Nah Jases VL wouldnt be putting out much shes just a daily driver,dont think hes done to much in the way of engine work. had alot of suspension work done though. Yea, got dyno sheet from 2005... LOL. God knows what its at now. You saw 1st hand how rich its running now... But then again i weigh twice as much as any other VL with all that plastic on it... They didnt think about the weight when they achieved 20% better air flow!! LOL

whats your engine spec'd like?

Ours is 162kw at the treads,HDT's figures were 196 at the engine(not far wrong)But now has a bit more if you calculate a 30% loss thru the drive train.. Cheers Marty

from memore jasons was only about 150kw

Forced induction is the way to go, mine made 250rwkw @ 6psi on a stock EFI 304

I agree Kw is good but then you do not drive a car on Power alone. Torque is what you use 90% of the time.Ours kicks out 518nm,And that is what gets you moving,And also most of it is quite low down.This is where the extra pistons help. Agree or disagree? Cheers Marty

How many extra pistons has yours got over my old car??

I have a freind with a stroker and his kicks out just over 700nm.(dynoed)A stock 4.9 had 323nm.Will hunt up the paperwork on ours to confirm. Cheers Marty Sorry it is 418nm not 518nm

Sorry just refering to your line "this is where the extra pistons help". I can't remember how much torque mine produced, but you're right it wouldn't have been as much as a stroker making the same power

Cheers Marty

my rb30 its around 770nm on 14 psi and 260rwkw,with 2 less pistons

A long way from the standed 296nm from factory. Cheers Marty

You have to be careful when quoting torque figures obtained from a dyno. Although a dyno torque figure is kind of correct, it also kinda of isn't. To obtain true torque figures from a dyno, allowances have to made for wheel size, diff ratio and roller size. The engine torque figure for most petrol engined cars (and this is a very rough guide!) is usually a little less than twice the kW rating.

yeah thats impressive for a stock engine.na ive only done a 13.3 so far but that was my first time out with cheep chinese tyres,so hopfully when i get it back im going to have a go with some semi slicks and a couple other goodiesmmeremere is sooo slippary,i would love to go down to taupo od somewhere to have a decent go ---------- Post added 07-06-11 at 18:30 ---------- yea i have heard that also tom

Cheers Marty

yea its so slipary at meremere,a road has 100times more grip.its a manual,mx7 box with 3.45 diff gears.yeah i hope to atleast to squeese in a mid to low 12seccond,i think it has the potential to do it
