Forgive my aweful ignorance about dyno's but how is engine hp measured and why is it more accurate than rwkw? The car is one of the generals finest.

Cool a few replies.... A couple of things: Its not skyline - the significance of this is that the engine will be getting a pod and a 3" exhaust (the air box wont fit and I need a new exhaust anyway) Meggala - I have read your site, several times Sydneykid - I am doing all the work myself. Fair bit of work in this project. Pretty sure a GTR 'cooler wont fit. ATM I have a VR4 cooler 'cos its about the biggest I reckon I can get in the front without going custom made. As for the rwkw vs fwkw thing. I know its dyno dependant but I only specified rwkw to try and keep all the replies referenced to the same point.

Hey guys, I was wanting some thoughts on a power target for my RB20DET project. Say you were given the task of putting together an RB20 engine/gearbox package for a 1200kg car, What sort of sensible rWkW would you aim for and how would you do it? This sounds a bit open ended so consider the following limitations: * The car will be an every day driver, it has to be good to drive in traffic and reliable. If its a pig to drive its useless. * I don't expect any wider than about 205 rubber will ever get put on the back * There is a 99.999% chance that it will never get run down the 1/4 mile or raced in any way * I want to run stock internals As for budget, I don't really have anything in mind at the moment 'cos I am trying to get some ideas. I expect the limitations above will stop things getting too out of hand cost wise but you never know. Comments suggesting that I get an RB25/30 won't be appreciated.....
