no, buy MY car stuff!

Not stuff for my car, the stuff I am selling ;)

You need some big ass brakes to slow up that fat 33 with all them v8 torques :)

On that note, I have a question regarding "power and street cars"...

I currently have ~270rwkw (264rwkw through a stalled auto) amd running 235 rear tires with a bit of stretch (they're on a 9" rim) I feel as though the average joe dickhead would crash very quickly if told to get behind the wheel.

But then I see some of you guys running well into the 300rwkw zone and thinking the cars are slugs, I don't understand. Even with my power my car feels very quick and very loose on the street

V8, NA Tourqes. You pull from all the way down in the range, high power FI cars have to be on boost. Makes your car seem faster according to the seat of your pants dyno.

Example, Martins car has similar power to Dylan's SLK55 AMG. I've been in both at full noise. Dylans feels faster, but its actually not.

Hmm I guess, mines pretty doughy off cam ie anything under 4k... Although I spin the sum bitch up 7k now so yeah. But coming onto the highway at from 60 if I tramp first and ratchet second it basically powerskids around the shop easily to 100.

But what im getting at is people around the place claim there bulk hp cars are "streetable" yet I can't see how it's possible... Some insight from a guy/girl with a big powah street car is appreciated

Do I count? I've currently just put my 235's back on the rear of mine and they are 18x9.5. 600hp and driven on the street, it gets a little wild on WOT, but fine if you feather it into boost..

Depends how you define streetable.

People will change how they define it for themselves meaning that people will claim almost anything is streetable. And honestly, its horses for courses anyway, so if they like it props to them.

Dan said to me that 250kw was his ideal for daily driver and anything over 300 was stupid for the street. And he kind of knows how to build a car.

This is kinda the thinking lines I'm along, don't get me wrong is love to have be power I just don't know the practicalities of it

I guess it all depends on the setups, mine is a single plate clutch and is easy to drive on the street and around town

Like sneaky Pete said though. Everyone has there own thoughts of streetable

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
