Mine comes out of the garage and runs till i know the door is down then its off down the road. Maybe 3 minutes and i am out of there. The engine is 17 years old now and still going strong. We have a GReddy sandwich plate with thermostat so it gets temp into it quick, but i cant be bothered warming it up. Just drive it sensibly and it will be fine

was going to ay the same thing lol who could be bothered dragging a GTR out of the garage to go get milk lol

Peter at PMC has built quite a few billet engines that are in street cars and he reckons they are fine.

I don't believe too many know Anthony has done it yet but he has and its all going well so far. Time will tell though if it stays together or not. Be good if it does

Anthony at Dahtone has one running a Tomei pump that to now hasn't had any issues and its making over 1000hp though hasn't been pushed just yet

at $23k for a block, crank, rods and pistons i dont know why you would go cast anymore. Sure you need to warm them up but its a no brainer if you ask me

Interesting. I have been looking at upgrading the 6766 with 1.0 rear end on the S14. I was thinking of going a 6870 but kinda looks like i should go back to a 6466....

haha I am no good at drag racing either so I will stick to being bad at just the one form of motorsport

And my intention wasn't to cause an absolute shit fight, I was trying to stir the pot somewhat though. Dyno's are nothing but a tuning tool but sadly there are many out there that would use this thread as a bible and you really shouldn't. There are way to many variables that need to be taken into consideration which most wouldn't even realise. I cant wait till the drag strips open back up. Sadly Sydney Dragway is about to be torn up and isn't likely to be 100% operation until September which is pretty disappointing given it was shut down for last 3 months due to Covid. Shit happens though

The S14 was always making over 400rwkw on the Advan dyno when I worked there. Took it to Unigroup and it struggled to crack 300rwkw.... Clearly if dyno's don't lie then it must be the operator. Its a little hard in this instance to explain the vast differences in performance isn't it? I am referring to mine and Hattori's cars Whats a GTR weigh? google is telling me 1460kgs.... so it has 60 kilos on the S14.... the S14 is a compete street car, doof doof and spare wheel all get left in place when I race it. its 3100 pounds on the weigh bridge at Sydney Dragway. Throw me in it and its closer to 3300 pounds. So lets compare apples with apples.... mates old GTR went 11.0@130mph with a pair of low mounts on Bob Jane All Rounders lol It made 300rwkw.. Standard bottom end and stock box. One would expect 275rwkw to put on a tad more than 18mph.... the S14 went 20mph faster with 50rwkw difference.....

And this is why i hate dynoes and the black top doesnt lie. If your car only manages to run 146mph with 620kw at the hubs i would be asking your tuner whats wrong with it. We have an S14 that makes 500rwkw @33psi with a 6766 and it runs 138mph all day on low boost.... low boost is about 430rwkw. I havent had it back to the track since we put more power in it and made the 500rwkw but would be expecting something like 144mph with the boost turned up. Correct me if i am wrong but power at the hubs would be worth what, 50rwkw gain? so your cars making close to 150rwkw more, comparing it to low boost on our car, but only runs 8mph more.....

what mph does yours run? have you raced it?

what mph does your car run?

Have you raced it? what mph did it run if you have?

What was the 6870 like? I know I could search this post but who the hell knows how far back I may need to go to find a post.... I have a 6766 with a 1.0 rear and I don't know if the lack of driving but its started blowing blue smoke the other day. highly unlikely to be the engine so it might be time to up the turbo a little
