it depends on what the dyno mode they were using :S....

im not sure what 259 hp equates to but i would guess just under the 200kw??(please correct me anyone)

to me, times at willowbank are only good for yourself, when i will finlaly go up to race, i have nothing to prove to no one, just try to get my times better...

if im doing 1 second slower to cars that are more stock, i wont care, in my mind i just want to improve,

but for your info, belgarion with lower boost has got a 14.1

r33 girly u can only really roughly compare between times, ive pulled 14.1 on stock boost controler where as others with more boost have done mid 14s.

something seriously amis with my car atm tho, i can only get 14.4 or higher...

edit :- whoops forgot the point to my message.

yer u can only really compare ur times, obviously the more times you go down the strip, the better you are going to get at launching it ect, try lowering tyre pressures, softer tyres theres a few things u can try.

If you do that though its not street trim

If you alter your car in any other way than how you would drive it down the coast on a thursday night, or even drive it to the shops, it's not street trim. So whats the point in removing interior, lowering tyre pressure.... putting ice on your intercooler.

I'm a firm believer in going to the race track and see what your car would do in "street trim" form.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
