Ok there are people out there how will have no shame in telling you there rwhp/rwkw but who is willing to put there money where there mouth is on an even playing field! what say we start a thread that can even the odds as we all know that say a rb20? will have less power than a rb25?

PRANK is there a way we could state our power to weight figures say in classes.

anyone with a rb20/rb25/rb26/rb30 or is there to many problems.

lets say RB20DET 1157kg/161kw.....

yes and no

good idea though,

youve got a good power to weight ratio

but what alot of people dont think about is you can have the best power to weight ratio in the world, but if it cant be put through the drive train, through the wheels and then to the ground successfully and accurately then its useless

sometimes more weight can make you faster

depends alot on wheather its rwd/fwd/4wd, tyres, gearbox etc

only problem with this thread is people will just make up approximates for their cars weight and kw too,

not many people know the exact weight of their car

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
