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 :huh:

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...

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

It has an extra 100cc advantage, thats it!

Yes my engine is stock, and the stock cams would be holding me back big time at 8k, but the power loss of the auto is the big reason for less output. (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.

:yes: a lot more to the story that just a dyno figure...

70cc u mean in the form of a stroker for extra torque. 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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
