I have to disagree. A clutch that can handle over 350rwhp is $1000 just to buy it. The list goes on. 480 rwhp will cost close to $8,000 dollars minimum in just parts. Don't under estimate what it takes. A 320 to 350 rwhp car can be done for around 4,000 plus the labor. If anybody believes any different please feel free to explain how they have done it. LR has just that. A 480 rwhp car. It's a race car. Tally up what it took him to get 480. I can see over my estimate just when you pop the hood. A kit like Vr is an excellent platform. But it's just that. A platform. I have no dought that his kit can produce 480rwhp. Add up everything else that you will need to allow the car to make it there. It's not chump change.

Jimbo,
We are saying the same thing , i said if everything on his car is in place and perfect ( this includes that he already had an uprated clutch and the engine everything is perfect. ) then 400 whp is doable for 4500 but 480 is out of the question, that jump will require more .
Ooh by the way who is LR with a 480 whp racecar.

"I hope noone has the impression that I slapped a bunch of **** onto my car and trucked it over to the dyno"

Ahh yea, I think we all thought that!!!!

Well, PorshhhhhJohn with stock turbo and just MAF/piggy back, WG, exhaust and 20psi, rolling off up top some, made 301rwhp. So add those parts up. Much less then 4K.

At least those are the main upgrades I think he had.

Isn't the VR basic chip package for a few hundred $$$ making like 280rwhp on 1 bar.

aeronautica86

thats for the turbo s at 16psi, but yeah, pretty much

He has basically guaranteed me at least 480 at the wheels and a free dyno run after all the work is done in order to prove it. It's gonna cost me a little over 4 grand. It's a great deal considering that he's going to install a new turbo, bigger injectors, have it for two weeks for dyno tuning, and he's going to install a new wastegate, a wide band O2 sensor, and an all new engine managment. The only thing attached to my upgraded turbo (other than the intercooler pipes) is a filter. No need for chips, and the car will be tuned for 21-22 psi. I'm hoping for 500 at the wheels.

I am very much the newbie and my dollar outlay so far is well over 6k and counting and I am doing all the work myself!!!

I shudder to think what a shop would have charged me so far.

Keep in mind these cars are like snowflakes and onions, everyone is different and when you open her up it’s just one thing after another, and everything I do mean everything cost money.

If you can get that kind of HP for 4k more power to you…But I would love to try what that dude is smoking

that guy was on here for months saying the previous owner of his car told him he had cheater k26, then one night he went out and videotaped his boost gauge and it suddenly became a regular k26/6. look at the boost curve for his dyno run, where the boost comes in and how long it holds it and then try comparing that to a stock k26/6 and see if they look anything alike.

pole position

Plus the dynojet sheet he posted was uncorrected .

I have seen a k26/8 with 300 whp at 22 psi. Low milage 951s. Everything on the car was in tip top shape. This was the highest I have ever witnessed. I believe the mbc he had was hoodup wrong and running the turbo's ***** out.

shaheed

that's a 26/8 jimbo, he was claiming this on a 26/6.

porshhhh951

gawd dammit here we go again.

look guys for a loooong time I had no freggin clue what turbo was on the car. The previous owner said it could be a cheater setup due to the fact the car was tracked alot in virgina. I still had never had the intake manifold off much less anything else so who was I to argue?

I took it to my mechanic who told me it was a stock 26/6 but, lets be fair here without ripping its guts apart how can we really know. It is the stock cold side and hot side housing...NOTHING IS DIFFERENT. to the naked eye it looks completely stock but, then again after researching the old huntley cheeter turbos thats what they were supposed to do.

My boost drops 5psi by redline. I think my car preforms like it does because i had a 951 with 20-25k on the motor/turbo/tranny/rear end/ect/ect/ and it was well cared for. I had alot of good parts put on by someone who knows there **** and boosted the heck outta it.

20psi falling to 15psi by redline on a small *** turbo like this one aint everything. My car is christmas slow compared to some of the 951's on this board. Its nothing to brag about.

After all this time who the **** cares. My mechanic says stock and when we were doing my HG swap I had several other 951 people over and they all say stock. My car just runs well for what it is..................a slow stock turbo 944.

It wont always be that way though

porshhhh951

it was also off the charts rich is some areas...greatly hurting full boost.

the car with its air/fuel cleaned up is prolly actually making more power now

that's the point dude, the cheater turbos were designed to pass tech inspection as a stock turbo (hence the "cheater" label), eyeballing it is not going to tell you whether it's a cheater or not. i've had both a cheater and a stock k26/6 (amongst other turbos), i'm fully aware of what the differences between the two look like on the dyno. if huntley could get 290rwhp out a cheater k26/6 with their crappy *** maf setup it's not a stretch that the more modern/tunable lindsey system can make 10 more rwhp. if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....BTW i didn't slam you, call your call slow or anything like that. just pointing out some inaccurate information that some folks are propogating.
