Power....when Do You Think Its Enough?

[INASNT]

that means your tyres need replacing.

i ran 330rwkw and had little traction issues using street 225's.

skated a tad @ the top end of each gear. Otherwise in my book it was nothing.

I've seen poorly setup stock R33's get more wheelspin.

all in suspension and tyres.

As for your question about torque... i doubt many here have had thier motor on an engine dyno to be able to accurately answer that.

Dynos are a tuning tool... worse if you try using the torque figures

What does the R31 have leaf springs??? LOL

Always the funny man

IRS actually, Jap lines were for many years before mine

Tyres are definitly the deciding factor, up over 300-350rwkw

et drag radials or bfg drag radials would help

up near 400rwkw would be mandatory

cheers

good post

im about 200rwkw, and its probably too much for just a street car

just a quick blip and you are pretty much over the speed limit

theres not many roads around where u can enjoy the power without exceeding the speed limit

id love to make more power if i hit the track, but as my line is our daily driver and it needs to be on the road, it probably will never happen

i wont be powering her up anymore i dont think

This is why I went the 3ltr... Improve that 0-speed limit acceleration by minimising lag and increasing low engine speed torque.

Idling up off the line the 3ltr really does haul arse with the skylines low diff ratio's.

Idling and simply popping the clutch with wot will have it accelerating off the line quicker than the usual LS1 V8, the V8's tend to bog down and lag a little before reving up.

LS2's its around par on as they do seem to ave quite a bit more of a lunge at low rpm.

My uncle has a 250i 6speed LS1 that really does feel rather gutless at low rpm compared to mine.

a track car obviously means a high revving 2.7 -> 3.0 with large twins ?

Even then, on slower tracks, it will most likely get munched.

i just meant a car that is only used on the track.

for a perfect street car i think u will need round 280-300rwkw. i have 260 at the moment and it feels a little slow after a while. definately going to upgrade to something bigger

You guys are all crazy...

Ok, i owuld love a GT3 Porka as a street car. It would be lucky to have 250kws at the wheels!

Even with 200rwkws you cant even rev out 3rd gear...If its a street car, the more power you have the sooner you will find yourself in a world of trouble ...which is no fun.

If you use your car for somethin other thenA-B day to day driving, lol the more power the better

hahahahaha its never enough!!!

you'll always get used to power and you'll ALWAYS want more

[nugget400hp]

my vl had rb25, t70, plenum, microtech, fuel system, gate etc etc....

270rwkw on 13psi in a 1300kg car was scary, but it still wasnt enough

enough to light up the rears at over 100kmph but still not enough.
