86er

Hello Special K, Thanks fior that helpful reply. I don´t track the car and I´m not that serious on drift. just the occasional short drft session every once and a while. I did instal the Cusco differential cover with increased cooling and oil capacity. The trans oil temps always stay below 100ºc even on 30ºc days during short drifts so I guess im ok at current 262hp Flywheel (dyno). The new Cossie shorter pulley should add an extra 20hp but Cosworth smartly state add at own risk. So its a bit of a gamble on the auto trans but im tempted if I can keep it below 300 fly with the tune. I´ll talk with Matt at Cosworth about it. I enjoy this auto trans a lot but it does limit the build potencial and for this reason alone Í regret going the auto route. Thanks again and all the best. 86er

Hi special K Sorry to hear you need to sell your 86 gem. Ive had mine since 2012 and its still a blast. Mine is a stock auto engine with a stage 2.3 Cossie supercharger and full HKS exhaust. I don´t track the car however I do short drift sessions occasionally. Last dyno was at 262 flywheel HP. I hear Cosworth will release a shorter pulley soon to up the bhp to close top 300. Ive been told you had severe problems witrh the auto trans arround this value on a turbo. The HKS supercharger has more linear torque delivery but the Cossie does give most beans starting from low rpm. I feel my current state is the end of the line for my build although that short pulley with a mild tune to stay below 300 is tempting. Care to share any wisdom on this? Best regards, 86er.
