Bumped into Jim RIchards at the Shannons tent at speed on the tweed over the weekend, he was standing next to his 997 GT2 which he drove in Targa West.

He was a great guy to chat to, i asked him what he thought of the r35. He said it was damn impressive and very very fast. I also asked him about his experience with the r32 and he said that it was an amazing vehicle to race.

We chatted for a few minutes, i told him i was a big fan etc!! as you do. Before i let him be, i asked if he was going to get his own back on the gtr in targa tas, he said "he's certainly going to try" the tone suggested there was a small amount of uncertainty in his 2 wheel drive porsche's capability against GTR and he went on to say how good the 4wd is down there [tas]........

What a great guy to chat to. Im still a big fan..

      enjoy the surge of a turbo, it's fun and part of the appeal of these engines. however I always believed that the torque was flat or diminished directly after the spool so that what comes after is of less interest. I am not a specialist in turbo engines, far from it, but to my great surprise I discovered engines whose torque increases after spooling and the pressure (psi) increases  with the revs. like the curves that I post the cams can play a role in this and the use of a boost control also. Can we limit the psi during spooling and increase the boost level with the revs or this type of curve is unpredictable. in other words, can I create this crescendo of torque after spooling voluntarily on any engine, with the right size turbo etc here are the examples

      Welcome.  There are many similarities and some key differences between the 2. Plenty of information on both in this forum. I hope you find the information you seek.

      hello everyone, an RB26, or RB25 project in the medium long term. I don't know much about this engine or turbo engines in general, I'm here to understand and gain knowledge. I have specific objectives for a project
