getting more than 340rwkw

[BOOSTMEISTER]

Here is a plan....

Why do you want 350rwkw, yeh I know you want more power than that other guy but in my mind I would rather have a car with less power that was faster?????

There is nothing worse than beign beaten by something with less power. Take for example my mate in his 180sx...

180@190rwhp = 13.2sec 1/4

R32 @282rwhp = 13.7sec 1/4

I couldn't believe it when he beat me, I have spent heaps more, have more power and yet he beat me.....I don't car cause he's a good friend and I helped him build his car but yousee what I mean. Why not build a car with say 250rwkw (Easy) which will drive better and still be faster than the other one.

Just my 2c worth

now, how can a silvia with 250rwkws, beat a 180 with atm 305rwkws? lets say both cars have very good drivers, driving, and both cars get off the line with little traction loss.

[BOOSTMEISTER]

Easy...one is setup better....has better mid-range or full range power. Perhaps one has a better matched turbo. My friends S13 with Rb20det and very large turbo and more power than mine is still slower than me cause it has too much lag and its power isn't useable.

Sure, if his is perfectly setup then you have no hope but as less powr is cheaper to build then why not give it a go first.

[Nismo_Boy]

true, but I guess it's the wank factor coming in, you know when some ones asks how power your car has, and you can tell them "340rwkws"......you know what I mean.

[BOOSTMEISTER]

Sorry I am not familiar with your methods of releaving frustration.

But I do know what you mean by saying you have lots of power, just hope the guy in the lane next to you doesn't beat you with less power after you tell him how powrful your car is:D

Cam I like your idea I'm going to calder next week and have a guess whos time I have in my sights :_)

cheers

but weight counts heaps also set up

[BOOSTMEISTER]

WHO.... C-mon tell me.....please..... Oh you mean my time....good for you, better hurry though as Jamboree is on the 21st and I hope to knock a good second off my time:D

[kabab]

As soon as i get a clutch ripping out seats etc gonna run 1.2 bar and run some decent times until the turbo dies :lol:

[Birty]

Yeah, that's the key word though, useable power. You gotta decide whether you want a dyno queen or a drag machine.

[Nismo_Boy]

well, I want a dyno queen, that will run low 10 seconds

[fatz]

do some circuit racing with a guy in a 340kw silvia. 100 buck says that you could lap faster in a standard car with a zorst and alittle bit more boost

I'ma corner p@ssy:rolleyes:

[Guest nismogtsx]

I you want that sort of power than you need to do

what i did but with a manual and a bigger wallet

Hang a picture of a Keith Black funny car engine in your engine bay, then you can say you have 4000+HP under the bonnet without telling lies.

Also when a car with less quoted HP kicks your ass, there is no come back for that!

(you just gor beaten by a morris minor cause you couldn't get traction).

Oh yeah well I've got 340rwkw!

Also keep in mind, anyone can pull a good dyno figure, just find the highest reading dyno around and roll it up. Here in Perth I've seen 40 rear wheel HP difference's on the same car but different dyno's. The only way you can seriously compare dyno figures is if both cars are run on the same dyno same day.
