Hey guys, Thought it would be interesting to list what mods your car has and what power it has pulled on a dyno and 1/4 times if possible. Please no BULLSH*T.

Alrighty. I was told by Dennis @ P.E.T that my setup will pull 240rwkw more or less depending on engine integrity. GT35 bb 700hp turbo w/internal w-gate, Microtech, 3" exhaust, PET Fmic, custom clutch, malpassi rising reg.. all on standard fuel setup and internals. on about 14psi. Sorry these arent concrete rwk figures, but he knows his sh!t.. thats no bull. lol Dunno about 1/4mile times.. I'd love to know what times 240rwkw will get.. Im guessing low 12's with slicks. I know 165rwks can do a 13.2 with ****ty road tyres. I thought that was pretty good considering. And thats proven.. mate has slips and all. Anyway.. should be a good thread providing everyone tells the truth lol Tim

rwkw doesnt really mean ur gonna pull this and that time, it all depends on the setup, my old setup with 207rwkw @ low boost ran a 12.1 on slicks

I am looking forward to pushing 20psi + out of her! Dave

yes flwlss thats true. There are alot of varying factors to consider. I might only get a 12.5sec pass with that power because of traction issues, where as you got a 12.1sec pass with only 207rwks.. its all f*cked up lol.. But anyway DAVE: thats a tasty little setup. Why did you opt for the 363's? what flow are they rated at? I've been hearing all sorts of injector theories, 036's, 363's 747's lol apparently they are all really expensive.. i know 036's are like $1000.. i've heard of volvo injectors fitting, rx7, porche, GTR, pfft heaps more.. and they are all cheaper.. any truth to this?

Well I did the turbo conversion to my n/a and with just a 2.5" exhaust and CAI I pulled 122.8RWKW on 7psi. it's ok for a tired n/a, it makes it 175kw at the engine which is 15kw more than a stock turbo.

rb25det with haltech E6k, 3 inch exhuast, FMIC, malpassi reg, 18psi, netted 280rwhp, but only managed a 13.6 down the quarter (manual with HARD clutch) Now finalizing an rb25 with twin T3 turbos, custom intake, 570cc injectors, staging, 20psi. Hoping for 370rwhp.

I would like to see 240rwkw with standard fuel setup I have a GT35/40 as well and only made 170rwkw on 9psi before it was out of fuel, no way you could make 240rwkwby just adding a malpassi, anyone agree with this

Also guy's remember a manual car will always show higher figures, generally in most cases around 30rwkw difference, mine is auto

Tim, I went for the 363 Injectors as I got them for a great price and they flow alot more than 036. I agree also that you can't get 240rwkw of the standard fuel setup!

Just run 13B turbo injectors, they are 550cc, fit straight in also.

if he sets base FP up a bit and has the 1.7:1 rising rate (not normal RR malpassi) might be close though. the main problem is the base FP can only be changed about 10% b4 the ECU will not be able to get idle and cruise in closed loop then your ecomomy will ne sh1thouse and plugs will foul etc.

Yea your right HSVSUX, With the Microtech 240 maybe achievable at 14psi. No way it could handle more boost though with the standard injectors. Fuel pressure would have to be up yes.
