I've coded a little helper for me.
Everybody is allowed to use it if he wants^^

class Ragtek_Helper_DataWriter
{
    /**
     * Helper for XenForo Thread Datawriter to create a thread
     * @param array $user
     * @param <int> $forumId
     * @param <str> $subject
     * @param <str> $message
     * @return <array> Thread Information
     */
    static public function createThread($user, $forumId, $subject, $message)
    {
        $writer = XenForo_DataWriter::create('XenForo_DataWriter_Discussion_Thread');
        $writer->set('user_id', $user['user_id']);
        $writer->set('username', $user['username']);
        $writer->set('title', $subject);
            $postWriter = $writer->getFirstMessageDw();
            $postWriter->set('message', $message);
        $writer->set('node_id', $forumId);
        $writer->preSave();
        $writer->save();
        return $writer->getMergedData();
    }
