Didn't Eddie Tassone from Active Automotive in Perth pull in the vacinity of 1200 - 1400 rwhp at the Summernats about 4 or 5 years ago using unleaded with his iron block 383 with twin turbs in his Commodore. I remember there was some fanfare about being a world record at the time on unleaded.

Ye and if it was the thing im thinking... it was a bung reading as a dyno sensor was 'broken'.

Although 800rwhp if your going to pick something like Sunoco, i reckon there would be something higher somewhere

An excerpt I found relating to the 16th Summernats:

All day Saturday and Sunday engines roared in the Horsepower Heroes Dyno Cell. On this Summernats stage, street-legal cars running pump gas are strapped into a caged dyno cell. With spectators stacked in the stands above, owners compete to find out who really has the most powerful machine.

Last year everyone was shocked when a Holden ute pushed the dials well beyond the 1,000hp mark and a rotary Mazda made 500 plus ponies in the new Sport Compact class. This year, three competitors in twin turbocharged V-8 GM Commodores came into Sunday morning's final with 1,100-plus horsepower. Eddie Tassone's gold 383-ci small-block powered Commodore eventually took the trophy with1,376 horsepower.

nah, it made 1700rwhp with a bung air temp sensor on dyno defaulting to 240deg c

actually makes a little over 1000rwhp on what i believe is pump fuel

yes, wich is 98ron premium unleaded (pump fuel). not a race unleaded, is this so?

ps. lois, where did you get the borg warner?

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
