I've personally heard of 420kw being pushed through a stock 26, but it lasted 25 minutes.

Depending on boost levels, I'd say you could safely achieve around 350-370kw on stock internals before problems would arise.

2860-5's will be lucky to get you 310kw anyway...

I'm currently doing a upgrade to the -10's (GT2871R) and aiming for around 350kw on stock internals.

396rwkw+ N20 at the track on 15yo stock bottom end. Raced (drag racing... mid 10's) and regular street driving for 2 years. Only reason it went bang was a bad batch of fuel and a 300m burnout...

-5's... pft! easy.

Just get it tuned properly!!!

P.S.

5 years ago, there were atleast 3 stock bottomend (re-built with prepped, stock parts) cars regularly racing with more than 450rwkw. They lasted more than 25min ha ha ha ha ha haha ha haha!!!

Depends on the use of the car.

If you are doing track days here/there - 330rwkw would be as fast as i would push it, and consequentially use smaller turbos.

Plenty have motors have not lasted the distance. Just because a select few have does not mean by any stretch that they all will.

Are you kidding?

-5's will, have, will do again - over 400rwkw.

The -10's (ala GT-RS) will do over 450rwkw.

If you think -5's cant make more than 310rwkw you sir need to do some serious reasearch.

the -9s (GT-SS) will do 330rwkw.

+1

Have seen -5's at over 700whp, another car at over 620whp.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
