hmmmmm

I reckon that's definately a three ply extra soft peice of paper that dyno was printed on.

No... we just love telling bulldust.

If I had a dollar for every poor deluded sucker who claimed this or that power and for some unexplainable reason couldn't get a corresponding 1/4 time or for that matter beat other reputedly lesser powered vehicles in any manner of accelleration test.

If in doubt..doubt some more.

INASNT & rev210,

don't forget that both Garrett and HKS (basically garrett) rate the supported power levels of their turbo's at 1bar of boost.

Also, as mentioned, if they 'apparently under-rate' the power levels of their turbo's, ~250rwkw might actually be possible at 1.4 - 1.5bar (~20 - 22 psi) along with modified cams, decent intercooler and very very fine tuning which i believe is most important and of course the fuel system to support this boost.power.

But again, as mentioned, although possible this would be running the turbo way out of its efficiency range, so u could go for something like this and push it hard to get your power, or you can get something slightly larger and make the power easier and more efficiently.

RS500,

I won't tell people not to dream but, the 1bar figures assume 0% flow losses to your motor and ambient s.t.p. In the real world you would need more boost than 1bar to achieve the quoted figures let alone higher.

It is better to expect less and be suprised with more.

Try testing the theory in real life and be very dissapointed in every aspect of real performance. Building dyno daisy's is not my bag baby.

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
