I actually liked the pro tree for auto. I just let the other car go in first, light the first set of bulbs, build boost, then bump the car into the second beem and be ready to go. it also kinda messes with the other driver since they have to sit there and wait for you to fully stage.

This car is going to be a beast

Interesting.

The motor doesn't pull through the brakes after you built boost? Or are you pulling a ton of timing to be able to do this?

Question wasn't directed at me but this was my 16g auto experience.

Usually all you need is a good set of pads and the e brake to hold the car on a stock size turbo.

Carl's on an EF2, though. I figured that would be enough to overpower the brakes.

My 6266 pushes through Wilwoods at 9psi, curious what it would take for my car. I probably only make what he makes down low.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily

I don't think there's an ef2 on the market for Dsms yet. Think he's still on an ef1. Not that it matters ef1 to ef2 still bigger thank a 16G.

On my old white auto I could build 18 psi before the brakes even started to make a noise like they wanted to move.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily

Hey another guy with an auto chimed in!!

Mine would push thru about 20psi, but I'd rather think about it in terms of TQ. That would be about 37x+ wheel TQ the brakes would get tough to push.

Get it running and we will get it figured out. Vacuum pump will make it easier.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily

So this fat ass auto has now officially gone on a diet.

Things I did when I swapped the interior over to black

-sound detening
-removed some random stuff from behind the dash

Maybe 30-35lbs

Things I just picked up

-Corbeau seats (super light)
-aftermarket wheel (no airbag)
-pulled passenger airbag
-replacing glass in sunroof with carbon fiber

Those 4 items should be around 120-130lbs in weight saved

16x7 kosei k1 weigh 15.5 so that's a 6+lb savings over stock

20lb total rotating weight.

Not sure what stock starting weight (3400?) is but if I can get it closer to 3200 with me in it I'd be happy.

Ill add pics tomorrow

Pull front and rear crash beams? A/C? Could maybe do the rear seat belts too since no one can really fit there anyways haha

Re: 2G auto S/A daily

Wow, you have a decent amount taken out already! Need some more carbon fiber now!

Otherwise, I'm not sure how much you want to leave in it, but floor mats, trunk carpet, privacy cover, lighter battery, blower motor, heater core, fog lights, electric windows for cranks, washer fluid reservoirs, fender well plastics, aluminum radiator, any extra left over wiring may all be possibilities.
