A friend of a friend firmly beleives that his stock F6 Typhoon John Bowe edt. can go faster than my modded R32 GTR.

I have not said that I am faster until I can get my facts right plus some expert SAU opinions to back it up.

His F6 according to him has 320kw (not sure if this is atw or not).

My GTR is 246Kw at all four wheels (I can switch to rwd for more kw's)

Mods are:

N1 Nismo Turbo's

Apexi PFC

Sard 600cc injectors

HKS Exaust, piping and frontmount

And of coarse a boost controller (safe limit 1.5 bar)

I'm trying to get him to meet me at the creek but he is not interested yet. So theoretically - what do you guys think?

Hmm...

well i mean the 32 is lighter with AWD...and the falcon is heavier with RWD.

so i mean traction...depending on the drivers control..is gonna fail..

top end tho he may get the better of you, off the mark you'd probably have him though

Pfffft to theoretically

Just get him to man up and goto WSID - $50.00 and winner will be decided.

A winner cant be judged on paper........that is all, lock thread.

Just wanted to highlight some issues in your thread. Aside from the clear spelling mistakes, this seems to me to be a clear pissing in the wind competition. Thats what I theoretically think anyway.....

Go to WISD and have a few runs. Then do what I did. Rub the time slip in all your mates faces until they can prove to you that they have a timeslip for their car that is quicker.

Simple. Until he comes back with a timeslip that is quicker than yours, you are quicker with proof.

BTW - it's "beat" not "beet"

lulz

So now that you have an "expert SAU opinion" and some facts. Go prove that you are faster.

Aww..

i had no idea you felt that way about me jase

i have had many battles with falcon turbo's.

your GTR would eat it silly. Take it to the track and make sure you have a few mates record the run because you will make him look stupid.

Thanks Jason for the advise and for noting my spelling mistakes. Didn’t think spelling would bother people so I didn’t put the effort into reviewing and amending – so to note that I am not illiterate and in future will double check spelling. I have only had the car for a bit over a month so I am trying to learn as much about it as possible, this site has been great for that. As for the ¼ mile, I will, and I intend on having a run in the near future as my proof. Hoping for early 11’s!!

Cheers mate, will do. Do you think there is a big difference between a typhoon and a standard XR6 Turbo?

give you an indication my mate and I went to the drags, him in a tuned BAII F6 which made 270rwkw and I in my bone stock R34 GTR (maybe 180atwkw?). I ran 13.7, he ran 13.8.

At the end of the day are you talking track or drag? Drag would be closer, track is no contest, the GTR would have it. The main downside is traction and weight, the brakes on the F6 fade quite fast with all that bulk on a track.

11's shouldn't be a problem with that power. As for the spelling, the true SAU experts will give you alot more of their time if you spend that little bit of effort to spell correctly.

btw - it's advice, not advise......in that context. Could be a spelling mistake, but I'll give you the benifit of the doubt and put it down as grammatical.

Cheers mate, will do. Do you think there is a big difference between a typhoon and a standard XR6 Turbo?

Yes, stock standard, there is around 50kw odd difference.

We were talking drag - and your times with your mate are very close lol. As mr.diesel has said, "inch or a mile". Im sure if i mention track to him he will say that I will get spanked there too, but then again he is the type of bloke that will say he can beat a top fueler in his sleep also. I am just going to hit the 1/4 mile and throw numbers at him, and he will have no choice but to prove me wrong with his own slip. Lets just hope our nissan comes out on top!

I like beets, why not take one beet in your left hand and another in your right then proceed to beat John Bowes typhoon with your beets. Beets beating John Bowe = good result

Don't forget to yell "Reap these these beets like a typhoon john Bowe" while you're at it.

If your mate objects beat him with beets then return to beating John Bowe.

Maybe you could do this to a backbeat of The Reverend Horton Heat's beat.

Or if you like men, m.jackson's beat it.

Sounds like a good Saturday arvo to me.

Question was who would go faster, not a 1/4mile time if you ask me.

Short distance the Typhoon will struggle against a GTR, they just aren't built for it, long distance you will watch the FORD pull ahead as they are built for top end power.

If you dont believe me get onto the highway and watch the turbo car's try and keep up with the 8's. Also is the Typhoon standard or what mods does it have? that could make a big difference.

This is exactly a pissing contest with who's dick is bigger then who's added to it.

My 2cents.

Well the typhoon is a 6 cyclinder turbo just like mine, only I have 2 turbos and he has more cc's. Have decided to settle the 'whos manhood is begger contest' in a 1/4 mile drag. His typhoon is completely standard but its the John Bowe edition, which apparently has a bit more tweaking done to it. I am struggling to find any information on it.

Highly doubt you will get early 11's with your mods mate :wave:

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers 
    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
