Torque Steer

Because it makes you look cool, plus you get to drag the conversation onto RWD - which makes you look even cooler.

But normal sane people who aren't still stuck in the 1970s realise it's not a problem and can even be fun.

Its terrible.

I know of several (UK) of FWD cars that make it into the 11's

Depends on the turbo. Not many of them are using the Stock mitsu on the

But it is drivable.

Well no lsd will give you the least problems, and the skinnyest lightest wheels/trres/brakes! Probably not good though!

So is a horse and cart. They dont handle well either. But at least they have oversteer rather than under!

Fun? In what way? bit like a faulty power steering pump I had in my Granada scorpio. It kept deciding to turn right and left when it felt like it too!

No, I dont want less grip haha. N2O however does significantly make torque steer worse I do have to say..

Not sure about on the 9000, but the hot trick for budget fuel pressure uprating was to take a standard FPR from a lucas equiped injection car, and fit it to a Bosch turbo model. The Bosch equipped turbo models came with either 2.4 or 2.6 bar FPRs. the Lucas non turbos models used a 3 bar regulator. I would imagine that as standard Bosch equiped 9k's used similar, with aeros using maybe a slightly higher fuel pressure.

There's Maestros and Novas that do it quicker.

Can't find the link for the Nova but it an 11s.

Even with a LSD RWD can sort of torque steer too, from the back end if you plant it on a slip road with a wheel on the slippy white paint they use for the 100m long give way line.

Noooo thats not steer in the steering wheel tug sense but a satisfying minor change of direction thats easy to control.

rule of thumb power bhp = duty cycle x injector cc/min x number of / 5 =0.85 x 750 x 4 / 5 = 510bhp. (0.85 is a nice safe duty cycle)

increase fuel pressure power = original power x square root(new pressure/old pressure) = 510 x (3/2.6)^0.5 = 547bhp.

Go mad and risk it with higher duty cycle, will need to run up to

But not as much fun as spinning the rears :)

Because spearing off the road and crashing into trees is a bad thing.

It's Received Wisdom. You always have to be emphatic when redistributing it.

Is that the gulf colours V6 turbo? I know the one.

Never said it was, but RWD is not an available option for most people unless they are willing to drive something old and s*it.
