Is 220Kw At The Wheels Powerful?

[BOOSTBIG]

I am very curious on peoples opinions on what they consider is fast. my car was put on the dyno last week and was making 222kw at the wheels at 10psi boost. I have standard injectors so I cant go higher than that.

problem is though, the car feels laggy as hell, and seems slower compared to the standard turbo I had previously on it. I am just not impressed. why?

anyone happy with 220kw at wheels?

Specs and dyno sheet needed!

what turbo do you have?

when are you hitting boost by?

is anyone happy with 220 atw? maybe.. its personal preference. get some bigger injectors/pumps/reg and wind the bitch up

Ill get on that soon man. but whats your opinion? shouldn't 220kw at the wheels be brutal?

because my car aint brutal unless I boost from 1st gear. anything higher than that takes forever for the damn turbo to kick in. hits hard when it does though, but damn it takes forever. not happy with the performance of the r33 gtst

220kw is nothing to get excited about BUT you did say it was at 10psi which is probably not even waking your turbo up, hence your not happy! If you have a bigger turbo thats what happens!

high flow garret turbo. hitting boost pretty late man...

edit: ok my tuner just called, he said he wasn't looking to get power out of the turbo until I had run in my new engine. he said it was a conservetive tune, Ill be taking it back to him on monday for him to improve the timing on the ecu or something. apparently thats why its not accelerating hard...

power coming on too late means slow car, eg dyno queen.

If you did fuel injectors, airflowmeter, you could then use more boost and wake it up...

Otherwise maybe the turbo is too big?

I drove an R33 GTS-t years ago and it had high flowed turbo, front mount, injectors, tune, exhaust running 18psi, it was bloody good!!! Felt like 250-270RWKW

On the flipside of that Sean i had a high flow on my car making 250kw and it was pretty disappointing, so some good and some bad i guess.

Yea man, with the amount of mods done to my car you would think it would be pulling hard!

lets see what happens monday. if not ill be selling it and buying a gtr lol

anyone want a fully rebuilt r33 gtst? lol

[GTRsean]

I'm sure it will 'wake' up once it gets the power tune done.

Let us know how it goes, and put a dyno sheet up. We love dyno sheets

True. The one I drove was right on the limit, as it was knocking on high boost! We are talking like over 8 years ago haha..

Get some boost into it and see what happens

My RB25, TD06 setup was pushing 300rwkw @ 17psi about 10 years ago. That was a bit of fun

[Sunkist]

lol a bit.

Will do man

I would if I could on my Foz

A laggy turbo that has a useful powerband of say, 5500RPM through to 7000RPM will feel fast (ramps up onto boost quickly) but will actually be slow compared to a car with a more useful powerband.

Big difference between "feeling fast" and actually "being fast" and it's all in the powerband.

[T.D]

And to answer your question, no power will ever be enough.

I've ended up with just a tad over 300rwkw from my GTS-t and to be honest, I reckon it still needs more power LOL

220 on high boost in 2nd is enough to almost make me

need a change of undies haa haa.
