I have their VTA adapters and I bought their Meth kit which to be honest ... the charge pipes fit very poorly and I had unobtainium make new ones out of titanium with meth bungs. Posted those on my Instagram.
Awesome info. I should have figured that if the Weistec compressor mod was breaking records, I would have heard about it already, but having heard nothing at all, and then seeing your car with some Weistec gear installed made me curious again.
Yea no Mengineering (Jon) said that really the restriction now is on the exhaust side. Pure turbos seem to be putting out good power with injectors and their tune tho .
Right. I had seen the glacier white pure turbo 720s break into the 8s first a few years ago so I knew the Pure turbos must have been adding a bit of power into the equation. I imagine that with the additional experience gained on the 720s platform over time that those times on the Pure Turbo cars would improve further, but when the stock turbo cars broke through the 9 second barrier too and recaptured the records for fastest ET, no other pure turbo cars came along and took it back to my knowledge so it seemed less necessary. That said, I'm sure the Pure cars are making great power and on the right day could reclaim the record.
What happend was the cars were running out of fuel with the pure turbo upgrades. Mengineering solved that with injectors and now juat recently pure turbo cars are making 1100+ whp . That white one that got the first 8second pass was only 980whp. So we should see some crazy times from cars with pure turbos soon enough.
Hell Yeah! Always been a big fan of Nitrous, but people are either super hush hush about having it or it's just not used as much anymore. To me it's the perfect mod to take a mildly modified car to the next level without all the extensive tradeoffs most other mods have. Glad to see a McLaren running it! What setup? Wet/Dry/Direct Port? Also, happy to hear that the injectors is what resolved the issue with the fuel for the turbo upgrade cars. That means we're going to keep seeing better and better numbers on the 720s. It will be interesting to see what the revised dual fuel pump system in the 765LT can do with the tune, downpipes, meth kit, inlets, injectors, and the Pure Turbos. It stands to reason that it would be capable of running deeper into the 8s with that setup. All that together would run less coin than the roof scoop option alone and streetability wouldn't really take much of a hit at all. Then of course there is always nitrous, but with all that big power, to me it seems like the next hurdle to overcome would become the factory clutches. That is a total assumption by me about the strength of the clutches, but with the setup above, to me 1400-1500 wheel honestly doesn't seem out of reach. Now, I'd be highly impressed by any oem dct clutches sustaining optimal performance at that type of power level. Once figured out however.... Does high 7 sec 1/4s and gear limited top speed 1/2 mile runs sound impossible to you for this full carbon tub platform? As ludicrous as that is, a 7.9 1/4 mile would "only" be shaving 1.4 seconds off of the bone stock LT 1/4 mile time from factory. That's a BIG only, but it may not be out of the realm of possibility. These cars have definitely earned their ufo reputation and shocked us all before. Either way, it sounds like 8.5 1/4 miles are coming in the very near future.
I have a very elaborate wet system by Nitrosu outlet with an lcd screen in the car for a progressive controller that has infinite settings on how you want to run the nitrous . Mine doesn't come on till 6k rpm and if it's from a dead stop then not till 3rd gear. Love it
I figured it was a wet. That makes the most sense. Sick setup! The LCD coupled with the progressive controller makes it so much better that the old time wot switches. To me, your 1/2 mile time and trap speed prove that nitrous is the way to go. The way you introduce it with a window switch at 6k rpm in 3rd is genius. With the tune, that's probably when the stock turbos start nearing their limits so progressively adding in the spray at that point is just perfect. It not only lowers your chances of excessive wheelspin in 1st and 2nd but is doesn't kill the clutch either as it eases in when you're already in gear. Just ideal. Power right where you want it without excessive clutch wear!

Shut the f*ck up , go look at post 22 and above its being talked about. Saying I don't know what I'm talking about is laughable and by not reading the thread you just made yourself look like an idiot calling me out when it's just a few posts above.
He’s Canadian… He can’t be rude, it is against their nature!
