Focus on fuel consumption
After driving 2 times on highway at 70 and 80 mph, i ve tried to optimize fuel consumption and reach some interesting numbers
With an average of 13.4 to 16.5mpg in 6th gear is pretty good, I think I will not be able to have better values instead of going on a dyno. Photo below fuel consumption in L/100km and vss1 in kph

Cars are meant to be driven.

Hello everyone, yesterday I had 3 gifts for chritmass
1st I finally found the famous reason why there was a boost leak somewhere, the dumpvalve was stucked in the open position...
2nd gift it works so well now that the overboost protection has been activated after having recorded more than 30psi of boost, direct ignition cut-off after a peak of 44 psi of boost. So I lowered the boost duty to stay below 30 psi.
3rd gift following that I tell myself go back home we will not tempt the devil, a last acceleration that I did not log and BOUM my T56 stage 2 died, fortunately the 4th gear survived which allowed me to return home.
I think that during this last acceleration, I made over 1300hp pretty easily, too much for this gearbox which is rated at 1200hp+.
Just disassemble to see exactly what has broken and see with the manufacturer what can be done to get a stronger one ��
And Merry Christmas to all!

Finally removed the transmission, now I know I had too much torque, the input shaft and the 1st gear of the countershaft are dead, the other gears have survived.
Awaiting for an answer from Bowler transmission, so I will modify the torque arm crossmember cause I had to cut it to remove my transmission and I ll add a safety loop.
