I don't think you have 200rwkw if your getting 2.1sec 60ft times and only running 13.9 ET...
Their is an absolute sh1tload more to it than just "power = xyz ET". 60ft, midrange vs topend, quickness of gear shifts, track conditions are just to name a few.

An example would be last week I raced against an SAU member in identical cars whom I believe has about 50hp more than my car yet I was doing 4mph quicker TS than him, but he had a 0.2sec quicker ET. Using your theory he should have a higher TS than myself but the reality was he was nailing his gear shifts where as I was having difficulty.

Anyone that thinks 1/4 mile racing is as simple as dropping a clutch and putting your foot on the throttle for 400m is kidding themselves.

as an example I ran 13.7 ET with a 60ft of 2.4 and I have about 200rwkw with similar mods to yours...

leads me to my next question what was your MPH?... as I reckon 2.1 ain't that bad with street tyres and should be good for low 13s ET

god damn it....dont people READ these days ????????????????

I said it was a happy dyno......and im doubtful of that figure myself...

Sorry....I know your just trying to help but sick of people repeating the same shit over and over again...

hahhaha and john....your more than welcome to try driving my car.....but you bend it you mend it.

Guarantee you wont be able to break 14s..... :tongue:

There is obviously more to drag racing than just the car or just a power figure.

Why else would Paul and Stacey be 1 full second apart in the same car?

Why did I get 13.8 with 189rwkw and 13.5 with 228rwkw?

Why did Brenden - ECR033 - get a 12 with 200rwkw? Sam got one at that power too from memory.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
