Which car at any one moment can produce the most seat sticking G force at one moment? And I mean backward sucking force, not sideways.

For daily driving, this what I enjoy most. A good, strong, sudden squirt. Rather than the potential to travel at high speeds, a quick 0-100 or handling.

I've heard S13s are quite good at this due to their power to weight ratio and their more "aggressive" boost, whereas a Skyline tends to have a more spread power curve. Is this true?

What other cars are good at this? Evos, WRXs?

Just curious more than anything, but definitely something I'll consider when off my P's.

Thanks.

shitload of power. light car. and enough grip to get it off the line quick enough. AWDs are synonymous for the feeling you have described. they have enough grip to jump out with urgency, reasonably light and the jap AWD variety aren't too $$$ to make the necessary power.

i have a friend with just under 300kw at the rear in a S15 silvia. great car. intense in gear. but off the launch its hopeless. tyres/camber/suspension/lots of practice has to be perfect to get it off the line with intense G Force.

of course more $$$ machines will do it but i take it you are talking street legal/driveable?

I'm not referring to just launches (although this is probably where most G's are felt). What I mean is if I've accelerated slowly off the lights up to 20-60kph then decide to stomp it which car has the most rapid acceleration at that point.

Yeah, I mean street legal.

Thanks for the response.

you need somthing with instant response & TORQUE then, no point havng 11ty billion killerwasps in a car if its laggy, somthing like a rb25det with a hks 2530 on it.

The dyno numbers wont impress anyone but it will be savage on the street.

An EVO (stock) is good in the first couple of gears, after that it kinda dies down a bit, not that impressive.

A Supra in TTC mode with a few mods can give *extreme* boost hits once you hit 2500-3000rpm, but very bad for traction. Think in-gear, 3rd gear wheelspin, 18 psi, on 295's, no probs ;)

An R34 GTR with stock (or close) turbos gives a decent boost hit but you have AWD to take care of the traction issues!

If you want instant torque from down low, obviously a supercharged V8, or maybe a Supra in sequential mode with high(er) boost is the way to go!

It sounds to me like you're after big midrange torque. A turbo is perfect for this. A V8 has big torque everywhere but because of this it may feel "flatter" and not as quick. That's why Supras in TTC mode often *feel* quicker than SEQ mode but really aren't, because the area under the curve is less, plus when you hit that boost you just get wheelspin. But dayem, it's fun to drive!! :happy:

Something light with a medium sized turbo (in relation to the engine capacity) would be the best bet for what I'm looking for in a daily driver?. So that if I want sudden, massive acceleration (whilst already moving) all I have to do is drop a gear or two, hit boost and wrestle the road for traction?

Any light RWD turbo car can achieve this with the right set up, tune and tyres. Whether it be a Silvia, Skyline, Supra or whatever?

To answer my own question: the highest G's would be achieved by a worked sti, or Evo launching hard, or a lightweight car with a monster turbo (like a T88 on a Supra) finally coming onto boost, but for the most responsive hard acceleration you simply want big engine capacity, ie V8s.

Did I get that all right?

Thanks guys.

i know what you mean about the power curve on a standard skyline, gtst's- r32's give you more of a hit when you come on boost, r33 and r34's dont give you as much of a punch but if yu take out that 5psi until X rpm out of the equation and have it on 7psi or wind it up a little bit they can be quite punchy, just keep the standard cooler or use an r34 gtt cooler until you actually need a bigger one because with low boost, smaller turbo and a big fmic you will notice the response difference between the smic and a fmic

Street wise - Friend of mine, Evo 9. Upgraded turbo, usual other mods, bit shy of 300awkw from memory...

I have not been in a more savage car. Simple as that. The launches and response is second to none.

Even with the stock turbo (it was making what, 230awkw @ the time)

I've been in cars from 1000kg's to 600rwkw GTR's... Nothing compares as it pins you to the seat hard everytime.

A HSV WH Grange with the 300kw engine has some ridiculous torque at around the 60-80kph speed...

My dad has stomped on it moving onto a highway onramp,

I got sucked back into the seat and saw 140kph very quickly! It just squats and takes off no traction issues at all!

Its very quick from lights aswell.... at the time of production, although being the heaviest HSV it was also the 2nd quickest in the fleet, second only to the GTS

The auto gearbox on the grange has alot to do with it tho.... especially quick with shifting through the gears very fast!

How much cash do you have to spend? I can't see many 'just off their P's' guys being able to afford a 300awkw evo 9 lol. Although wouldn't it be nice!!

I reckon if you don't wanna spend heaps n heaps of cash for something nice n fast, do what i did and get a bike :)

And that's a 600. If you really have really big nuts jump on a thou :)

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
