with 250kw at the wheels, mine must be 400hp awd :devil:;)

now dont talk costs :)

you'll need more than 3k to smash that xr8,

highflowed turo, garret spec, $2500

ecu remap/piggyback, $1000-$1500

fmic, dump pipe, air induction, $1000

and the list goes on....

More like 430hp... nice.

Those who don't have it want it.

Those that have it want more.

Those that have more are still not satisfied.

:) such the wallet hating addiction we seem to have...

did you use 30% drivetrain loss?? thats not necessarily true. generally the drivetrain costs power eg, 50kw, but it would be around 50kw no matter how much power you have. does that make sense?? there are some discussions about this ;) like a supercharger might cost 40kw to turn it, but the gains of forced induction gain more power than its using.......

I know you were talking generally, but drivetrain loss in a stagea is more like ~85kw. Based on s2 having supposedly 206kw and ~120awkw. Somehow the M35 250t with a very similar drivetrain still has 206kw but manages 135+ awkw. go figure.

Most other cars seem to have around 50-60kw drivetrain loss, so that makes sense. If you remove the front tailshaft in the stagea, the difference on a dyno is ~20kw compared to awd so that tells me that the awd "costs" about 20kw. However, the extra traction more than makes up for this on the road. Those who have been to the drags and tried a run with awd and then rwd (but in a awd stagea - so same weight) claim that the awd is quicker, despite the extra drivetrain losses.

For what its worth, factory rwd is a different story since we're then talking about a ~200kg weight difference.

yeah its pretty damn high, but what im explaining to others (i used 50kw as an example) that no matter how much power you have, the drivetrain will always take 85kw (for an M35 auto) not 30% which may end up being a bigger figure. i have more experience with silvias, AUDM S15s have around 40kw drivetrain loss, a little more efficient than their S13 bretheren at almost 50kw. but thats technology advancing. better still my honda lost 30kw which i think was pretty good!

yup i agree. I owned 2 s13's, one of them turbo. Very quick car (the turbo)....but a little slippery in the wet.

LOL.. Nah, I used SK's estimate of 70kw for the S2 regarding drivetrain loss which makes more sense to me than a percentage as why would the drivetrain sap more power from the engine the more powerful the engine is?

I figure it takes me X amount of energy to lift a chair. If I went nuts in the gym and grew 50% stronger, would it require more energy to lift the same chair? No, it would require the same energy, but I would have much more left over due to the strength increase (which is why it would feel easier to lift it).

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
