Yeah, nice try again. But you're still forgeting the temperature rise of the air affecting the volume of air as well.

(Quote Sydneykid: What you seem to have ignored is the 1 bar of boost in the RB25DET example, that effectively doubles its air consumption ability. Plus an RB is 90% efficient in its air consumption, so 250 litres per second X 90% = 225 litres per second. So the 0.008 of a second difference in airflow through your super duper inlet system makes SFA difference to the response. Which is what I said in the first place....)

This wasn't about response. It's about the turbo having to spin faster before producing boost, thats rpm closer to the "FAILURE POINT" so if we can spin it slower for the same amount of air, safer for the turbine.

I'm not saying I'll get 220+ at the wheels, it was just raised as a not too far fetched goal to create interest. It was never a proven claim, just an eye opener to what "MAY" be available.

I wasn't aware this was a spelling bee. Want an elephant stamp for that one?

We'll end it there ay, Or should I say you guys will end it there as I know you cant resist having the last word, else you wouldn't be resorting to feeble attempts to insult me because you dont understand the laws of physics.

Maybe It'll work, maybe it wont. But I'm not scared to try something different. My car made (with slight detonation in the top end, Damn townsville air.) 108 RWKW when stock as a rock with even the factory exhaust. I'll let you know how I went, and anything unusual or helpfull along the way.

OMG,

Sprint... For christ sake..

This does not happen UNLESS the turbo was the worse mis-match turbo in history as SK has previously stated.

You need exhaust gases to spin the turbo.

laws of physics.

pfffff as I said previously... You skim read.. lol

Sprint... I think you are a little dense.

You are beginning to make a fool of your self.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
