Just pushing 300kw (your current power levels???) is not something anyone would be satisfied with, especially if the engine had as much work as your engine…… I guess buying someone else’s failed project for peanuts is your only saving grace, with that being said you might be ahead financially but you really are pissing in the wind with your current power levels.
What exactly did Revzone re-build??? What turbo do you have now that is choking your current set up???..... I can only guess it’s the car that’s the issue and not anything in or around the car.
Btw this forum has yet to see “big power”, so no big power guys to compare too, anything north of 400kw is big….. we have only seen a hand full of knock together engines that have either burnt to the ground or been re-built again due to fundamental engine building knowledge which the builders didn’t have to start with.
GB there are also many liberty around Sydney…. In fact some inter-state with unopened engines that are daily drivers (most hard) that with right custom turbo upgrade and support mods are pushing 260kw+ all day every day……. Now considering what was spent on your engine, who really would be better off???
Slightly back on topic…..
At the end of the day if you want pay $400 or 500 buck for road tuned car go for it, but don’t expect an all-round flawless product the first time round, on the flip side you can pay $1200+ to a Subaru specialist who spends 2 hours on a dyno to give you a pretty dyno graph, but when you question their tune, they head for the hills and don’t want to know you.
mate i never wanted it to be 400awkw anyone thats got half a brain would know the blocks start to flex around that and possible below.... most guys up at that power are driving ticking time bombs imo
i think your wrong i think 300awkw is pretty good on 98 in summer on a dyno thats known to break hearts, everyone else making that kind of power uses e85! i guess i could run it on rev zones and it would be 330awkw but thats not the point really.
rev zone rebuilt it after mrt's build was using a litre of oil to a tank of fuel....
turbo from what the turbo builder said is a custom 60-1 made into a ball bearing unit thats internal gated, it made the power the original owner wanted so they were happy, personally for the amount of money it cost there are far better options out there, when i stop going os i might have the cash to repalce it with something better suited.
im happy for these guys with un opened engines... good on them, they wont last though. and id dare say lots are on corn too??
either way i dont care what you think about my car, it goes good i thrash it and its still together, im still getting on top of the issues it has had.
seems like you single me out for some reason? did i hit a nerve with something ive said here? or in another thread? if so why dont you spit it out like a man, dont hold back and start saying shit about my car aye. seems childish how you have said things about my car!!! really bro good on ya!!!
merry chistmas
when are u back in town?
