"ALL" horsepower figures quoted by any car/vehicle manufacturer is flywheel and "IS" industry norm, for "RATED HORSEPOWER" to be at the flywheel. I would have thought any dumass would have known that.

um, that's nice.

But we don't live in America.

"We" (being the people of Australia) use the metric system.

I would have thought that any dumbass would have known that. :rofl:

It's a bit hard to gauge a comparison of figures when factory numbers are based on numbers at the fly.

I've seen plenty of RB30et setups without coolers.

Unless you look under the bonnet, you would have no idea they were turbocharged.

As far as the VLT conversion goes, you only need a cooler if you want to run more than standard boost.

30kw may look like a small amount on paper, but when you're behind the wheel you can feel the difference. (30 was just a conservative number i plucked out of the air)

This is just the starting point... I wasn't saying "you wont get more than 30kw from a turbo set up"

In fact, if 30kw was all that was gained, then something probaly isnt right.

There are also many ways to hide an intercooler so that it's not a "fashion accessory" for the car.

What are you trying to say???

Next time you have a few spare seconds, go to ANY car dealership in AUSTRALIA and pick up a brochure on any car in their range and have a look at the specs.

In these specs you will find "POWER OUTPUT" or words to that effect and it will then show a figure in kilowatts.

What in hell do you think "power output" refers to? other than HORSEPOWER. Horsepower isn't metric or imperial, it's a statement of a measure.

As I just found on another thread, if you don't understand the terminology, don't shoot your mouth off, or try to take the micky out of someone that does understand.

What started all this off from you was my statement on "RATED HORSEPOWER" and all rated horsepower is at the flywheel, not delivered to the road as you want to refer.

We go to dynos and get rwhp, vehicle manufacturers do it all on engine dynos when the engines are first created on the bench and is the case in most quoted horsepower figures around the world. Metric or imperial.

Matt,

Yours stands out like the proverbial dogs and your biggest problem with being a sleeper is, you only have 2 doors.

wasn't saying it was a sleeper just that you have to look twice to see the cooler and its not a small one. :)

Horse power is the power required for the performance of work at the rate of 33,000 English units of work per minute; hence, it is the power that must be exerted in lifting 33,000 pounds at the rate of one foot per minute, or 550 pounds at the rate of one foot per second, or 55 pounds at the rate of ten feet per second, etc.

hmmmm strange... i don't see anything metric mentioned in there?

Give up.... you're tripping over yourself.

While you're at it, enquire about some anger management classes.

Very good!!!!!!!

What dictionary did you get that from, ahhhhhhh!!! let me guess,

The Macquarie Dictionary, 3rd edition, Australia's National Dictionary, page 1034, paragraph 22.

You show amazing resilience, you actually have the fortitude to look up the meaning of a word in a dictionary and then be a typical woman and quote this meaning TOTALLY out of context.

You blonde or something??????????? as that's what I would expect a blonde to do, she's on a loosing streak so has to resort to a dictionary for solace.

You started this sh!t fight and now your out of your depth, you tried to hang me out to dry on a quote, I said that all rated horsepower is at the flywheel and the terminology "horsepower" is a term used to provide the output of a given engine and then "you said we are in Australia, not America and we talk Kw here", what's that got to do with the price of eggs in a fish market? You were trying to tell me that my talking horsepower was out of place, as we are metric in Australia.

Let me tell you this, long before you were born, Australia with it's English heritage quoted everything in HP, which is a fictitous figure that bares no resemblance to fact and hence, the motoring industry dropped it for something more realistic. Power, or power output was and is now used, be it in Kw or BHP, it's still a "power output figure".

Why can't you accept what is fact and why am I your preferred target, someone else in this thread referred to you as a "moron" for not understanding what I meant, yet I don't see you attacking them.

What's your problem???????

Go away and get some facts, or better, just something intelligent to say before you establish yourself as a "LEGEND IN YOUR OWN LUNCH TIME"

Who cares.....

I would much rather a VLT setup then my GTS2 motor, more power to start with, and more power is easy to come by, my friend's VLT setup on a NA block has 226rwhp with just cooler/3"zorst and some boost.

screw the topic...knock it off the pair of you....sky031 u should know better ur a mod remember?

SKY031 a MODERATOR :headspin: :usuck: :bs!: :dump: :spew: :( :blah: :fart: :jester: :throwup:

That's a JOKE, they must be hard up for moderators on this site if she gets to be one.

why am I your preferred target..blah blah blah  

Go away and get some facts

You are my prefered target, because you are disillusioned about the power of a GTS2.

Facts are this.

There is no way that a motor built to GTS2 spec has a power output greater than an RB30ET. (or RB30e+t)

The info i pasted (oh shock horror, imagine using the internet for research purposes!) came from www.dictionary.com ...but if you pasted the words into google, you would have found that out.

It doesn't bother me a bit if people want to resort to name-calling.... I left primary school behind a long time ago. (unlike some people) :D

P.S,

If you want to quote people, learn how to use the quote function.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.

      Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
