My experience... And obviously on closed roads or track

Commowhores v6 even late models yes but barely

v8 early yes late ss ssv hsv from start to prob 60-80km they"ll pull away

ford v6 yes same as above

xr6 snail dono but the f6 I have but for some reason I manage to keep up until I hit my limiter.

Don't bother with the new 310 I got hurted.

For brief wrx yes. Sti nope. Evo side by side. Ep82 starlet barely but was stock. 320-325ci yes.

Car that I havnt tried against are hyundais.

All above are my experience and from what I know also they prob were all stock

Why don't you just time your car 0-100 or goto the local drag strip and get your 1/4 time then go get some car mags..they'll have 0-100 and 1/4 mile data for most cars on the market. Just borrow some mates old copy to check for older models if curious. Easy. And you don't get busted either!

If you wanted to compare lap times, try www.fastestlaps.com

An 03 350gt will lap tsukuba in the same time as an 03z (being 1min 9.1 seconds).

Of course! :)

But to that point, if you can't launch or shift your car well, then you probably don't need to be thinking about what cars you can beat on the strip, at least not yet.

From memory when i was looking for info on 350gt's after i placed a deposit on one - Auto does 0-100 in bit under 7 secs, manual does it in 6.6 secs.

Imo, one also has to consider how many JDM decals are on the car. Placement of said decals should also be taken into consideration..... e.g. decals on the front of the door yeild more rwkw than decals on windows

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
