iv recently just upgraded my turbo to a pretty sedate little item...

while tuning, we got a final figuer of 236rwKw, and even with decent 265 rubber on the back, im skating all over the place in 3rd at fullboost

seriously, i dont see the point of having anymore than 250kw at the REAR wheels

i understand if u have a 4x4 trim, but seriously..its occured to me that i simply cant justify having this much power

what's classified as fullboost :confused:

:P:P

mmm... Denham, you aint even rebuilt your motor... and it's been off the road for how long? :D

Anyone would think spending how ever much you have been, both time and money, you were rebuilding the motor ???

j/k :shake:

But if your on stock internals... enjoy! i will be to, we can both blow a motor together :)

Just how much HAVE you spent denham (if i can ask)

to chase your power goal?

I was gonna go the full hog and rebuild the motor but i am saving that $$ for my new house.

As for the total spent from transforming it from stock as from when i bought it, there isent much left from 10g of the $$ i sorta know of for performance parts, other $$ was spend on cosmetic stuff!

hey ppls i am currently building mine at the moment got nothing betta to do (lost my license :D ) i am hoping to get about 330rwkw but the only thing with that is it gonna be a bugga to drive on the road i think around 250rwkw is plenty for a daily driver anywhere ova that and it becomes a little unpractical, im not saying its bad i love big powered cars but if u gonna have that much power have a second car as well and save the animal for when u wanna have some fun hehe.

What is enough power? Hmmmm, good question. Wardest has summarised my views quite well in saying that my stock WRX was awesome for the 13 months I had it and then I wanted something different and the GTR was the answer.

Upgrading the GTR was initally just something I was toying with. With 210rwkw and my Tien suspension, it felt awesome, cornered well and had decent straight line ability. It wasn't until about 15 months ago, I decided to build a sick drag beast which could still be street driven. What inspired me to push harder was the FangArtists. When we met up, 200+rwkw had credit but it wasn't enough to keep up with some of the more powerful cars out there, so I made the decision to do the turbo conversion and work the internals at the same time to save pulling the engine down over and over again to put new bits in there.

At 450+rwkw, the car is a true animal on the strip and street. It's no fun playing with other cars now. Bikes are the way to go :D That's the only way there's a chance of losing. Now I'm not saying I'm the best driver in the World and I can beat anyone out there, all I'm saying is that when you have almost double the hp of most performance cars on the street, anyone can win driving my car as long as you can change gears and keep the car staight.

Racing with the hp which my car puts out is dangerous and therefore is now kept to the strip only so if you see me out on the street, please don't try to race me as it will be a waste of your fuel, time, effort and possibly your licence :)

good answer leewah but what r u gonna do if u happen to pull up beside obehave? that thing is an absolute beast. not saying yours isnt i saw yours on the dyno at auto saloon.

ah obehve , yes ive come across this beast on dandeong road. And what a beast it is. it passed me doing about 300km an hour all i saw were a couple of round lights and his plate. I was scared and excited at the same time.

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
