Sad and oh so true

Quit being a total phaggot and pretending you are building a car you need to keep secret Birds. Domenic Toretto is NOT going to race you for slips.

I'm putting a spoon engine in the GTR

[emts]

not sure it a secret

Nah

Mine is a 26/30

He did tell me about that one though

Dropped in on him today to give him a push, fkin busier than ever. If you say tall guy from the east with the blonde gf he'll know who you're talking about...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

So it is a 26/30

WTF do you want with GTSS?

It'll be a response monster but they'll fall over up top i reckon

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Q&A scandal 2.0 comin' up

[Birds]

I don't care about the top end just yet and the car came with GT-SS...a top end that dies off at 400awkw is still a fast car. Is it fast enough so we can fly away? I don't know.

Everyone goes for 11ty unusable gearbox breaking kw in their GTR...rather do something cheaper, different and friendlier for the street. Acceleration in any gear at any rpm, that's the plan.

Tbh my car fell apart with a GTX3076R which maxes out at 400rwkw (on manual) because it was too responsive. Having to set a rev limit at 5900 rpm is kind of lol.

Would suspect same issue with GTSS-s and a RB30, but maybe not. You gotta give it a go, and the turbos are already with the car so f**kit why not?

I had other issues relating to dat dere 14s pass

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

It's just a preference i hold for runing through revs.

For example, I preferred my car to Al's. Both 330rwkw but his was on it by 2k and over by 6k whereas mine was 3k to 7.5k

Both massive fun... very different animals though

And yours is only a 2.8L as well!

I thought it reached max power well before 5.9k rpm?

You really think youll hit 400awkw? Thats more than just a decent motor to get that far

[Birds]

Swapping down the track isn't too difficult...GT-SS hold their value well and usually worth a little more than -5, so I'm looking at the cost of a turbo swap and a retune for bigger turbos if I want more power. I love my responsive GTS-T though and would want a similar set up in the R.

Only need to put low boost through a 30 to get big numbers, plus it'll be E85 after the 98 tune.

Barry believes it, with E85. RB26s with 98 make about 340-350 with GT-SS.

Nice try but figures were backed up on a roller dyno

have you driven a 3.0 RB?

the difference the displacement makes is a lot more than you would expect.

it should be a fair whack more responsive than your gtst

Al's car is like a freaking V8

[Birds]

That's what I want.

Being able to take off in 2nd gear is going to be great.

[Birds]

It's also going to be Tybe B cammed so that should change the dynamics a bit...

Interesting

Steve 34R aka R8TED only made 317kw on the racepace dyno on e85 and -9's. Not sure what the norm is, maybe Matt Borci will throw in his 2 cents

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

i'm just going to throw it out there... but has anyone considered that the RP dyno might just read lower than others?

(not that it matters in any case)
