RS4 was no racing model when I drove it, my guess is the RS5 isn't much better.

30 more kw and another 100kg

Prolly similar

Still pulls a 4.5 second 0-100, would have been a good contest given my propensity to face diagonally until second gear!

RS5 y u no drag me. You didn't buy the sports model, you bought the racing model...why do this if you're gonna take off like a Hyundai Excel. Did the smell of burning sugarcane scare you?

Answer me!

because you touch yourself at night

Spend $20k to get both.

Bahahaha! Nice thinking Grant! But unfortunately not to be.

Which setup will give you more gains?

Both will give similar results, with the supercharger giving between 350-400rwkw but with bucketloads of torque on tap from basically anywhere in rev range.

Single turbo (either a Garrett GT4088 or equivilant Turbonetics turbo) will be pushing around that ballpark too, but more likely to touch and/or topple the 400rwkw mark. Being on a 6L, can't imagine a lot of lag but won't have the level or response the charger has.

So similar power but with 2 different characteristics...

You after low down response or top end?

Spend half on each and you get both for 10 large?

:P

Going by that logic, I'll have a water-to-air intercooler installed, as well as the front mount air-to-air intercooler installed with the exhaust manfiolds, but no turbo and no sueprcharger. LOL!

Yeah basically!

Umm... both? hahaha To be honest, I'm not even 100% sure what I want, all I know is I have boost withdrawl symptons ever since selling my 33 and in search of my next boost hit :(

Personally I'd be going for the SC option, for a street car the low down goodness is going to be much more beneficial. Just change gears earlier ;) You'll still be going 200kmph be the time you run out of gears at low revs :P

Do that, and film people (including finest constabulary) reactions when the bonnet is open.

Hmmm true true. I would probably be swinging towards charging cos I've had a turbo 6 before, and the car is currently cammed so can say I've had a cammed V8, so I guess the only thing I haven't tried is a supercahrged 8. Hmmm....

bring to scotty and do it for less lol.

Hahaha you keep saying that! But how much can Scotty do it for though? A GT4088 is about $2.3k on its own, plus a decent cooler core probably about $600, external wastegate about $800, BOZ about $400. Add in lines, fittings, piping, tuning and labour and I reckon I'll be close to nuding the $10k mark anyway :(

That'd be asking for an ass reaming LOL

Hahahahahhahah! You better believe it! ;)

:laugh:

Up to you I guess, I mean, it's a 6lt and as you know, it ain't short of low down torque.

Put the turbo in for some nice top end fun.

Well once it kicks in from the low down torque, it will still power all the way through.

You'd probably just start spinning the rear tyres a hell of a lot more :)

Hahaha, yeah that's the only thing that is making me think supercharging, cos even though I LOVE the violent-ness of a car coming hard on boost with a turbo, the crappy commo would struggle to put that power to the ground I rec kon, even though it weighs almost 2 tons

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
