Nissan Pulsar GTI-r
Got a m8 with a 300bhp pulsar. The problem is he kills my scoob as i only have a uk turbo 2000
Wondering what brake horse i need to beat him
Is it right that a scoob has to have 60 brake more than a pulsar to beat it? 
Cheers
Darren

Look at the power/torque to weight ratios, and bare in mind that AWD means off line advantage that even some more powerful FWD/RWD cars won't be able to recoup over the 1/4 mile!

Yeah it's in a straight line. He's timed his 0-60 at 4.7 secs. Its pretty quick have to spend a bit more money on the scoob.
Cheers for the replays

You could weight save, and just do the usual if the IC allows.
Exhaustand de-cat. there are plenty to be had on here. Then i would say upgrade the pads at least if not the discs. You have to make sure you can stop the car before taking performance further. DS2000, or PADGID, do a search in the technical section for stockist and prices.
Then i would probably start with the induction, personly, i would go the uprated element route rather than induction kit. They have been know to kill MAF sensors which i belive can lead to terminal engine faliure in some cases. (im sure i will be corrected on that if im wrong)
Then the last easy thing i would be doing is maybe some suspension, i know prodrive springs are available for newage cars, if they supply classics, get some, then you will have a good base motor to play with when money and IC's allow

get a fmic and then challenge him to a best of five runs on a hot day quite quickly after each other. By the third run you will probably be beating him (unless he has a fmic as well!) as the heat soak on the gtir is awful, much worse than the scoobs
he will then be running 1.2 bar of boost. Will be eben harder then.

basically your fubared then!! Do a challenge series then. Few quarter miles, and a few timed laps around a track somewhere. You should beat him around a track, besides at over 300 bhp he will loose the gearbox at some stage (unless its been uprated!)

the gearing on a pulsars standard box wouldnt allow it to get to 160.
they were quick in there day, but in standard form compared to that of a current jap performance car, its miles behind in all aspects, handling, engine technology, the usual jap performance car really.
plus, there even uglier than the bugeye.
last year at York, i raced one down the strip and tore in a new **** hole (pardon the french). gets back up to the group line up, he comes across to find out what i had done to mine. Nothing, its a standard WRX PPP just out the show room. He claimed his was running 320+bhp with 280ft/lb. My reply, oh right, then i got a phone call thankfully....
something amiss there then....
