I noticed this as well.. Considering the engine in my car when it came out, had 75kw @ the flywheel, 26 years later I'm tipping its making a lot less.

With drive train losses I'm putting it at about 30-40rwkw at the moment!

My long wang runs couldn't have been any faster, i was driving the pants off it, and yet I'm way down the field.

also that first battle was very high-power friendly!!

But hey... there is many more-powerful cars below me so I am happy....

Sucks to be you guys :D

:D:P:banana::banana:

My AE86 only has about 70kw at the wheels And I seem to come around 25th every time. I haven't seen what place I came this time yet as I can't seem to get the damn file open but I'm guessing I came around that again lol

The lighter weight of my car helps me keep a higher speed through those tighter corners as well as a shorter breaking distance. When it comes to the long wang though, I don't have the power to get up to speed so my best times are around the 1.00s to 1.05s mark :(

DECA is not the place to run-in a freshly reconditioned gearbox, unless you want it to last 2 days and find out you voided the warranty in several ways / lied about the use of said gearbox during your warranty claim :D

What warranty?

so you pay for a gearbox outright to find my one had been reco'ed and sent back!

Also if you have a problem with me voicing my opinion on bad dealings maybe you should speek to me?

I take it that this is your business?

The process was made clear to your mechanic and the warranty is clearly explained on his invoice from us - if you had some communication problems with him then that is not a just reason to state "Kilsyth is not the place to buy a gearbox". You shot yourself in the foot by saying this in a DECA wrap up thread which evidences you using the thing for motorsport - no one in their right mind will warranty mechanical components for motorsport use. Did you see third gear / what was left of it?

Anyway, don't want to enter a forum shitfight - as far as I'm concerned our business with you was/is long done - just thought I'd put up the second side of the story so as not to mislead people with your comments.

You're welcome LOL sorry mate. For what it's worth I reckon that's a fair result considering your power. Focus on all the cool and fast cars that you beat, that's what I do :glare:

loved the sound of your car though mate, so you win in my books if that helps lol.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
