V8 Or Turbo Cars? Do You Think V8's Are The Ultimate Power House?

[adamskill]

this is the skyline forum, killa 33. use your head. at the end of the day VTEC wins. or a dihatsu sirion.

sif. dragons beat everything

my aussie 4cylinder 2L sigma turbo came out factory carby suck through with enough hp and toruque plus the fuel economy an 8 could have only dreamed of at the time. Oh and if that wasnt enough it took the title of Oz's fastest car from the GTHO phase 3 at the time until the VK brock commy was later released.

The arguments started the day little 4's strapped on the turbo'z and started showing v8's how it was done. Since then the scenes, engines and cars have evolved so much that now the argument is as pointless as it is stupid.

But none the less in the humour of answering the thread for you killa, If he thinks a turbo is fake power, what is a supercharger? Also fake or is that real?

The awesomeness of displacement and v8's comes out when you strap a turbo or two onto a v8 no doubt, and for that i always respect the V8 immensly. Theres no other sound like it, low down torque to strip road pavements and excessive fuel guzzling thirst is something we dont find in ours often. I always turn for a rumbling v8 to look...

But then again who can beat the sound of 1000hp rb crackin onto boost??? I think we all had a hard on at the R34 cruise when they launched that crazy GTR!!! WOW!!!

Or a rotor when its on song??? even better if its got the turboez!!!

You get my point yet mate? tell him to pull his head in and place respect where respect is due.

I agree 100% with ya mate I love them both esecially v8's and they're both unique in their own way, but I've always loved the fact that a 4 or 6cyl turbo could beat a v8.

go fake POWAH!

Best photo ever, unfortunately the V8 ladies will be making outrageous claims that the GTR is about to be lapped.

In IPRAWA we had to make up a V8 Trophy so they had something to aim for as beating the restricted 4s dont happen often.

I spose we were a pack of ass holes after all.

haha not likely...natsoft holds all australian race results so they can check for themselves and this was a production car race so I can only run standard (12psi) of fake power.

That's amazing considering cars are pretty much full weight, turbo cars are effectively limited to 400hp, and the v8s can run wildly modified 6l motors. In NSW though its the rotaries that are handing out the punishment not the tubros

[scathing]

just wait a few years when the v8 supercars start running 4 or 6 cylinder turbos (it's going to happen). then see if they change their tune.

V6 Supercars sounds pretty homo. Almost as bad as I4 supercars.

sif. dragons beat everything

I think you'll find that the turbo muffler will beat anything

[mad082]

my dragon has 4 of them, so beat that

[TALBO]

can't

I don't understand the fascination with this. Turbochargers were invented many decades ago...why are people still in awe of a 4 cylinder engine's ability to keep up with a V8? It's nothing special beyond the technology behind it. It is just basic physics...increasing the displacement of the engine. It's no different to adding more cylinders or physical displacement to the thing, just using a different technology to do it. Here in Vic, for this very reason, it is homologated in many a race that displacement of a turbocharged engine be multiplied by 1.7 for calculation of appropriate class against N/A vehicles. As good as they are, turbochargers have had their time in the limelight...it's time to start being impressed by other add on technology.

naws?

Has been around just as long

And is not cheating!

V8's have been using nitrous for a long time now, since the average big block nazi dosent know anything about science and they are attracted to their relatives they wouldnt know that nitrous is a form of forced induction....fake power???

[N I B]

I do some tuning in a Bogan shop, The Poor old Bogans come back for their Dynos power record being held by a GTR (Top 5 are Turbo 6s)

Is at least the V8s sound good, Sorry but an RB sound shit hot to me.

[ragex]

Zoki Todorovic, is a typical bogan, his ignorance, and stupidity is what a bogan is, who likes stupid and ignorant ppl? not me, thats why your a bogan....

This guy is not a bogan , he is open minded, not stupid, and not ignornant good job

the jap's used nitrous oxide in there fighter planes in world war 2. during a dog fight, the used it to get out of dodgy situations, pretty smart hey

*you learn something everyday....coz knowledge is power!* lol
