wtf? 266rwhp.. with a t04 and running 17psi? is it me or does that appear to be real low? surely the auto + converter cant be sucking that much HP? anyways - interesting looking vlt Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeh whats with only 266hp on 17 psi with a to4 highflow???? Did it have a rb25 head or 26? Looks nice and clean Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

rb25 head.. The exhaust housing on the turbo was massive and came on at 5,000rpm, so the stally didn't suit.. the dyno tuner reckons when I had it if i sorted afew little problems it'll be making 300rwhp+

sounds like an interesting setup to push out 200rwkw with a turbo coming on at 5000rpm rims suited it well though

nice man, shouldnt have sold it ! Power figure seems low though, if i pumped 17psi from a to4highflow into my old rb30 id be pushing more like 350rwhp and yours is an rb25 head so should make more power.

Is this justin by any chance??

It made 311rwhp @ 19-20psi but wasn't happy it would spike at high revs.. so 15-16psi it was happy, Yes it should have made more but there was afew little problems.. Injectors, coil park, sparkys just to name afew.. they where all going to get changed but sold it before any of it could happen

there had to have been a huge problem to explain the low power, probably timing related
