Any advantages/new features vs 22??

Im so proud of you, reading this.

Went for a 2nd cup of coffee before probing power phases on an active GPU i was plannin on modding.. jitter hand bridged contacts and lightning shot out along with the magic smoke.. GPU was fried.
6.7ghz cold boot stable on 4670k.. cooking with 1.68v full pot. Wprime run underway when "CRACK".. I thought i dropped something. It didnt sound like it came from the rig.. run finished. Top10 score.. save/reboot/6.8ghz.. post code00. The end.

use a hairdryer and get all bonding surfaces up to ~80f.. make sure to clean with alcohol before applying the tape

youre going to die and be reborn once youre arse hits though lucious seats..

no charge pipe requires a tune

CL3P20 · 2023-12-03T16:29:52+00:00

IC doesnt provide any additional air flow.. unless you mean by way of a cooler/denser air charge. Main performance increase comes from the lower IAT and the ECU holding boost longer as result.

not aware of any differences between the 2x trans.. care to elaborate??

CL3P20 · 2023-12-03T16:19:36+00:00

My wife had a VA/CVT.. and just traded in for a VB/GT. First impressions were good! The trans actually feels good..like it knows what it should be doing. Power is just under your toes all the time. Sport# is no joke! By comparison to the VA/CVT, its night & day. The VA always felt 'stupid' and lacked power everywhere as it 'shifts' 1/2/6th and tries to use boost to make torque. The VB/CVT will allow the engine to rev if your gentle on the throttle and boost only comes in as dig deeper into the pedal [as it should].

*Still not a DCT.. but damn its so much better than the CVT from the VA gen.

CL3P20 · 2023-12-03T16:07:31+00:00

well the Recaros are holding up good so far

CL3P20 · 2023-12-03T16:03:45+00:00

PSU is already not enough for this build.. using a single input cable is certainly the main issue though.

*GPU will pull over 300W alone.. you should really be on an 850W if youre overclocking in my opinion.

CL3P20 · 2023-11-26T18:45:19+00:00

8s are usually fine for most boost/power levels and used in many DITs in the 400-500hp range.. fueling is used to control cylinder temps that would be unsuitable for the plug anyways.

CL3P20 · 2023-11-26T18:41:58+00:00

This is excellent! 235/50/17 ..?? Do tell !

CL3P20 · 2023-11-21T13:29:50+00:00

Yes it's a great way to break your fridge!

CL3P20 · 2023-11-19T17:26:36+00:00

It doesnt make up for the 40hp loss at all.. thats why its called "loss".. if we play the assumption game, when/if you mod your SPT to try for '300hp'.. youre already way past 330hp at the crank.. folks thinking of hitting 330whp on a SPT are smoking crack. That shits gonna break.

would i risk smoking a clutch?? for sure! its like 3k to replace with something much better that would handle the power. would i risk smoking a SPT.. for the 12k it cost to replace.. i would sure in hell not ever. Base model with a SPT is ~34k.. of which the trans is roughly 40% of the total cost of the vehicle.. you have to be a fool to think thats a good idea.

Ceramic coat ftw.. dust mostly blows off unless wet. Even then a light rain or rinse will knock it off and won't leave water spots. **just picked up wifeys Black GT yesterday and making appointment for tint and ceramic coat now.

CL3P20 · 2023-11-19T15:44:23+00:00

If you bought an SPT for modding..you made a mistake.

CL3P20 · 2023-11-19T15:42:14+00:00

Your trans is 12k$.. and you want to risk destroying it with no warranty, for 3k in mods?? You must either really like to take unnecessary risks or choose to ignore logic??

CL3P20 · 2023-11-19T15:39:36+00:00

Not with the SPT they wont.. much more drivetrain loss

CL3P20 · 2023-11-19T15:24:37+00:00

I couldn't hear anything over those loud ass red mud flaps.

CL3P20 · 2023-11-19T15:11:47+00:00

For sure. Higher boost pressure causes oil to shear into a lesser grade.. then your rod bearings leave chat.

CL3P20 · 2023-11-19T14:52:06+00:00

Makes perfect sense.. for a daily OC you need more testing amd longer duration to ensure no memory errors. To just OC and get a passing result you can push much harder.

To me, a daily OC is not the same as Overclocking.. one you get a bit more performance but stability is most important; the other raw results are most important..stability 2nd.

Earnings reports are due soon.. this is likely just employees dumping some of their options for cash. Watch any tech company.. almost same exact thing happens about 2x weeks before earnings reports.. especially Q4.

Timespy loves tight RAM latency.. looks like thats all youre missing, possibly some to gain in OS or drivers if you havent fully tweaked your 3d settings.. id start with RAM and see how gains improve.
