so basicly your just saying your soft?

hahah no. BUT lets say this kids car, was perfect. Just like from the factory, and only losing 15% ish through a perfectly maintained MX7 and VLT diff. 150kw at the flywheel, would quickly become 127.5kw at the wheels. Now, he adds a cooler and a free flowing exhaust, which makes the car more efficient, but at the same time, he doesnt wind anymore boost into it. On 6psi, an exhaust can only restrict so much air. We're talking a 40rwkw increase here, not 10-20rwkw.

makes more sense.

Yeh. I'm gonna try to read the whole link tonite, ill put my headfones in and everyone can **** off for an hour lol

can some1 please answer my stupid question kane? E-Z? jack? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yes, i think so. To an extent. But if your gonna run 9.5:1 comp, and pump a decent bit of boost into it, you could o-ring it til the cows come home and it would still blow head gaskets. I'm not 100% though. ICUL8R: i dont understand why you'd shave the head if your gonna run boost?

thanks for confirming that kane, Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

look u can disbelieve as much as u like but the dyno is accurate an thats what power i made i dont see what is so hard to believe its only 166kw's for **** sakes an its not just an exhaust an a cooler its got a new head cam stainless steel turbo manifold fuel reg and a good ****in tune whats so hard to believe

a good tune? stock ECU? so air fuel mixtures were right. There isnt much to tune on 6psi with stock ECU. If you didn't want people opinions, you shouldn't have come on the internet and posted it. There is guys that have been playing with VL's on here for years and years, and haven't seen that sort've power on that much boost. Nobody is doubting it made that power on that dyno, but only the fact that, that particular dyno is 100% accurate.

Its got a stainless zorst manifold.

You said the magic words... they TUNE them. The power they make doesnt have to be right, just the tune. ALWAYS REMEMBER KIDS, A DYNO IS A TUNING TOOL.

Yeah, there's a dyno up here in Townsville that I believe is VERY happy. Close to stock 300zx, 242rwkw (only running more 4 more boost, they have 208kw at the flywheel stock) and like 800nm of torque? I think there's a few VL's that have been on this dyno with rich figures aswell. Suss. Jason.

Happy dyno = happy customers... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yer man, o ring does help prevent blown headgaskets, but not from bad tune or high comp. if its gonna blow its gonna blow, oringing gets rid of any hot spots that may cause premature headgasket blowing, so im told,.

well if it wont make 166rwkw's at 6 psi what would a VL with Cooler 3.5 dump 3 inch exhaust high flow cat CAI on 14 psi have at the wheels? manual a few people i know all guess around 210rwk's to 225rwkw's everything else stock

More like 175 - 200rwkw. What ever the case, race it and the timeslip MPH will show what power its making.

I thought power loss through the drive line was a figure not a percentage. And that figure is different for every drive line. If its a percentage then it doesnt make sense. If you make 1000hp at 30% loss then you're gonna lose 300hp?? That doesnt sound right at all. No driveline is gonna suck 300hp. Correct me if i am wrong.
