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.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
