it's a 25/30... so it could have anything inside...

it's realistically no different to saying "my blown LS9 makes over 300"

Dont sat that or we will have Captain Natro in here next :P

lolz at LS9 needing a blower to make over 300

Cmon Matt we all know capt natro don't have shit...

True! I shall uppercut myself for the comment!

Mat are you the current unopened record holder in this thread?

I dont think so? Surely there are higher results with 35r's etc?

Ill have a crack at the record tho :O

don't you have cams Mat..im pretty sure cams were allowed anyway, it wasn't a decision I agreed with though.. to me Unopened means unopened.

I took my cam covers off once to paint them but thats as opened as it got, everything else is as it left the factory..

How much do you think the cams are adding to your power figure?

But yeah I always have thought of cams as a bolt on, albeit pretty much the last one you can do before cracking her open.

With a direct comparison to my car we found the cams added around 10-12kw to the identical car and mods..... So not a huge increase. Mid range is meaty though!

In most cases when raving about turbocharged stock motor power numbers cams have been accepted as an acceptable upgrade. The turbo itself will have a much bigger affect on airflow and power levels and no one raises an eyebrow at that one. What the bottom end has held together for is the magic, for me :) Especially if not a nuke...

I seem to remember some guy years back that came on here with the username "LNEMUP" or something to that effect and was crowing about this crazy 700hp+ monster turbo stock 25 he had.

He basically took every question people asked about his setup being legit personally, got into tons of e-beefs with everyone on the thread and then subsequently got banned or something.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
