Is torque also an issue???  (its a question do not flame me)

Hi daveo, horsepower is torque multiplied by rpm. So the amount of torque is not really an issue, more where abouts in the power band it is. The problem with a 260 rwkw RB20 (more than enough to run 120 mph in an R32 GTST) is to do with how high in the rpm range the max torque is developed and for how long the max is available. This makes them very difficult to get off the line and hard to keep in power during the necessary gearchanges.

Hope that helps:cheers:

MattR's car when owned by Japanese Motorsport ran a 11.3 with a RB25, TDO6 20G, Subzero plenum, stock internals in a GTS4 shell with GTR rear diff and obviously in 2wd. Made 301rwkw on tilbrooks dyno.

It wasnt a 20G, and from what i have been told the thing was running on jungle juice and slicks to get that time:)

Not saying anything wrong with that or trying to take away from the car/owner, just making sure its put in the right context:thumbsup:

    • Make sure to have the block checked for cracking etc before doing anything.
    • Pull it out. Put a suction hose on it drawing from a bucket of petrol. Put a discharge hose on it pointing back into the bucket. Add 12V. That will tell you if it works at all. Then put it back in, turn the engine on, and see if there is 12V on the terminals. That would suggest that it runs when the car does and adds its "capacity" to the total pumping system.
    • So you're telling me this is an external fuel pump? I've had the car for at least 6 years now and it's been there the entire time. I had the car tuned a couple years ago and I had the shop do the fuel system, including a new in-tank Proflow 340 which shit itself about a year later and I replaced it with the same model. I find it odd that they didn't remove this or even make mention of it. I seriously had no idea what it was. How would I test if it's functioning?
    • Don't take it as a guarantee. It's all a game of statistics. And on top of that, smooth over a thick layer of "quality of spanner spinning" as a further Gaussian curve of probability of failure. You play games at anything above ~400 HP, and you're using up margins in terms of engineering and luck.
    • Aye, everything is being touched and all the parts that are responsible for the oiling issues are also fixed. (Crank collar, billet prp oil pump, head return to sump, yada yada yada)  Everything used is of reputable brands like greddy, prp etc. My tuner did mention we’d keep the torque on the “lower” side.   glad to read that my engine won’t blow up on me lmao
