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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
