I agree, I know of a GTR that makes a genuine 550wkw, runs low 11s @ around 125 as the power is just way too peeky and not suited to drags at all IMO.

Just another example of how dyno peek power can mean very little in real life situations.

Watch the videos, Robbie.

Hardly seems like piss-poor power delivery for the car in question.

I'm not sure what your getting at, I havn't made any comments about the car in the videos??? Just that in some cases, some cars 1/4 mile times or mph doesn't reflect the peek power figure measured on the dyno.

Of course its also possible that a car doesn't have as much boogie as the owner might think.

Either way I didn't knock the car in the vids or say that I thought it was a lag monster.

      Hey guys, Just thought it might be of interest to owners of the RB25 det NEO motor, that awesomeness Nitto are in the late process to produce an engine gasket kit by end of Jan 25.  I think obviously there will be an 25det kit too. cheers, Ian

      Oil Control In Rb's For Circuit Drag Or Drift

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
