Getting More Power Cheaply

[paulr33]

fyi a 200rwkw is pretty quick on the street against most cars

the 4.11 diff ratio really makes it a quick car in lateral acceleration vs other heavy cars (that have more power, ie v8s)

i got my gtst with 58k on the clock

and its now got 240k on the clock with the std turbo at 12psi

so reliablity is there as well

Yes you're a testament to reliability Paul and I totally agree , 200kw is plenty quick, mine lasted ages on 11psi and @ 190kws with a stock ecu it was enough to keep up with most..

but the way i see it if your forking out 1500-2000$ for an ecu swap/tune and boost controller may as well spend the extra 1000$ to stick a highflow in there that can handle some extra boost before you spend money on the tune.Its pretty much guaranteed an extra 20kws

Have either of you blokes ran the 1/4 with the 190-200rwkw. Im currently doing said mods in thread, and plan on running around on the stock turbo for a while until i can afford hiflow and ecu tune. Im guessing it would be 13s?

[PM-R33]

With good tyres, perfect launch and a clean run mid to high 13s are doable.

No doubt a few 14s are in order then when i get to the track. Havent done much launch practice cause im too scabby to thrash my tyres haha.
