I'm with you on this one... ...Went to a Dyno Day at RE Customs and got almost 150kws... ...So I tell people that... ...It's got what it's got...

However... ...If you're a tool in a Comedydor and you ask me at the lights I might just say it's a little shy of 250kws... ...And then let you tear up those sweet looking steel stockies as you try to prove you've got more ba-- *ahem* power... :P

That's pretty much what I did. Up until it was dyno'd, if someone asked me what power it has, I would say "I dunno, never been dyno'd, but if I had to guess... 180?" I copped a bit of shit for that number but it was the best guess I had...

The car was stock (intercooler ONLY), plus I was young and naive!

Then it got dyno'd at 178.2 :D runs a higher then factory PSI for some unknown reason... Man that shut some people up :D

Common man, we all know your car is a bigger piece of crap... even when pitted against the highly unreliable and highly flammable HR31

:P

we shall see who wins when benno has time 2 look at it ... u will cry when if tell how it happened

on a slghtly related topic (not like that matters in this thread anyhow) what really gets me is the discussion with holden owners who think that my 265rwkw is slow compared to a stock SS because holden like to stick pretty numbers on the back... :banana:

that's because the falcodore drivers beleive the numbers on the back is what car can "really" do.

I love explainig to these fools that the numbers on the back is what the engine pumps out not what it does at the wheels and they all go "nah man, that's crap it what it does at the wheels" and then see them get beaten by 'line, stagea, 180SX, WRX etc. and have the look of disbeleif on their faces

Don't the hsv's have a small dyno print out stuck under the bonnet off how many killerwasps the car puts out..?

I think the Corvette has a plarque welded in to say what the kW reading is.

LOL!

yeah but that could be from an engine dyno readout...which while it's good because you know how much kw/hp the motor can pump out, still doesn't relate to rwkw/rwhp

beacuse if it was a read out at the wheels....wouldn't make the badging seem...so fake and full of lies??

i have had heaps of funny things said

"your that evo that is running anti lag arnt you?"

what mods you have? it stock just uped boost and exhuast Bull shit know evo is that quick you must have big turbo and built engine

your that evo with over 300kw

your that evo with over 240kw and running launch control

it dont bother me much anymore i let people talk say what they want i dont even list my mods anymore and what im running just let people talk and let times do the talking

Yep, thats what I was getting at.

Thanks.

OK,

I'm sure youv'e all got a mate or no of somebody like this but what is it with dudes claiming massive power outputs on relatively stock cars. I'm not going to even look into the pshycology of it all but man it pissses me off.

So yesterday I was at a mates shop rewiring a hole heap of stuff and general maintenance and a unnamed SAU member came by in his 33. He was all like what are you putting down at the treds. I said Last dyno was 231RWKW. He was like yeah iv'e got 340rwkw with a stock turbo on 15psi with just a computer, fuel pump and exhaust. I mean I wanted to just get right into it but I thought f*ck it. What the point…. People like that aren't worth it. I mean I have stock injectors and max them out at full tilt. Now how the hell to I get another 100kw down on those injectors. I have the HKS2535, bosch pump, surge tank, fuel reg, computer, FMIC, exhaust, Z32, Boost control, pod blah blah blah and I cannot squeeze that sorta power out…..

Am I missing something or are these people just living a pipe dream.

I swear i can't stand it, It all ways happen's to me, cant stand it from people with V8's say they have like 200+kws from a standed 5ltr with gears, stage 2 shift kit and monster tacho. One of my mates had a VP 5ltr it only made 118kw.

My mate has a 5.7ltr fully work engine forgies soild cam big bux spent on it, The work shop told him it was makeing 280kw. He told a diffent tuner and he laught and said no way put it on the dyno and it only made 250kw. I ve heard most V8 joint's dyno are way out so it looks better for them.

So i guess the V8 fans are liveing in Fantasy.

Ps has any one ever heard a v8 fan say there engine rated at 500hp Thinking that makes the car 500hp at the weels. :P .

the vx seies made around thew 220 rwkw mark in standard trim... there's a thread round here somewhere where all the recent falcodors were dyno'ed cant remember the exact figure.

so 300rwkw is EASY.

but remember they are 1.8 tonnes too...

11's are EASY with an ls1

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
