Whats in volved and why do it? What benefits are there and generally WHY?

Also cost?

Just interested thats all.... Got a hybrid on there now (not sure of spec tho ) but a lil curious really

 

Get your arse on msn and I'll tell you about mine

 

just post it up

 

power output requirement thats why.

 

t34s old hat now! Remember OZ, Better turbo's out there.

Good value tho, pick one up for Ł300 easy and simple to fit (think scc & nms do elbow). Need a good spec (head and cam) and power will be higher up.

 

they for engine that need to develop over 280bhp. Lots and lots of other stuff needed before though.

 

Ah in that case no point being interested as I don't want that sort of power. Happy with me 175ish for time being, but even if I go for more bhp I don't want over 230/240 anyway

 

I think that's what most owners of high powered RS Turbo's thought and now look where some of us are

 

lol I never wanted 290bhp 200bhp was all I started out going for

 

tell me about it, when will it end

 

funny the goalposts have moved soo much recently.

290bhp would have been the most powerful RST a while back!

 

Yeah understand all of that, but still think that 230bhp in a VERY well set up (engine and suspension wise) with sensible and trick mods will out do a lot of these "bigger power" RST's and a fair few Cossies/Scoobs etc...

I know my last S1 which was about 140bhp used to beat my mates 165bhp S2 all day long. Not on the straights as him having more bhp made it pull away quicker, but I used to cain him on the bends and roundabouts cos my suspension was set up perfectly

Also been in a couple (and driven) with over 250bhp and a couple with jsut under 250bhp and the driveability is a lot better in the sub 250bhp cars IMO....

 

what about all that big power with a well set up car


thats what im aiming for




dont seem to get there thou, also see something else that i want

 

need to through all the catologues away i think and stop going on here


might get her done then

 

Disagree there. My car had enough grip in the dry, and handled very well indeed. It was a good all round package. It used to spin up a bit in 2nd, but still moved forward and by the time you were in 3rd wheelspin wasn't an issue.

 

So true

In the lower gears yeah its nigh-on impossible to get the power down, still damn good fun though and you can push stage 3 cossies along the motorway in 4th and 5th

 

Now that the T34 is on mine I find that I get hardly any wheel spin as the turbo comes in that much later taking away the unnecessary wheel spin that I had with my stage 3 T3 that I used to have.

It just seems so much better suited to my engine

 

pmsl at the moving goalposts

Been there before. Once I realised I had 150bhp I wanted 200bhp and thought that would be plenty. I got 200bhp and thought 250bhp would be nice but deffo no more. Now I'm at 250bhp and guess what I'm thinking?

 

Same here! No more pointless wheelspin.

 

So with no wheelspin and 290bhp how comes you only manage 15 sec quarters ?

Cheers

dan , raj's 500 is only stage3
