I agree but I'm not sure those two things are necessarily mutually exclusive. We don't know which cars are easy on tyres yet but it won't be long till we find out. It still reckon it easier to make a fast car go slow than try to make a slow car go fast.

I know I would rather be driving a car that was quick over one lap and then preserve my tyres by driving sensibly than having a slow car and trying to wring the neck of it to keep up. RBR and Ferrari in a very good position for the race.

www.justintv.com should have it live.

Is the turbo you have specced capable of making the desired power level? Money is best spent getting that right.

Will the bigger fuel tanks/loads be to the advantage of the larger drivers?

bugger.

Politically correct answer Uncle Dunc A blonde and a brunette apply for a job, both equally qualified. Who gets the job? The one with the big tata's of course.

lock the thread this is as silly as blonde vs brunette

A bit of a random insect there sh@un

his car is in Ireland and he works in Greece....

Going to dinner in the city after work Nick so I am no chance.

+3 for a filter. (i will play this with a straight bat)

Unless I intended driving on a dyno, I wouldn't worry about a slight change in power numbers. On the road airflow should be much better than a fan can supply.

I hope you mean salvage the turbo and not the Astron.

There are mixed results for the GT-RS too, like the difficult to reproduce >300rwkw claims. There have been a number of variables from R32, R33, R34 turbine and compressor housing variants plus whatever GCG are doing to them internally from the early days of the "500hp" version that surged to the latest version that seems to be well sorted. Having back to back tested them I am convinced the GT-RS will come on ever so slightly (very slightly) earlier but the price differential makes the GCG turbo the best value in the 450hp range. If you want more power I think this makes an orphan of the GT3071 on an RB25 as it makes more sense to jump to a GT3076 if you want more power. DaleFZ1 has back to back tested (on the road) a HKS2835ProS and a GT3076 56 trim comp with 0.82 internal gate he might be able share his experience. Any of these turbos will be absolutely fine.

I have back to back tested a GT-RS and GCG Hi-flow on a neo engine and it was pretty line ball. The GT-RS had a very slight edge over the GCG unit by making power a whisker earlier. Considering the price differential the GCG unit is hard to beat and I reckon impossible to pick seat of the pants. My money would be on buying a GCG hiflow for 250rwkw (+/-10kw) if you are determined to get more power then this is you are getting into GT3076 territory.

I have one in good nick from a 99 S2 lying around and its yours for $50 if you want it.

I reckon the viewing should be good in the sphincter of the universe, you should be able to choose a seat next to the only other spectator. Say hi to Bernie from all of us at SAU.

a 10mm spacer will be cheap and if you don't need it not much loss. hang on you just said "I work in Greece" I call bullsh1t.............. ............ no one works in Greece)

If you have a look at forced induction and particularly at the dyno section for GTR's you will see that the factory RB26 gear has a fair bit of headroom. If cosmetics are important then that is an entirely different matter.

The factory unit will not be a limiting factor. Why do you need the fuel regulator and injector rail? . Bigger injectors will give you more flow and the factory reg and rail is up to the job. What turbos are you using and what are you goals for the car?

Why? Is yours damaged?

No 260RS for you then.

Did you change your tyres or rims recently?
