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.

    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
