depends on the type of muffler on it, size of piping, how many bends are in it, if it has a silencer or not.

if its got an aftermarket boost gauge, it should show you what psi/kpa it hits (1000kpa == 14.7psi) or if it has just the stock boost gauge in the dash, work off this... the +7 at the top is about 14.7psi, and yours will probably hit around the middle mark, so ~7-10psi

....bastard josh, i was going to link him to that site, but i forgot what it was called! its too early.

'boost' is what a turbo creates. a 'normal' engine, ie one without a turbo works by sucking air in, mixing it with fuel, igniting it and using the explosion to turn the crank, thus creating power. so say you had a 5.7L V8, it would at any time have 5.7L of air/fuel in it to be ignited, and obviously more air/fuel will cause a bigger explosion, and thus create more power. now, a turbo engine works by the turbo 'forcing' air into the engine, mixing it with fuel, igniting it and using the explosion to turn the crank, again creating power. this is why you see alot of the turbo engines are alot smaller, ie the 2.0, 2.5, and 2.6L of the skyline, yet they can still pump out the same power as a big V6, or even a V8. say you have a RB25DET, 2.5L turbo. now whilst the turbo hasnt kicked in(ie low revs) the engine will have approx. 2.5L of air/fuel in it to ignite, and create power with, *but* once that turbo kicks in, say you are running 1 bar(14.7psi of boost, ill explain this in a bit) you are effectively pushing twice the amount of air into the engine, so that 2.5L engine is taking in as much as a say a 5L engine. now onto 'psi', the word stands for pounds per square inch. a normal, un-turboed engine runs at negative psi, meaning that the engine is *sucking* in air. however a turbo engine runs *positive* psi, meaning that air is being forced into the engine, and the higher the psi, the more pressure, or 'boost' your turbo is creating. say you had again 2 RB25DET's this time... engine A running 7.5psi of boost, and engine B running 15psi of boost. now engine A will have approx. 3.75L of air/fuel in it at any time, whereas engine B will have approx 5L of of air/fuel in it at any time.. so the more psi your turbo makes, the more boost created, making your engine effectively larger, and creating more power. now i better get an A for this essay...

i dont brake i just let off the accelerator and slow down

2rismo - i just read the first bit about how smooth the crank was and started touching myself.. the pictures threw me over the edge!

just flash your high beam and/or toot your horn instead? alot safer.

what exactly do you mean by 'intake and exhaust hoses' ? you'd wanna hope your intake and exhaust is made of some form of metal piping atleast

exactly FLYIN_HiGh. you carry on about people 'cruisin' in the right hand lane, when it is meant for 'passin', which i dont have a problem with, 99% of the time i 'cruise' in the left hand lane anyway. but when you tailgate someone for sitting in the wrong lane, i fail to see how them sitting in the right lane justifies you being able to perform an illegal act and tailgate. and i *highly* doubt your insurance company and/or judge in court would see this justification either. to simply it all into one sentance, im not disagreeing with your position on people sitting in the wrong lane (no pun intended..) but i disagree with your way of fixing said problem.

and what happens if one of them hits me, FLYIN_HiGh?

now to go against the trend... i dont care if im on/above/or under the speed limit, nor what lane im in, if you tailgate me i *will* slow down. i dont care what your reasoning is, tailgating is tailgating and i slow down infront of dickheads who do it.

i paid $900 for my 9 puck exedy clutch for my 33 gts-t.. 700 sounds reasonable.

i have every ep

so brad, when will i see this thing unleashed on the perth streets?

heh, they are too.. i have used 78 for the dimensions too, else it would give me a wrong calculation, i just put the wrong numbers at the top cheers edit: tis fixed now

XRW - i made up an RB bore page a little while ago... http://members.westnet.com.au/taffyt/RB%20...over%20bore.htm 87mm pistons on a RB26 requires a 40thou overbore.

if they are still available, ill have an uncoated blue, with black inserts cheers

watched it about an hour ago... Bugatti Veyron.... i want one.

if you 'cant remember' how you did 35 over, then its probably a good thing they will take your license, you dont deserve it.

a mate of mine managed to avoid a fine by saying something very similar.. we were driving down the freeway, sitting on 100 side by side, then he drops 2 gears, gives it a quick squirt, then back into 5th. cop pulls him over and he said he was sorry, but he sneezed and must of hit the accelerator, and got let off! how you can sneeze, drop 2 gears, accelerate, then go back up 2 gears ill never know.. but damn he was lucky/cop was stupid.

'i sneezed repetitively and depressed the pedal in a manner that accelerated me approx. 35km/h over the original, legal speed of 60km/h that i was doing before my sneezing attack'

haha tj, how is your "grandads" cressida going anyway? her32 - its even better when the signs say 'trucks/heavy vehicles to use left lanes' and they sit in the right lane.

what about 20's?

i had a 4wd tail gating me up the freeway last night (in the 2 lane section up the very top) so i stuck next to another 4wd and fluttered the brake lights whenever he got close... i was doing ~105 at the time too, so its not like i was going slow either. asshole.

wasteland? last time i checked an R34 was a car topic?!
