Well if I move to Aus I can add around 100bhp to my car, especially if its a Nissan Sunny gtir - dream on!

and if I move to Sweden I can add about 200bhp for the price of the trip and get a really 'driveable' Evo for the money!

Is Banzai becoming more like Max power with these Bu*lsh*t power claims!!

Had to get that off mi chest - I've have not read so much crap for a while

BHP is like beer its varies from pub to pub

At least they could make the power on the Nissan realistic - unless its possible to get this sort of power from 1.5 bar - is the Turbo that huge?

You cant get anywhere near this on an internally uprated 2 litre lump - well not running at 22psi!

I've just checked the type of turbo-HKS 3037S.I don't know what it's flow/power is like but there are quite a few other mods on the list too.I was more shocked that it still had the standard one pot 258mm brakes on!
A mate who's got one with a T35 makes 400bhp on 25psi and mine made 333bhp with the standard T28 at 16.5 psi-with no internal modifications.One bar sees 280-300bhp with only exhaust and filter mods.I've got a video clip of an Aussie GTiR doing a 10sec quarter and this is the sort of power you'd need to do that.
As for the Evo I was sceptical too until I read that it had now been mapped on race fuel at 2.4bar with a T66 turbo.The timed figures would back up the power too-0-60 2.9 0-120 9.05.

to get 2.9 seconds the guy must be really abusing the clutch - as does it not normally take a while to get these up to boost and then they fly - unless you side step with the revs very high - lessens clutch, rear diff, gearbox life etc

400bhp at 25psi - yeah this seems feasible on a T35, but 454 at 1.5 bar - ie several psi less no way

Theres a point you can go to with 2 liter engines on the advance, with decent fuel and octane boosters, but then unless you increase the capacity, surely bigger and bigger turbo's and higher boost are the only way to go

Unless that turbos huge and does not come onto say 1 bar until over 5000 rpm there aint noooo way that car is running 454bhp at 1.5 bar.... period!

With 1.7 bar say and upgraded internals on a Scooby I would expect to be around 400bhp on a Hybrid VF22, there is no point in sacrificing driveability with a bigger Garrett style turbo for say an additional 20bhp - there has to be a trade off.... despite the claims of some suppliers and distributors - surely its the laws of physics! on the turbo...

Its like going from a VF28 to a VF22 - lower down in the rev range the car feels a lot, lot slower, once you get moving then you start to benefit... but for most city driving its the quick several second dash thats the fun..
