Sick Of People Claiming Ghost Rwkw!


Recommended Posts

According to most Holden owners their cars make about 1000000000000 rwkws fwkws awkws in park on a dyno that is upside down using a volcano as a fan.

I have friends that do it, i think everyone has "that friend" that claims fantastical power outputs from either their own car or some car they "read about." Who cares, its good for a laugh! It definitely can get annoying though, so i feel your pain there.

unless its a dyno queen, its the torque that matters most anyway.

haha love this thread i got a mate with a supra thats booked into get a gt35 fmic and computer on monday for $5000 and reckons he was told it will pump out 450hp atw.

sounds a bit cheap to me i guess ill find out sometime during the week :D

my 5 speed v6 vn commodore is making a good 368 kW at the wheels. all its got is a 2.5 inch exhaust that has snapped underneath. its easy. all you need is an imagination, and to keep a straight face when you tell people this sh!t :(

worst is my mate. his older brother had an evo 3 mock up. just an old lancer with an evo 3 kit and an exhaust.

my mate, daniel, thought it was the quickest car in the world, it was able to eat gt-r r34s for some reason. this guy who works for my dad, arthur is his name, he used to work as a mechanic for nissan. he owns a 1999 s14. sleeper, hasnt been dyno'd, hes done sum silent stuff to this car, it has an r33 gt-r exhaust, so no big exhaust or anything, looks stock standard. this 200sx tho, has keeps up with s15s, r33 gts-ts even r34 gt-ts lol, not gt-rs tho :banana:

this daniel guy thinks that his brothers evo 3 was able to keep up with porsches. we had an arguement over whos car would win. the lancer or the 200sx.

mind you, this guy knows nothing about how cars work. after wrecking him with all mechanical talk, about how easy 200sx can win cause it has a turbo and other stuff, he thinks that the lancer will win cause it has 4wd...its a lancer..it has front wheel drive..but he thinks 4wd. in the end all he could say was that cause his brothers car has a bodykit, the aerodynamics will allow it to beat the 200sx.

sorry for the novel

My mums VE SS puts out about 550hp at the wheels....

Its twin turbo but.

horrible waste of money...

My mate has a 5.7ltr fully work engine forgies soild cam big bux spent on it, The work shop told him it was makeing 280kw. He told a diffent tuner and he laught and said no way put it on the dyno and it only made 250kw. I ve heard most V8 joint's dyno are way out so it looks better for them.

So i guess the V8 fans are liveing in Fantasy.

Ps has any one ever heard a v8 fan say there engine rated at 500hp Thinking that makes the car 500hp at the weels. :ph34r: .

whats so unbelieveable about 300rwkw from a 5.7L Holden?

Do you know how easy it is to get massive power and 11 second 1/4's out of these cars?

Engine power from V8s is no prob, especially with performance shops like Harrop's, Air Power Systems that super/turbocharge. It's traction from only 2 wheels that the problem. They wheelspin like a bitch.

Wow, your mum turbo'd her SS? Nice one! Although might be embarrassing to be owned by your own mum at the lights every time.

This is great guys! I knew that there would be an army of f*ckwits out there that we have all met! They are the sort of guys that go paintballing and think they are Rambo or go Go-Karting and think they are GP drivers. All in all I just smile and nod and prey that one day they'll pull there 10 second stock monster out for a play one day. It just always seems that whenever your around and want to see what their car reall has there's a problem. Like oh I don't have my keys here or the trans is playing up a litlle or whatever the hell they can think of.........

Great input guys. Good to know I'm not the only one out there with this hatred.

I dunno. The price does sound a bit low, but Supra engines are fing tough. I've read you can put up to like 400-450rwkw through them before you need to start upgrading engine internals.

I don't even waste my breath on people who crap on that their pieces of shit or their mates pieces of shit make x power or can beat x car.

my VN has 160rwkw with a slightly lumpier cam than stock and exhaust. Thats about right for a 5 litre with the usual minor mods.

A standard VX LS1 should make ~180rwkw, a standard HSV 5litre around 135rwk or so (what i've seen off runs on a Dyno Dynamics dyno).

best mates VX SS made 240rwkw with a full twin DiFillippo exhaust and LS1 Edit. This translated into real world performance too, the only cars I can think of which were faster were a WRX with a 2.2L stroker, dogbox and a heap of other goodies, and ironically one of our mates R31's with an RB30 and a highflow ha ha ha.

My GTS-4 has a sheet for 240rwkw, but I'm thinking that CRD had a happy dyno that day or somethings out in the Microtech cause theres no way it makes that power at the moment.

Most of the genuinely fast cars i've seen don't make the most impressive dyno readings though.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
