i Like the NA brakes for 1314rwhp.

hahaha that's awesome...good find.

Also, you can't compare an rb25 turbo's efficiency on an RB20 because an RB20 if your unaware is a 2L. Being a 2L it has less stroke, less flow, less heat so therefore the effiencienfy range for that specific turbo goes up a tad. Efficiency can also be determined with front and rear housing not matching at a certain flow level. At 10-12psi the rear housing of the rb25 turbo is just large enough to not create surges caused by lack of flow in relation to how much the front housing is squeezing into the motor. Where as at 12psi and above, the front housing is flowing a tad too much volume for that tiny little rear housing to handle....sure it will cope, but it gets f**kn hot. Hense where the heat comes into play, in turn heatsoaking the front housing a whole lot more..taking efficiency away from the turbo. Another reason efficiency can be effected is because the front wheel of the compressor is designed to flow a certain amount of air at a certain speed. Just like a water pump, Behaving fairly simular, if you speed the front wheel up and the pitch of the front wheel is incorrect for speed it is turning, Just like a water pump it can cavitate the air and be useless. Hence why if you use the wrong pitch of the prop on a plane at the wrong speed then the plane will loose momentum. Once again the same with a water pump, if the impellor's pitch doesn't suit the speed it is turning at it will can cavitate and there for loose efficiency.

Have a look at some efficiency tables. People dont realise that it's not all about boost in alot of cases. A stock turbo works sooo much harder to produce 13-14psi than a much larger turbo. A smaller turbo working harder than a larger one has 10 times more heat than a slightly larger turbo on the same psi. Heat is the main cause for it's loss in efficiency. Heat is the main contributor for power loss. Heat is another contributor for detonation. Heat Heat Heat. 10-12 PSI is the effiency range for that sized turbo combination. It's been proven over and over and over again. It pays to spend time on all sorts of cars using different sized turbo's and watching power DIVE when you add any more HEAT and BOOST into a turbo that isn't efficient for those settings.

maintenance free LED's? cara's taking them in to get them fixed! I've never heard of stock ones in need of 'fixing'

stock turbo looses its efficientcy above 11-12psi anyway...no point going any higher.

+1 Stock lights for sure. LED's just look cheap

waa waaaa waaa....defect this n defect that... the bigger of a deal you make of it the worse it will get... If you drive a defectable car then prepare to be f**ked by the long dick of the law whether your being targetted or not. Everyone's prepared to spend thousands on their cars, how about spending 500 bux on a daily and not having to worry about it.

E85 is over rated.. i see it as cheating hehe. im gonna make a lazy 300 on Pulp.

in the 20's defence, you did have a bad choice of turbo on it.

I spose that's what we get when we live in a tiny city where nothing else goes on....Little stories turn into the big stories. They play it out as if there are fatalities in the hills each night.

just incase people didn't realise but 99.9% of all problems people have with their cars has all been covered in a massive section called 'Modifications & Maintenance' on the main page. Which is quite useful if you perform a search on that section. The moderators know what they are talking about aswell. If anyone needs any information about where to go to get something fixed we have another section called 'Workshop & Autoparts Listing' which is our own sticky in the SA section.

Thanks man looks better now with more stretch and more slammage

I got vs-xx on mine

prepare to be dazzled... ours sat there and did f**k all for 2 years then it died...all they do is sleep.

ISC

edit: i have no idea what im talking about

That's right, Im sure you dont need SAU to answer all of your questions in life.

I agree Paully. There's only a select few people around who know what their talking about these days and Joel was one of them.

i wasn't comparing. NS is a different forum. We are talking about this one...please stay on topic.

It's ok Nightcrawler, i had just woken up and was grumpy. I was merely stating that changes had to be made because there is far too much bickering on here, too many ppl with their knickers up their clacker and more warnings need to be given out before it turns SAU into a complete joke. No disrespect to the current moderators at all, there just wasn't enough of you. I've been contemplating cancelling my account purely because there is too many ppl getting on their high horse and ruining what used to be a half decent forum back in the day.

about fuukn time, current moderation of this shithole is useless. Pete and Luke can finally draw a line.

So you go to the shops to check out all the fags? My judge of character is spot on.

Just having a select few friends around mine for a bbq, pool, poker, fireworks (thanks izzy), beer and f**kn gettin roudy.

^^ that guy is the biggest twat ive ever seen! drives like a tool and i got so pissed off with him i followed him back to his mrs house and abused the shit outta him haha. stupid wanker...next time ill call the cops.
