Ah, but is that 380bhp "Pub talk power" or 380bhp "Real Power" ? There is a difference

Cheers

380 bhp that must have been on PE's rollers i guess.

ARRON BIRD

REAL power :
Nice to see you again today Ian.

IWatkins

Arron,

As usual, real pleasure to see you and Steve again. That Skyline rocks, but tell Steve to get some brakes

Cheers

I was asking Autospotif about this car last week... being the doubter that I am and here's the spec:

Original 1997 UK spec. 2.0Ltr. turbo.
Engine - 2.2Ltr. 383bhp @ 6100rpm, 380 lb/ft torque @ 4000rpm. Autosportif
long stroke steel crankshaft, steel con rods, Cosworth pistons, gas flowed
cylinder heads, reprofiled cams, lightened flywheel, baffled sump pan, big
injectors, hybrid turbo, silicone turbo hoses, 4-branch equal length exhaust
manifold, 75mm dia. stainless steel exhaust system, Motec M48 ECU, max rpm
8200, top speed in excess of 160mph. Additional Bosch fuel pump +
anti-surge tank.

Brake - Brembo 4-pot front with 330mm drilled AP discs. STI Ver.VI rear.
Radius R3 7.5"x17" wheels with Pirelli PZero tyres.

Body/Interior - JUN front lip spoiler. STI Ver.V boot spoiler. Leather
seats & door trims.

Suspension - STI dampers with Autosportif rate springs + roll bars.

The car has only done 20,000 genuine miles, engine done 3,000 miles. Full
service history.

If annyone is seriously interested (they've got little time for dreamers ) give Martyn Spurrell a call at Autosportif on 01869 345626 if that's busy then call 01869 346900.

Going throught the spec I think 380 brake is reasonable, provided that they've got a decent intercooler on there. I'd suspect that the figures came from Superchips rollers if that gives you any idea of how 'real' they are

Cheers,

Tim

Anyone know the price they are asking? I may be in the market for a motor.

How much would it cost for those engine mods!

If its Superchips - can anyone convert to Powerstations likely figures?

The torque looks plausible? - running with water injection at least! - but 383hp?

Power station figures:

6,827,900 BHP (At the wheels)

Cem = Funny bloke

Superchips rollers in my experience are usually around the middle between Powerstation and Power Engineering. I would estimate 365bhp and 370 lb/ft on Powerstations rollers.

But hey, we will never find out

Cheers

Why not?

I am now going to just rely on Powerstation as a benchmark as a recent event day resulted in some unusual results! (ie lots more mods over standard but a reduction in torque!)

Next on my list is water injection and ELMH, then if I'm still bored its the full engine internals I'm afraid - something I would have done last summer if a certain Pete Croney had not nicked my spot at Warrens!

What a relief - was beginning to think the real power of my Scooby to be about 0.01106 bhp allowing for a 40% transmission loss!!

Stuart, 21k is what their asking...the engine probably cost in the region of 12k

steve McCulloch

With those mods £12k is very conservative indeed!

Damn...

Sounds like my car.. nearly

Yes J,

Except that Impreza has 380hp. 380.

Not 280

Craig and you forgot...it is less like the ilegitamate love child of a Massey Furguson and HMS Ark Royal
