member on the boards that did 491rwhp with a completely stock A340E...nobody is to say it lasted too long, but it still held it.

Some have failed before 300rwhp, some have made it close to 400rwhp...

It's ALL a matter of how good of shape it's in & and whether or not you have a hefty tranny cooler. (Raises hand).

I flushed out a spare stock oil cooler, and I run it inline with the factory/radiator cooler. Where it sits in my bumper, it's right out in open air. I built the trans about 4 years ago, and the fluid still looks new. Granted, I only drive it 6 months out of the year.... But it has seen at least 30-40 drag passes in the summer. I have basically the same setup as jdub.



How the heck did I miss this thread, it's one of my favorite subjects:nono:
