not really...

it's 285 on that wrecker motor which is temporary... it's just testing it.. he has another motor which it's all going onto and will be tuned more agressively...

trent is guessing mid 300's....

which i'm afraid son... in a 1300 odd kg VN / VP commo... will place your 370rwkw squarely in his rear view mirror :P

Nah he'll be right, Leigh's are roller dyno figures :P

Im not going to bite on the dyno comment... Although I will admit I do want to :P

I don't think you guys appreciate how much difference 400 kgs really is...

For an equal power to weight that car actually only needs 280rwkw to be on par with Leigh, and any more is gravy

If that car makes 350 we are talking approx 270 rwkw / tonne vs Leigh's 210 odd

That is stupid quick....

Although being a commo it probably has 400kg worth of subs :P

my car used to have 400kg worth of subs in the boot. i removed them and it made no difference to how the car feels.

on a side note, would you be interested in the guts for a 2.3 kit or a big ass turbo kit for your emo?

Nah, not building the evo....

Also, there is no way 400 kgs would not make a difference

lames.

know anyone that would be interested?.

my car has the worlds most retarded tune on it, you could be out dragged by a mobility scooter from a standing start. no guts at take off, flat spot at 2k, goes ok for a bit till 3k then flat spot agian, then takes off after 3k.

taking the subs out made no difference to how that series of events occured.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
