Do YOU think over 500WHP is needed on the street? You are the one with "soon to break 500WHP on a 2.5 stay tuned" in their signature.

 

Yup... its need on the drag strip and for bragging rights at the car show!

 

Well, for one you get earlier boost kicking in on 2.7L+engines rather than the standard 3,000-3,300rpms on 2.5L, you get 2,800 or even less.

Also, you get more power at lower boost levels (obviously). This is all something i expected you to know NZ951, regardless of power levels, not everyone wants to runs race gas and push 20+psi daily. How does 450+whp at 16psi where 1bar is achieved at 2,800rpms on pump gas sound?

 

Who's achieved that figure HOS ?

 

?? you are pulling my leg right ??? There are at least 3 threads (7+pages long) on such dyno's/datalogs and so on, one of them is by closest friend IIRC who just got his car back from a tuner a week ago or so.

 

Thats the thing - its nice to know its there. The problem is that you cannot get wide enough street tires under a standard width body to justify 500 rwhp.

I just run around at 17-18 psi and pump gas timing (about 460 hp) - more than enough to bitch-slap a new 997 carrera S into the weeds.

 

"Well, for one you get earlier boost kicking in on 2.7L+engines rather than the standard 3,000-3,300rpms on 2.5L, you get 2,800 or even less."

Show us.

 

Hosrom - you cannot limit this statement to displacement change alone. The onset of boost is a result of the relationship between displacement and turbo selection.

 

Who has 1 bar at 2,800 or less on a 2.7? Where is the dyno chart?

 

Tool: Yes, obviously the turbo selection plays a big role with onset of boost.

Take rage2 for the example on spool (not power), he gets 1bar at 2,753rpms

 

Does rage2 have a 2.7 now?

 

Notice what i said earlier:

He has a 2.8, see the PLUS sign after the 2.7L in the post above??

Look, i am not here to cause trouble, there is info in the archives that i am just bringing back

 

Yes I see the plus sign, I also see the 2.7. FYI 2.7+ includes 2.7. So where is the 2.7 example you are talking about?

 

Hey NZ, sorry to hijack the thread but I laugh my *** off every time I read your sig. Haven't seen Rolex for a while. Did you guys scare him off?

 

I dont know what you mean Joe

PS you been back to the dyno yet? I am really curious about your cruves!
