ARTZ Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I once knew a woman who had a v6 commodore and said it had to much power and traded it for a outlander because it was only a 4 cylinder i once knew a woman with a v6 commodore, it slid out around a corner in the wet so she took it to get her traction control checked Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426428-what-is-too-much-power-for-the-street/page/4/#findComment-6889512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTZ Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 34geteetee makes 391rwkw on 28PSI, whereas not only is Scotty's stagea running 4PSI more, but makes 50rwkw less despite running the equivalent turbo and displacement (2.5 6 pot) Sometimes its not about displacement or cylinders, but more so engine design, the RB2.5 motor is certainly capable of huge numbers with head work and a built motor, but once again irrelevant for street use didnt say it wasnt possible, just said its not easy...

discoPumpkin Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I don't have a built motor or head work? Actually I don't even have an aftermarket headgasket so u fail to see how they contribute to big numbers? even bigger numbers with head work and a built motor, your motor will never make as much as a rb26 without the head work and possibly a stroker Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426428-what-is-too-much-power-for-the-street/page/4/#findComment-6890016 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not to mention the awd losses) You can really only compare the same cars on the same dyno imo. Dyno's don't tell the big story, my car has monstrous torque and has given many a Racepace GTR a run down the straight at Sandown, even though it weighs over 400kg more. The V6 trades power for torque similar to V8's I think.

ARTZ Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I didn't even vote. i just voted 700kw+ cause it seemed the most ridiculous...i find it hard to believe people have actually put a number on it...lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426428-what-is-too-much-power-for-the-street/page/4/#findComment-6890121 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And stock heads the rb26 flows more and has the better 6 throttle body intake, but with porting that's a different story. ^ I don't know any RB25s that make 963awkw like this r34 GTR Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426428-what-is-too-much-power-for-the-street/page/4/#findComment-6890124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
