i think the C5 weighs in at 1497kg from HPI no.32, which coincidentally is in my hands.... isn't a R33 GTS-T around 1300kg? or is that a R32 GTS-T i'm thinking about....... well an R33 GT-R is 1560kg..... so, not much in it..... up the boost a bit, and they'll both be head to head..... C5 vs R33 GT-R that is..... a holden GTS, weighs in more than 1700kg(?? correct me if i'm wrong, most V8's are more than 1600kg right?)

btw, how much are most of those kits for the LS1 cost?

wow, warranty with the 550hp kit, hehehe, if only that could happen with installed hardware on a jap car

I killed an old guy (50's?) in a yellow GTS once but there was a bit of traffic so couldn't go for long.. I think he was trying to say "i'll show these punk kids with their jap crap".. I was in front in a few metres. He wasn't happy.

Hopefully i made him revert in his midlife crisis ;)

Pred - hehehe, I love your work... ;)

I remember one bloke in an old beaten up EH go past me (turning right at the lights) while I was stopped and yelled out "jap crap" out his window. Then his car backfired, almost stalled, and just made it across the lights before they turned red.

I was like WTF???? LOL

Anyway, that's waaayyyyyy off topic...

and yes im pretty sure 1 of this kit would give a Jap Mod GTR a run 4 its money (who would win would be done to spec and dirver)

The Lingenfelter Corvette that does 9's on drag radials is the 427cu (~7litres) twin-turbo, the small block ones do 10's or worse.

And FYI, the Veilside R32 does an 8.6 1/4 on Nitto's, not to mention plenty in that class that are only a few tenths behind. And there are shitloads of private street-legal GTR's in Japan that do 9's.

ahaha wrong the STREET-LEGAL Lingenfelter Vette RUNS 8second!! if u want the video i have it.

Lingenfelter 427 Corvette

The Lingenfelter 427 Twin Turbo Corvette runs 8.95 @ 153 MPH! street Corvette in the 8's

it is just under a meg

Ahaha and 4 the comment of small block ones, z06 ls6 do anywhere from 9 to 10second on streets

im not tring to start a flame war but it really does shit me that SOME skyline people think that they r the best car for watever reason. i know skyline r badass car which can run some wicked 8/9sec 1/4mile but it isnt the only car

Too true. I was a very one-eyed Skyline nut when I owned an R32. After a while, the novelty wore off. I saw the light and traded it for a WRX (Just kidding:D ). I came to appreciate all cars for what they are.

I still like the skylines, but now realise that they certainly aren't the be-all and end-all of motoring. whether it has a rotor, V8, I6, I4, Boxer or whatever, I really don't care too much. as long as it's quick, and fun to drive.

It's fun giving stick to a V8 on a race track, (proper one with corners and all), just as it's fun giving stick to turbo Skylines. By the same token, when a 450hp at the wheels GTR beats my times (in the dry at least), I can appreciate the performance of these things. I'd like to line up a standard GTR tho - I think it'd be a close race.

I digress. As Soulja said, nothing makes a forum more boring than the brand slagging that some members engage in.

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
