agreed with morgs :pirate:

But my theory?

200rwkw in a well sorted street car is plenty.

I agree with these 2 guys. What about, instead of spending big money on making it go fast, :woot: just spend money on making it look good and have a good sound system?

ive got 168rwkws at 4400rpm ,268 rwkws at 4600rpm ,300 rwkws at 5200rpm and 346 rwkws at 6900rpm and i dont have to rev it right out to get good acceleration. if it rains turn down boost and keep her under 4k.

you jump 100rwkw in 200 rpm.... must be one hell of a time in the wet, even with the boost turned down, it still obviously comes on late and very hard... but then you get that with a GT3040....

Edited by VB-

I have wondered this question myself after explaining to my poor wife that 'i just need another...'

If ever I actually get to a point where 'Thats enuff" then i guess i'd get bored and build my own car from scratch. But thats just me!

Any other idea's? :P

After being in many setups, RB25 with around 240-250rwkw GCG hi-flow, that impressed me the most for the street in a RWD car

Far more than my GT30/270rwkw on PULP.

I had power after around 4000rpm, but the hi-flow just had power everywhere and that makes a fast streeter with good tyres/suspension etc

I have an RB20 with 240rwkw and it is useless on the street. much better if I turn the boost down and have 200rwkw, otherwise it just spins the wheels.

ad as someone else pointed out I am already doing 100 by the time i change into third. it is fun winding it out in 2nd tho :)

I think perfect street car is where you dont have to do anything (ie turn down boost) and can jump in it and go drive somewhere in almost any conditions and feel safe. ATM in my car I can give it full stick in the wet in 2nd with no wheel spin, and brake with resonable ease. And I dont have to wind down the boost. The power level would obviously be different in different cars. Do suspension mods instead. Do an exaust so it sounds fast. And get a nice quality stereo, think about how many hours you spend driving.

But thats my oppinion.

".... if it rains turn down boost and keep her under 4k."

Thats the plan! Personaly I dont even bother turning it down I just stick to the sub 4000 rpm rule....wheel spin is controlled through the modulation of the right foot. Eventually I want to have around 430Kw at the wheels. Why? Because I want to be engaged in driving my weekend car..the driving is the adventure, during the week its a 91 Pulsar no mods.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
