Re: DELCOS NEW RIDE
Mate you need to stop killing T5's and upgrade to something that can handle the jandal.

Re: DELCOS NEW RIDE
yeah the old t5's are just not up to that sort of power ..... someone once told me they are rated to about 220kw .... weird figure but the bloke also has twisted bits to prove it too ..... go the beefed up auto 

No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

Re: DELCOS NEW RIDE
Good for him i'n not a fan of slushies myself, must be able to get a decent gearsack behind it, GM BOP bellhousing pattern. For the power its starting to make a scattersheild might be the go (might become compulsory for the drags if quick enough) and apapt any box you want pretty much. Good time for buying stuff from the states theway the Kiwi dollar stacks against the greenback too if you can get freight cheap enough.

You need to stop needless cruelty to T5's and leave them for folks who can keep them alive.
Man that thing must have some awesome torque.
