"ALL" horsepower figures quoted by any car/vehicle manufacturer is flywheel and "IS" industry norm, for "RATED HORSEPOWER" to be at the flywheel. I would have thought any dumass would have known that.

um, that's nice.

But we don't live in America.

"We" (being the people of Australia) use the metric system.

I would have thought that any dumbass would have known that. :rofl:

It's a bit hard to gauge a comparison of figures when factory numbers are based on numbers at the fly.

I've seen plenty of RB30et setups without coolers.

Unless you look under the bonnet, you would have no idea they were turbocharged.

As far as the VLT conversion goes, you only need a cooler if you want to run more than standard boost.

30kw may look like a small amount on paper, but when you're behind the wheel you can feel the difference. (30 was just a conservative number i plucked out of the air)

This is just the starting point... I wasn't saying "you wont get more than 30kw from a turbo set up"

In fact, if 30kw was all that was gained, then something probaly isnt right.

There are also many ways to hide an intercooler so that it's not a "fashion accessory" for the car.

What are you trying to say???

Next time you have a few spare seconds, go to ANY car dealership in AUSTRALIA and pick up a brochure on any car in their range and have a look at the specs.

In these specs you will find "POWER OUTPUT" or words to that effect and it will then show a figure in kilowatts.

What in hell do you think "power output" refers to? other than HORSEPOWER. Horsepower isn't metric or imperial, it's a statement of a measure.

As I just found on another thread, if you don't understand the terminology, don't shoot your mouth off, or try to take the micky out of someone that does understand.

What started all this off from you was my statement on "RATED HORSEPOWER" and all rated horsepower is at the flywheel, not delivered to the road as you want to refer.

We go to dynos and get rwhp, vehicle manufacturers do it all on engine dynos when the engines are first created on the bench and is the case in most quoted horsepower figures around the world. Metric or imperial.

Matt,

Yours stands out like the proverbial dogs and your biggest problem with being a sleeper is, you only have 2 doors.

wasn't saying it was a sleeper just that you have to look twice to see the cooler and its not a small one. :)

Horse power is the power required for the performance of work at the rate of 33,000 English units of work per minute; hence, it is the power that must be exerted in lifting 33,000 pounds at the rate of one foot per minute, or 550 pounds at the rate of one foot per second, or 55 pounds at the rate of ten feet per second, etc.

hmmmm strange... i don't see anything metric mentioned in there?

Give up.... you're tripping over yourself.

While you're at it, enquire about some anger management classes.

Very good!!!!!!!

What dictionary did you get that from, ahhhhhhh!!! let me guess,

The Macquarie Dictionary, 3rd edition, Australia's National Dictionary, page 1034, paragraph 22.

You show amazing resilience, you actually have the fortitude to look up the meaning of a word in a dictionary and then be a typical woman and quote this meaning TOTALLY out of context.

You blonde or something??????????? as that's what I would expect a blonde to do, she's on a loosing streak so has to resort to a dictionary for solace.

You started this sh!t fight and now your out of your depth, you tried to hang me out to dry on a quote, I said that all rated horsepower is at the flywheel and the terminology "horsepower" is a term used to provide the output of a given engine and then "you said we are in Australia, not America and we talk Kw here", what's that got to do with the price of eggs in a fish market? You were trying to tell me that my talking horsepower was out of place, as we are metric in Australia.

Let me tell you this, long before you were born, Australia with it's English heritage quoted everything in HP, which is a fictitous figure that bares no resemblance to fact and hence, the motoring industry dropped it for something more realistic. Power, or power output was and is now used, be it in Kw or BHP, it's still a "power output figure".

Why can't you accept what is fact and why am I your preferred target, someone else in this thread referred to you as a "moron" for not understanding what I meant, yet I don't see you attacking them.

What's your problem???????

Go away and get some facts, or better, just something intelligent to say before you establish yourself as a "LEGEND IN YOUR OWN LUNCH TIME"

Who cares.....

I would much rather a VLT setup then my GTS2 motor, more power to start with, and more power is easy to come by, my friend's VLT setup on a NA block has 226rwhp with just cooler/3"zorst and some boost.

screw the topic...knock it off the pair of you....sky031 u should know better ur a mod remember?

SKY031 a MODERATOR :headspin: :usuck: :bs!: :dump: :spew: :( :blah: :fart: :jester: :throwup:

That's a JOKE, they must be hard up for moderators on this site if she gets to be one.

why am I your preferred target..blah blah blah  

Go away and get some facts

You are my prefered target, because you are disillusioned about the power of a GTS2.

Facts are this.

There is no way that a motor built to GTS2 spec has a power output greater than an RB30ET. (or RB30e+t)

The info i pasted (oh shock horror, imagine using the internet for research purposes!) came from www.dictionary.com ...but if you pasted the words into google, you would have found that out.

It doesn't bother me a bit if people want to resort to name-calling.... I left primary school behind a long time ago. (unlike some people) :D

P.S,

If you want to quote people, learn how to use the quote function.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
