yeah peak power is only one part of the picture

if you look at my car its peak is pretty ordinary, 191 rwkw was its max

but the diff gears, lateral acceleration, suspension etc give it the quick accleration

able to beat most cars on "private roads" and was ever so slightly pulling away from a 315kw r8 ute on another "private road"

i still reckon on the street an 04 sti would be even - i dont know about "rip"

You were pulling away from a 315kw r8 in essentially a stock skyline. Me no believe

yep i kid you not

was about maybe 1.5 years ago

on a "private road" we both hit at 100km/h and i backed off we went ticked past $1.80

it was a blue R8 ute with the 315 badge on the rear of it, no idea if it was auto or manual

i was pulling away ever so slightly, only just

that was basic GTST with sub 190rwkw

my best 0 to 100 was 4.88 back in the old day

Maybe the guy couldn't drive lol. I managed to go door to door with those ve walkinshaw supercharged sedans on my private road. Later found out he had 357rwkw. I guess the weight kills those cars

Lol @ commodores. You'd hope 6 litres and FI would get you better than a mid 12...

  • Like 1

was getting paid last night to do absolutely nothing because the floors at work were too wet and slippery from the humidity...then when they finally got the place dried out enough to work, 2 hours had passed, so then had to work back til 4am meaning even higher pay rate...now they're behind so I'll be able to do the same tonight lol..good ole' humidity

FYI

pauls car = ~145rwkw/tonne

315 "kw" conformadore = ~250rwkw = ~145rwkw/tonne

power to weight is dead even

that's a rough calc taking your car as 1350kg and the R8 @ 1750kg with a drivetrain loss of 20%

fwiw on e85 my car is ~100rwkw/tonne more than holden's finest lol

lol...

it runs right past my house so make sure you drop in

will do. need monies soon to pay for engine build. they've got the EFI kit on the LS5 now, but they haven't got it running yet. Engine's good for 350 killabees with no EFI, so hopefully with it, should run a lot smoother and more powah.

Then if I have any money left over after moving later in the year strap a supercharger to it for even moar powah.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
