What makes 180rwhp? My stock turbo skyline was making 193rwkw on 12psi and is a very quick car. How much does the M3 weigh? It is a fairly big car. Both my skylines produced more torque also. In that graph that V8 is making 259ft pounds of torque. My old skyline made close to 320ft pounds and the current one is pushing more than 500ft pounds. I'm sitting on about 700nm and that is out of a small 2.5L 1.3 ton car. And I don't just peak that torque

Stock R33 GTSTs make around 180rwhp. They run 7psi, smic etc.

M3 E36 Evo is 1500kg. R33 GTSTs are 1390kg, so yeah, 110kg less.

E92 M3 is 1620kg.

700nm of torque? lol. Merc C63 AMG BLACK has 630NM.

Yeah. Dyno torque readouts, unless setup properly, are usually completely worthless since the figures are way out.

exactly. i've seen plenty of dyno readouts from small cars that are higher than the quoted figures for v8's and things like the xr6t. there's no way a 2.5L turbo 6 making under 200rwkw is making 30% more torque than a 4.0L turbo 6 that makes 270kw at the fly.

a rb25 making around 200kw would probably be making no more than 400nm at a guess, probably less though.

Yeah you aren't making 700nm of torque.

I exaggerated a little, its closer to 670nm.

What good is a dyno if it can't read proper figures? No one can tell me there is going to be a massive difference from the readout to an actual engine figure. If this is the case, why is the kw or hp anything to go by?. It was on dyno with two people in the car and about 50 - 60kg of led in the boot, two straps holding it underneath and still we were losing traction on the dyno. Tao made close to 600nm on with the same turbo in his car on a hub dyno.

I'm making about 300rwkw.

It’s because the dyno operator rarely dials in the gear ratio/final drive/wheel diameter etc, I've had the same argument with actual tuners before, yarning about excessive torque figures.

But if you get the RPM at which you make the peak torque figure and get the power figure at that point (using the graph) then use the equation [Torque (N.m) = 9.5488 x Power (kW) / Speed (RPM)] that will give you your actual torque figure at the wheels.

Or just use this calculator;

530nm according to that calculator. According to my dyno sheet my tractive force is 1340 lb or something at 132mph.

And just because that AMG has that much torque doesn't mean shit. There are a bucket loads of cars which will deal out more power than that mercedes for no where near the price they ask for that car. What is your point? My brothers rotor makes close to 900rwhp cost 30k. You can get a 2jz spend some money on it and get massive power and torque. Doesn't mean shit when you point out the amg.

If the above calculator is right then cool, my car is only down 100nm of torque and doesn't have a engine which probably weighs more than my car.

i believe they are abit of a boat, but in all honesty, change suspension and do ur part in getting it stiffer then that will be gone. then powerrrrr it ;)

As for the camry yeah dw about what he said, u like ur car then dont worry about what people say

However, Aurions is the new model up from the avalon, and is completly different to the camry in power, looks sorta similar, dont misjudge who to run haha, cus aurions are machines

and doesn't have a engine which probably weighs more than my car.

LOL... WAT?

If the engine gets heavier, the car gets heavier... Secondly, the RB engines are f**kING HEAVY!!! My engine that is more then twice the size of the RB25 is around 50KG lighter...

Bloody cast iron crap.

    • As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.
    • I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc. 
    • Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.  
    • So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets
