Seat of the pants is subjective - its easy to be blown away by an angry power curve, or similarly to be unimpressed by a linear curve. As keeps coming up - you cant compare loading a car up on the road in 5th gear and achieving an artificially low boost threshold to a power run on the dyno. What is it that you want to see?

I see webber in a similar way to the dockers, you want them to win and do well (who knows why) - but at the end of the day you know your going to be disappointed.

If you've run them back to back where are the plots to back up the claims? I've compared plots of a properly setup hks t04z on a full house jun 2.7 and it makes a bucketload of power but I wouldnt in any way suggest its more responsive or has better mid-range than the smaller gt35.

Any egt logs I can compare mine against?

.... or you could just read the thread.

How did you measure this? I agree but would like to know if the nismo item makes any difference. edit to ask, will the vipec/link allow individual cylinder corrections based on load?

huh? cheers

pre top gear

Nice work - would like to see a plot if you have one?

pm-r33, neg its a stagea 1360kg + me (80kg) ran 121mph with dyno figures ranging from 360rwhp to 400 depending on dyno.

I think an experienced driver would enjoy the wet, just takes the track from being fun to downright scary. And the upside is the bikes stay away - once the day got sunny/dry I didnt get a single clear lap. Btw if your considering the golf - maybe look into the scirocco (sp), not sure if its any quicker with the same engine etc but it just looks soo damn good.

Cheers, that one prob turned out the best, got hundreds more Will throw up a few more of the ok ones later tonight. Was tough getting decent shots with the kit lens at full zoom on a dark/overcast day.

Yep and it was a wet lap

The Satuday was foggy/overcast and very wet which suited me fine watching a 4hour race from behind the fence There was rain overnight so the Sunday morning was very wet and cold (stuff all grip) but within a few hours the track had dried out in the sun and it was 20odd deg - in the end I got in 11laps, 2 were wet (before 830), one with a drying line and the rest completely dry. There were three hour long track closures during the day to clean up big spills and for most of the day various parts were flagged so it was difficult to get a complete clear lap in - despite that I could have easily done twice the laps if not for a km limit on the car (11laps totalled 260km including two trips for fuel) and knackered tyres that I had to spell for 30min+ after each lap (they'd start to go off by the 6-7k mark towards the end of the day). The track was open from 8am till 720pm. I found pushing on the wet laps was pretty daunting - the golf wanted to swap ends under brakes, but the upside of a wet track is its completely empty while the bikes and guys on r-comps wait for it to clear up. Pushing the golf in the dry was the most fun I've had in a car by a long shot. btw I take back the cheap part - not even close!

What was the number in kronor before taxes etc?

No, I'm just regurgitating what someone else said. I've never driven a 350rwkw car.

Suprised you let the tuner 'tune' without some form of knock detection, doesnt cost much to make up a det-can. Given the custom plenum I'd also suggest monitoring individual cylinder temps - even stock plenums need large corrections, I imagine a custom job would be much worse. The innovate stuff should be nice and cheap for you over there. That'd be handy but from all accounts they're a little difficult to set-up.

Interesting you say that, given the same power the lighter car should walk away. 350rwkw isnt all that hard to put down once your rolling and have half decent rubber.

As nice as it looks, isnt the above just going to heat your intercooler up to a nice 80odd degree's?

I've got an external 044 and 700's with over 400rwkw, original tuner said it was unsafe (inj. duty cycle) and recommended I upgrade before hitting the track - second tuner said it was fine. Both are well respected so obviously your going to get different answers! Personally I'd prefer the headroom and will be going bigger.

I went with 750's and now looking at having to move them on for something bigger - given hindshight I would have saved money if I'd gone 1000's first time around. What ecu are you using to be concerned about injector control?

huh?

I'd go 1000's, straight up.

Another option is racetech and I'd say anything with wings would be over the 1200mark. My last fixed back was pretty uncomfortable so I'd be heading to a few places that carry stock (ie gogear) and pick the one that you fit the best.
