I've got a 88' Rolla with a 20V Turbo.

I get pretty good traction with my LSD.

I have a aw11 MR2 gearbox and driveshafts.

I'm taking it on the dyno next friday and to the quarter soon after.

What do you guys think I will run.

I run 25psi max............but I think maybe 20-22 when I run it.

It totally depends on you :wink: and the environment. I'm sure you know this though.

Either 12-13(guessing, I don't know) with reasonable launch and nothing exploding.
Or 15-20 with wheelspin, gearboxes shattering, chicken not cooked enough so you get salmonella and have to go to the doctors cos you ill.

Well its weird........cause I ran it at 25psi

and It seems like it went HEAPS harder.....

But I'll find out on the dyno this friday.

Hey I know this isnt the right topic.....

but can I ask a question.

I was racing a guy yesterday and I tried to slam it into fourth and it grinded like hell and I tried to push it in and I let out the clutch.
DAMN.......NO MORE SECOND AND FOURTH.

Now I think it may be the selectors because I can get it into to fourth just barely. Its like the gear is not lined up with the selector.

What do you guys think it could be

Im running a MR2 gearbox with a brass button clutch.

with this turbo when u up the boost that high they are proably likely to break!!.
It will feel faster as it will give u the big push heaps earlier on.
