When it was being tuned on the dyno it started to slip at about 9-10psi .
there is only one way to find out..........turn up the boost........
Cars a mighty boy can beat!
I'm with you there mate. 
May the boost be with you.....hey braydon, your is the Carby turbo right? what compression ratio you got inside it? stock or have u lowered it to handle the boost?

I took on a mint condition VL berlina after work last night 
his car was all show no go the thing was so gutless 
little automatic's 
no chance against my 4spd mighty boy (until we got on the main road and i was sitting on about 100 i thought it was time to slow down.
edit - he did get in front of my at one stage, we were racing lights to lights n i let the clutch out a bit slow and got wheel spin lol thats the only time

i remember we draged this corrola ages ago on a highway drag, were in a 180sx CA18DET and this Corrola ext to us givving it a boot full etc.. we give it some gass and this thing had the whole FMIC (180 was alsmost stock apart from exhuast and BOV etc..) and we kicked its arse, we found out it had a fake FMIC, what a dick! u can pick em up at autobarn for like $50 i think and they have lil' leds in them, i got soo many street racing memories...

I've got a question for all of you.
Keeping in mind that a bare-bones stock mightyboy with no occupants or junk in it weighes 580kg at the kerb, what does the car you drive weigh?
Things like body kits, stereo equipment (sub boxes & door reinforcement etc), fibreglass tray covers, turbo kits, neons and whathaveyou all add a fair amount of weight to the car. Heck, even in Brayden's case, even the paint must have added a few extra kg's (we know how thin the paint is! ) Has anyone actually gone to the trouble of weighing their car all modded?
Would an additional 100kg's be out of the question do you think?

I'm going to the weighbridge next week, and I'd estimate a 50-60kg increase maximum for mine.
Weight increases in my case are:
- Turbo + 5kg
- Swaybars + 6kg
- Rims +10kg
- Hard cover / wing +8kg
- Sub, box and amp +15kg
- Side skirts +5kg

would the f8b weigh anything more than stock considering its larger although using the same casing.
Someone asked me the same question the other day. I don't believe so, but I can't categorically state that this is the case.

Even with the extra weight of the turbo, the extra power will easily overcome the weight of all your add-ons. 
And i don't think your rims will weigh that much more than the standard steel ones.

when went to the tip here in hobart they had a weighbridge. the MB (F8B) weighed in at 760kgs i think, from memory, or there abouts. that was with me and my gf, fair bit of crap in the back. no subs just CD player four little speakers, spare tyre .... um that's about it.

Standard rims only weigh about 6kg with tyres, and the 15's with rubber are at least 11kg each.stevan_istheman wrote:Even with the extra weight of the turbo, the extra power will easily overcome the weight of all your add-ons.

As an aside, my sister's bling bling Suzuki Baleno has some stupid ass chromies on it that weigh over 20kg each with tyres, so she pretty much carries the weight of an entire fat person with her all the time. Idiotic if you ask me, it kills the accelleration of the thing.
