If only we had all heeded that advice...

Thanks chaps, I'll have a look into that.

Or use the likes of Monzo, Revolut or Starling, that way, you get the best of both worlds.

I knew this was going to happen at some point...

Keep us abreast with how it all goes! I'm definitely interested.

I am aiming for the most responsive four figure build, mechanics and physics permitting, of course. That axiom was primarily concocted to keep the masses hooked on large capacity engines, in the face of increasing fuel prices. Though, much more efficient technology now exists to allow us to extract more more power from far smaller engines. I do intend in taking part in a few drag racing events but above all, it will be a street car. I feel that without the high stall torque converter, I'd be stuck with ridiculous amounts of lag, a high stall simply skips all the lag of a big turbo auto and drops me straight on the naughty side of the power band. If the heat can be managed, what's there not to like (aside from the obvious increase in noise)? The box was rebuilt by the company SRD use for their built autos. From my very limited experience with the box, given the current climate, I have been extremely impressed, especially, at how quickly it now changes gears! Without any exaggeration, the rate the gearbox now shifts through the gears, whether in auto or manual flappy paddle mode, rivals the rate at which the ZF8 box in the much newer cars I've owned and driven does. As for the uprated parts, they were not Titan branded. They were imported from the USA, and I'm sure Lee or someone from his team can correct me here, but they are the same parts used by ATF Speed, as made famous by the 'Baltic Supra'. Ultimately, I am happy to see how the box holds up. If it blows then it blows, I guess, and I have already made my intentions known that I'd be sending the box to ATF Speed if it does end up needing a further rebuild in the near future. No idea about whether it's running a thermostat (what does that even do?) but it's currently running two Setrab 13 row coolers. I may decide to add another when I start increasing the power. It's only running a modest 700hp set up, at the moment.

They look awesome! Can you make one for the tiptronic?

How would you ensure the concentration of the mix?

So reliability is questionable? What's a NA 1?

Hmm, horsepower in a bottle... I may decide to use nitrous to aid spool but I wouldn't want to use it as a standalone system without some form of mechanical upgrade, in the form of a stroker kit, or otherwise. I already have an E85 capable fuel system, what do you mean by switchable?

He did, in an email to me!

I like torque, hence my interest in a 'stroker kit'... only concern with an auto and a high stall (3800) is how it will deliver that power to the road without lighting up the rear wheels and/or breaking something?

I didn't take those photos! The gearbox specialist did... hopefully they didn't assemble the box in complete darkness too...

I'll definitely have a look into it, thanks! That Titan box was more or less ruined by the time I got back from JM Imports, trust me, it didn't need a stroker kit for the KO! As it transpired, a genius, for reasons unbeknownst to me, decided to use longer than the factory bolts to secure the sump and (must have) used an impact wrench to screw the bolt all the way in to the geaebox housing, cracking it in the process. The same genius (must have) realised his mistake and attempted to conceal it by, literally, cementing the sump on to the gearbox housing. This obviously didn't survive the journey back as the car was sitting in a pool of transmission fluid the following morning. It goes without saying, the box was then completely overhauled with a new donor housing and some tasty Stage 4 upgrades as most, if not all, the clutches were completely burnt - images below:

Is this the one?

Thank you for your comprehensive response bud. Out of curiosity, in terms of cost, primarily because Noz mentioned it earlier; on average, how much does a stroker kit add to a normal forged engine build? As for your street 700hp build, I think you'll need to go with a 6262 at a minimum to hit your desired output. I'm running around 700hp at the moment and my 6262 is holding the power strong to the redline without any pull back or loss in power. I'm also on full boot at around 3.5k with no head work whatsoever.

I've dropped him a PM, thanks guys!

Thanks for the information chaps. From my understanding, a stroker kit isn't really required for anything up to a 6870 size turbo. Also, considering I have a high stall TC and VVTi, I won't really benefit much from the low down gains...

Wouldn't surprise me at all...

Does he even exist?

Still a shame...

What a shame.

Sounds like a very interesting watch. Isn't removing it an infringement of our right to free speech? Anyway, I watched another video not long ago which spoke about the similarity of some sections of the virus with the HIV virus... so sounds plausible. Also the the existence of the lab in Wuhan which has been poking the coronavirus beast for years, its proximity to the epicentre and the absence of patient 0 appears highly suspicious and indicative of a cover-up of a potential leak...

Are they worth it? What are the pros and cons?

Wow, that video has been taken down and the uploader's account blocked!
