I pulled 242rwhp with only a pod and 3' exhaust out of the turbo in an auto with the rb2.5t on psi s dyno in perth

then had a front mount and eboost and did 244rwhp at 8 psi and then 250 at 10psi on xspeeds dyno

both places said they had never seen an auto pull that much with thous mods only

Ignition system seems to play a part in the power differences perhaps.

I notice that many of the curves are similar on 240/50rwhp cars to the 300ish ones, with the difference coming in up top. If the spark isn't as clean this could account for the power difference. The coils and wires under the cover get very very hot and this effects resistance and reduces the efficiency of wires over time with heat cycling.

no way r33's can make that much power.

the above poster is claiming 267.2rwhp on stock boost stock turbo, HELLO THATS IMPOSSIBLE.

r34 gtts with running 12-14psi with powercf, hi flow exhaust etc etc are only making 260-270HP on the stock turbo.

I am pretty sure that 25 neo's can only do 195-205rwkw max from stock turbo.

Thats 261.50-274.90rwhp.

how is an older less powerfull rb25 going to put out more power with fewer mods?

it isnt, stop talking shit.

or point me in the direction of threads of people posting dyno sheets to show otherwise.

i dont know why yours didnt make more then 270 rwhp

Shall I direct you to threads showing you this? how about you go to a workshop with a database of dyno sheets and look at them?

I didnt even own the car when it made the power, so i have no need whatsoever to talk it up. Those numbers where made on a DD accredited dyno

The car had

A garrett cooler, not gtr sized, just under.

A mettams morley dump and front, leading into a apexi cat back. 3 inch hi flow cat

11 psi

Walbro fuel pump

KN air filter

s2 motor

manual

standard timing

272 rwhp.

www.antilag.com/personal/tom/my31 for pics of the engine bay etc, so you can see it wasnt packing a hidden t88 etc.

tj

and back to the argument ... 319 rwhp is very very very hard to believe

umm ok...

im not saying 319rwhp is possable...

but why have many not just one or two, rb25 run between 280-300rwhp on stock turbo?

just because ur r34 didnt make it, doesnt mean its not possable for another rb25 power cars to do it

Hey James! man hows that happening? I only got 202rwhp with 3" exhaust & POD! Damn I'm pisst! What PSI was it at b4 FMIC etc?

Back to the basics,Im sure there not stock but they sure look untouched.

NEO engines have nastie combustion chambers for polution reasons and will ping at less timing than an R33 RB25.

Some shops are not aware the NEO head is different,A few weeks ago a shop removed the head of a NEO fitted to an R33 finding it looked different told the guy the head was an NA head and had to be replaced.

So yes theres lots of misinformation around.

Some strange things have happend to new cars like in the early 70s Fords GTHO Phase 4 was shelved by the government (AS were GM etc)

so ford stuck some parts on a 2 door falcon and tagged it RPO87

the rest ended up in ZF Fairlanes without the new owners ever knowing

and over the years we saw stockers with Noddy iron 9in diffs winged sumps and 4V heads with 780cfm Carbs etc so who knows what may have happened with these cars,Prolly modded very early in life by very carefull mechanics?

got to remember that the dyno is a tuning aid at the end of the day. There is some value in relative comparisons but, not something people need to get hung up on if their car is doing what they want on the road or track. If your tuner is handing the car back to you with improved power characteristics this is what matters.

Some R33 gtst 200rwkw+ cars have run against my old R33 gtst (dyno of 170rwkw) and had an ass whipping both in 1/4 mile time and terminal speed.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
