Please Take Me For A Drive In Your 270kw Car :)


Recommended Posts

Hi, guys

I've got a 220kw R33 GTS-T, and i'm thinking of getting injectors/afm/tune to get 270kw.

I'd love to be a passenger in a 270kw car and see how much faster it is, before dropping cash for 20% more power :(

An RB25 powered weapon would be perfect, but I guess an RB20 would be close enough as well?

I'm on the Gold Coast, if that helps :(

let me save you the test drive, just do it...

you will go and jizz your pants and then you'll be off to start the next upgrades...

I used to run 17psi @ 270rwkw & 21psi for 300rwkw on a standard head and there was a big difference even between those figures...

It was the difference in lighting up the tyres sooner... :(

One thing that you might not have considered though is that it's easy to get two cars with similar outright power figures that drive completely differently - that'll affect how quick they feel, and how quick they are in real-world driving. For the vast majority of us, a fat torque curve in the midrange is worth a lot more than a few extra hp in the top end.

Edit: here you go, as an example this one is apparently 272rwkw:

    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
    • LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
