you cant just go by some website (with no credibility) and compare that to a youtube video you saw haha i would say in the high 3s because the wheel spin is killing the time

Facts on the RUF are solid:

Ruf CTR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ruf CTR Yellow Bird - Supercars.net

It definitely wasn't 4 seconds. I let off after 3 seconds and the speedo dropped to 100, then started falling off slowly.

I know I'm saying this on a Cobalt forum but FWD FTL. 500whp but only 170hp to the ground.

Watch the vid. The car was doing 120 when I let off. The speedo hung out at 130 and then only fell to 120 when I let off.

Matt -

Any estimate on what kind of power this turbo would produce on 15PSI (stock boost pressure) with just an intake??

In other words I'm just trying to see if you could estimate the net gain going from the stock K04 to this turbo while leaving everything else basically stock.

I don't know what it would make in that configuration. I wouldn't expect anyone to buy this turbo to run 15psi.

This car is making power close to what Ryan was making when he ran against that Cobra.(shift points taken into consideration) With good tires, it would perform similarly. Of course I would get the jump with instant spool.

Look at this RUF Porsche...and this is 469 Flywheel HP listed (less HP than Matts)..same curb Wt as Cobalt:

1987 Ruf CTR Yellow Bird - 0-60mph, 0-100mph & 1/4 mile :: TorqueStats.com

60-100 3.2 sec

Ryan's car has run 60-100 in the high 2s with a shift included. I won't have to shift. If I can get traction in 3rd, 60-100 in the high 2s is possible at the current power level.

Wow, this is impressive. I can't wait for this to come out, time to start saving and working on supporting mods. I wasn't gonna do a turbo upgrade but after seeing this, I just might. Next year. I'd be curious to see a vid zoomed out to show the cluster and the boost gauge to see how fast it spools.

lol, I know. I plugged in the plug under the passenger seat, reset the oil monitor(oil was changed recently), and topped off the coolant, although that light is almost always on regradless of coolant level on my car. On a positive note, there is no check engine light.

With traction, it would pull on that particular Cobra fairly easy. Without full traction, it would net random results.

The clutch has not slipped at all. I even did some dyno pulls with the vehicle weight(and therefore the load) set much higher and it never slipped.
