The 1070 hp figure was done during tuning by Sub Zero and is real but the Autosalon dyno only went up to 200kph  :chairshot

Plus the fact that the gearbox blew up didnt leave much room for improvement.

That's all the dyno graph posted goes to... I fail to see your point... :confused:

630Kw != 1070HP

P.S. Nothing wrong with nitrous IMHO... :)

I should have been more clear sorry

The hp read of 1070 was made at Sub Zero on their dyno.

Not at the Autosaslon dyno.

If he had of scored 1070 on Saturday they would have smashed the record.

The dyno at autosalon only read up until 200kph.

thats why the cars with power glides got really bad hp scores.

Nothing wrong with nos just pointing out the fact that Sub Zero will Put nos on anything.

At that sort of power what could possibly be put on the car for 1500 more dollars?

Not easy power just more :rofl:

No one said with a $1500 budget there is anything else that would add “more power”. The point was, people are using the nitrous kits as easy power.

Each to their own I spose.

nos is good but i think for dyno roller comps they should just use the engine power produced and have a totally different section for the nos cars. then it would be easier to judge the cars on there actually horse power not just bolt on a nos bottle for extra kw/hp

I disagree as adding nitrous is EXACTLY the same as bolting on a bigger turbo.

When someone bolts on a bigger turbo, do you stand there and say "yeah but lets see what the engine produces with a turbo half it's size or let's take the turbo off completely and just see what the engine does without any boost". I would think not. Using nitrous is effectively only adding more oxygen to the process and there is a fine art to setting it up correctly. If someone wants to run nitrous, fine....they will pay the price for cheap horsepower if they have not set both it and the engine up properly. It takes skill and a very tough engine to run it safely at high levels as nitrous has nearly 2.5 times the air content of normal air which increases the risk of detonation and engine failure. Just think of it as adding another turbo for 10 seconds.

couldnt have said it better myself

good point. but u cant run nos on the street but u can run a bigger turbo. i wasnt uping any1, i just reckon they should have 2 different areas in the roller comps. maybe im wrong but it would give a more true indication of what people are goin to see in a car driving on the street or at the strip. just my 2c.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
