That's what she said?

Enter the sequential twin turbo :D lets put it this way.... when my tranny got jammed between 5th and 6th I got stuck at a light.... the tools behind me (in a boosted jetta) was being a total ass. When the light turned green and I managed to get through the left hand turn onto a 2 lane rd he tried to pass me.... idle in 5th is about 15mph... I stomped on it and he couldn't get around me... from idle. His rear got to about my front bumper before I got into decent power but still, he couldn't get around me in 5th from idle.. :fawk: is what he got when I pulled away from him :rofl:

Traction control!!!! Hopefully this will be dialed in for Deals, you've gotta drive her Phil... it'll be like a reunion.... your ass in your old seats :rofl:

Again!!?!?!?!! :lol:

i get what you're saying. all things being equal, it all comes down to know-how and self-honesty. however, for many, it's all egos, self-delusions and plain stupidity. many people don't seem to want to accept that there is a difference between a street car, a streetable car, a raceable car and a race car. compromises can be made, but at the risk of sounding self-righteous, if you look at a 700 HP 13B Rx-7 and think "4 season daily driver", then you're probably an idiot.

forget the 20B arguments for a minute. one of my pet peeves on the other board has always been the insistence by some people to go out and buy JC 13Bs for FBs and FCs because they need the "extra strength" for the BNR Stage 2 or T04S projects. a little bit of extra time and careful application would net good results on a S4 or S5 13BT - bottomline is you could build a really FAST car with those "lesser" blocks. it vexes me to no end when those same retards report back a month later - Cosmo engine all blown to shit ... at a whopping 340 HP.

I agree!

FFS I had 590bhp from a S5 block no poofter extra dowels in 1997! :leaving: Made many other cars based on S4 and S5 blocks all on stock manifolds and all at similar power and the owners NEVER ever wanted for anything more.

The world is getting stupider with the advent of the internet rather than smarter is seems to me. BDC has allot to do with it :icon_tup:

Can't wait!!

I agree.. In modern era with 500+HP cars weighing 3500+ with all the modern idiot proof cars could be daily driven.. but our RX7 era with sub 3000lbs with no idiot proof electronics, it requires 'actual' driving skills.
Like I said before, and I have said to many many people at shows, I'm just not 'talented' as some to handle 500+ HP cars. Straight line and maybe at a drag strip, I might be.. But personally, my 300 HP ish, seq twin, FD is enough for me to have fun. I just can't wait to get my silver FD running good so I could go Rice Rice baby on my MB and make it useless :)

hahahahah I got to meet the ice man once :) we need to meet up and do some local bham night runs...

You are missing the biggest point here... Horse power SELLS, period. It's just the way the performance car world works.

oh forgot to mention........ I am building a 1400bhp 4 rotor twin turbo road car that will weight 2000lb :willy_nilly:

Bullshit until we see pics with some cute little blonde holding a sign that says Join RCC

8000km is dick all! And 400rwhp on the street is not fast:)

Come tune my car. Its dyno proven 400rwhp and see if you can make a difference. I will strap it on the dyno and do a pull. You perform your magic and see if there is a difference. If you don't tune my car then your full of shit. Read between the lines.... :)

P.S that is 400+rwhp, two ems (Moving to the Platinum2000 and two turbo changes and over 60,0000km++++

:) Any fighting words in there for ya....

My street car (1990 TII) has the stock untouched turbo, never even opened up motor and stock ECU. Just modified all the stock existing parts tuned with a NEO and still will break the tires loose all the way from 1st to 3rd. Even rolling in 3rd, the tires will break loose. these are 255 wide tires that are decently sticky...

I have learned that for a daily, TII and FD's do not need any "real" upgrades. Anything more is just for fun but is not really usable unless your some dumb fuck doing 65+ mph rolls on the highway... gayyyy

You need to try to dial in the rear suspension a little more. At over 400rwhp 3rd will barely break loose on 255/40's and I should have >100 whp over a stock ht18

:willy_nilly: :302:

8000km at high duty cycle (percentage of time at full power and revs) is different to 60,000+++km on lower duty cycle...

Differences aside...

I have had and done this since 1997 (590bhp first gen) 478rearhubhp (< measured at lower boost), much more than estOjet fictional figures (prob 500+ lol) 60,000km no problems, done the same on many other customers cars and repeated the HP and distance covered easily :)

As the last poster eluded to, it is BDC super gay wanting more :dunno: though sometimes we all have an inner rampant homo pony tail non intercooled 25psi gene wanting to come out from the closet :117: aka more powerz


:tongue1::grouphug::smilielol5:

Dude! you need some tires and suspension lol. My thing making 550bhp (~25psi, TO4Z, Don Mega set up) on 255's and Ohlin's dialed in will "just" break the tires rolling in 3rd gear. You would have 200+bhp less and more weight helping traction. Are you sure you don't have an open differential and a set of nankangs that are harder than Peter North's wang?

Its a s4 TII diff. The rear is a little stiff. I have Cusco coilovers and solid mounts everywhere. So that's part of it. And I have a fuel cell which takes a lot of the weight out of the rear reducing traction some also. But I'm not worried about that. I have a set of Weld Pro stars with some M/T slicks and skinnies for the front when I want it to hook ;)
