very nice!

I just flew in back to Perth today and picked her up from Galvsport.

She does indeed pull very hard with plenty of mid-range to reflect the dyno tune of 636 at the hubs on 25 psi using E85 fuel.

Very very tasty work/mods Gavin, you've done exceptional work improving the whole look of the car!

I couldn't see any photos of the sump...?

One of these would finish off the engine bay perfectly IMO

Thanks for the compliment mate. It is using a RIPS sump.

Yes I do intend to order and fit one of those to finish off the engine bay.

636hp or 636kw?

I know you are probably too busy driving it to be looking in here lol but tell us a bit more about when it comes on in what gear etc?

636hp...... I wish it was kw lol

I haven't really paid specific attention as yet. Though the power band is from ~4500rpm - 8000rpm+

First gear doesn't put much load on the engine due to the 4.375 diff ratio though both 2nd and 3rd gear is all you need to be hammering along.

In hindsight I believe some more aggressive cams (Tomei Procam 270 / 10.8?) would have been better for peak power output though it drives nice and sedately off-boost and is primarily a street car so I am more then happy with the current configuration.

post a vid prease

Only reason I ask is that I got 610hp on a 2.6 with 24psi and E85, your power just seems a bit low for the 2.8 and the turbos thats all?

With the 2.8 it has improved off-boost drive-ability and increased torque throughout the rev range. Though in terms of peak hp I don't think it will make much of a difference increasing engine capacity by ~10%?

There is more in it if I increased the boost I suppose? Though I am more then happy with the current power for now.

Gavin Beers R32 GTR with a very similar setup made 670hp atw on 27psi on E85 so it isn't too far from what you would expect? (vs 636 @ 25psi)

A lot more to it than just "x turbos plus x boost = x power"
