I know 3 cars that run one...admittedly two of those were from back around 2005 and tuning etc has come a fair ways since then. they were quick cars, one of them a 9 second car from Japan that only saw street duties so no dragstrip fan fare here in Aus as the owner kept to himself and just enjoyed it..but they worked real well on those two cars and a friends R34 runs one and it is an animal. I have been driving it a fair bit the past 5 months and frankly for a 400awkws 2530 powered car it is pretty impressive. I have no idea how much of its performance can be credited to the plenum, but seat of the pants tells me its quicker then other 2.6L 2530 cars I have been in. But my comment is pretty unsubstantiated seat of pants claim

No doubt...but sometimes people see a number, spend the money and cant match the result and end up disappointed after spending thousands. Maybe I am wrong, but quoting E85 figures without specifying E85 can lead to disappointed people. I know I was disappointed when I couldnt match others results with 6boost manifolds, Plazmaman inlets and to an extent E85 results. I didnt really make any more power with E85 running the same boost pressure. What it did allow is me to run more boost and make more power when 98 stopped making grunt at 19-20psi. But much of that is probably associated with being a 20 So this thread is full of good results, but after years of people confusing 20G with 25Gs, T67s with T66 turbos etc...its good we now have a good database of power the Mistu turbos can make...so helps to keep the occasional qualifications on results ( IMO )

Just get in touch with local real estate agents. There are loads of holiday places down there. I have hired a few , others more up market places...all are great and have respective strengths. I stay at a friends place these days and pay rent to his family which suits me fine. But it can make sense to get 10-12 people together and make a weekend of it like SAU used to back in the day in 2004-2005 How did the car go?
-
LOL, of course there are no rules. But since E85 gives a bit of free power, until E85 is as common as 98 vs 95 its probably not a bad idea to just qualify the power results as people reading this will start to get stars in their eyes with regards to power they can make. LOL, sure as sh1t not many people will be able to bag 306rwkws out of a std RB20 running a 20G...difference being no RB20 punters bother running E85
-
Probably shoudl qualify that and say it was on E85 which is cheating. I am yet to see enough results to think you can get 300rwkws out of a 20g on 98. 280rwkws is about what I think you can get out of a 20G. Can bag an extra 30rwkws with E85. These days you almost need to talk about fuel before the boost level required
-
What is the car used for? As others have said, the std inlet seems to be a pretty good thing. But at these power levels I am not aware of too many people doing credible back to back comparisons with the likes of Hypertune, Greddy, Nismo etc etc. If I was going to change I would go Greddy if I had over 400rwkws

While we are talking about Lotus drivers lady friend my boy Romain just tied the knot....and he did himself proud with a French TV bird He gets my thumbs up...better than the thing I was trying to tune up after tonight's Hawthorn game

The car has probably had 95% of its life being built and only 5% being driven and dialled in. So I dont think they will look silly if they don't win. Sure they could fall from the sky and be the quickest and win it or they could do an amazing job and be 1-3seconds off a very fast pace...no crime in that. Good on them for putting their money behind their ideas and concepts but.....like you its just not for me. I think the NEMO EVO is one of the cars that I read was designed by Andrew Brilliant and claims 1,000kg of downforce That is amount for a tin top if realised! I just hope the incredible spend doesnt stop the car from being developed and races in months/years to come. Its a shame that none of the R35s that ran in Pro last year are racing again this year Personally I am rooting for the lil GT3 Exige. I understand it actually has some hp now so hopefully fly the rwd flag in Pro class along with the UAS HMAS ZED
-
As impressive as they are for the design, commitment and spend I find some of the extreme cars horrible to look at. Which is fine, I don't own them and they are designed to go uber fast, not be pretty. I would personal;y sacrifice a bit of speed to have a car that is more "garage jewellery" spec But I am curious how much of the extreme stuff is functional aero, we are not talking about Pikes Peaks cars which need uber downforce due to low friction surface and generally average speed less then 130km/h. Someone was telling me a car generates 1000kg of downforce! I cant see that being right, as thats more than an F1 car! So I think some numbers get thrown around and people dont stop to consider the merits of the claims.

Harden up and rip the doors off and just tape some drop sheets across the opening

Come strip mine down this weekend...I would love to get mine down to around 1250kg with no fuel. But will still need carpet and radio etc for street duties

I cant seem to find this event on the CAMS website? -
My bus is 1325kg with 10L of fuel. I was hoping your car was more than 45kgs lighter than mine as the only thing I have really removed is the rear wiper and the AC compressor...So to go to all that trouble for only 45kgs...i think I will keep mine as is and have it semi usable on the street And good work on the sponsors! Import Monster still helping you out? You are going to have to get the air compressor out and give it a lick of paint of some vinyl wrap to pretty it up

Man, I come on to the straight at 180km/h but only hit 235km/h. A few kms down the straight is always nice but I think Red makes all its time out of Siberia up to Lukey....its QUICK though there!
-
If the 20 pops and the RB24 stuff has not sold then I may end up still doing it. But with 300rwkws out of a std RB20 I am happy with the power and response I have at present. I also have an RB25 box which came out of a std R33 which had been running a std clutch so should be in great condition. Asking $1400 for the R33 gearbox

People had been trying anf doing that move all race weekend. It didnt work this time as Maldanado is a bit of a hatchet man and Lewis left him no room, which was silly give he had one and a half laps to go on fried tyres and was going backwards anyway.... I cant lie...i pissed my pants with joy when Hamo ended up in the wall BUT, post race, Hamo was a champ. He wasnt crying wounded victim, he handled the post race really well...so maybe if that attitude continues then I can start to like the guy again Dan was having a good race until Petrov, which was a shame as he would have ended up 7th or 8th

Hear Webber? Seems there is a protest so he thinks he is a chance for 3rd
