i've been reading alot of posts about 200rwkw 33's with stock ecu and turbo. i rekon its bullshit. im running the same mods as these guys, including the 12psi boost and i get 170rwkw. id love to line up beside on of these so call 200rwkw stock ecu'd cars.

no shit.. its just the young'uns who take it to "kens dyno tuning" and they tweak the graphs to make it look like they're just tuned it up to give big figures.. shootout mode - add another 10% or so.. .. whatever other tricks they use like temp correction, etc (?) 10%.. etc. Or they just tune for peak power somewhere around 150km/hr which isn't really of much use to anybody.

1995 and later ECU can go a bit better before requiring aftermarket management.. but still..

Mine got anywhere from 165rwkw to 190rwkw the few times it was stuck on different dynos. Pretty much exactly the same setup...

I know I have said my car had 200rwkw once but i really thought it did that was like 2 yrs ago when i first got my car. im sure my car would struggle to pull 120rwkw bahahaha :Oops:

wish i could go watch.. but going to do absolutely sweet FA tomorrow.. on my day of rest..

once i get some small stuff fixed on my old car i'll take it out on the track i reckon.. why not :D its not like I would be devestated if i wrote it off :D

yeah.. i think most ppl go through that phase at first "oh my car does xxx", but get over it a bit over time.

so yours is still having some probs?

We asked for the figure to be manipulated on the dyno when sinbad got tuned, but they guy wouldn't do it. We wanted to make it so we got 1hp more than Melv for shits n giggles. But the guy (Matty Spry) would have no part in it.

I can understand why, so we weren't too dissappointed

yeah not sure my car doesnt seem as bad as it was, just not feeling to full force that you would expect from 12 pound.

just needs a good service and tune

yeah.. mine was like that for a while.. then autotek tuned it up pretty nicely.. then got to drive it for about 2 weeks like that.. then sold :D always the way.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
