Will HKS 2530 give me 250rwkw

[Guest INASNT]

just a quickie!

read the latest zoom magazine and under the tech files the 'brains' car made 240rwkw at 1.4 bar boost with a 2530 on a rb20det.

hmmmmm

I reckon that's definately a three ply extra soft peice of paper that dyno was printed on.

:bahaha: u recon zoom lye hey?

[rev210]

well unless the 2530 is not really a 2530, they flow less than 350HP @ motor.

but remember the japs love u under estimate everything

[rev210]

No... we just love telling bulldust.

If I had a dollar for every poor deluded sucker who claimed this or that power and for some unexplainable reason couldn't get a corresponding 1/4 time or for that matter beat other reputedly lesser powered vehicles in any manner of accelleration test.

If in doubt..doubt some more.

INASNT & rev210,

don't forget that both Garrett and HKS (basically garrett) rate the supported power levels of their turbo's at 1bar of boost.

Also, as mentioned, if they 'apparently under-rate' the power levels of their turbo's, ~250rwkw might actually be possible at 1.4 - 1.5bar (~20 - 22 psi) along with modified cams, decent intercooler and very very fine tuning which i believe is most important and of course the fuel system to support this boost.power.

But again, as mentioned, although possible this would be running the turbo way out of its efficiency range, so u could go for something like this and push it hard to get your power, or you can get something slightly larger and make the power easier and more efficiently.

RS500,

I won't tell people not to dream but, the 1bar figures assume 0% flow losses to your motor and ambient s.t.p. In the real world you would need more boost than 1bar to achieve the quoted figures let alone higher.

It is better to expect less and be suprised with more.

Try testing the theory in real life and be very dissapointed in every aspect of real performance. Building dyno daisy's is not my bag baby.

rev210,

correct, i forgot to mention that these power levels rated at 1bar are also dependant on a high volumetric engine efficiency.
