Jb, if you car hasnt even been set up propely do you even think it will be 500 bhp?

I think you might be less so you might be comparing a 450 saf to a 700 bhp skyline and giving yourself a hard time for no reason.

So he is giving himself less of a chance before he even starts.

Tell the guy with the skyline to come back when the saf is set up for a rematch!

Bollocks, that car is way more than 450bhp IMHO

Ive been in plenty of 500bhp+ cossies, and JB's car pulls the same sort of way you would expect one too.

Faye,

Post em up !!

Euan, it's roughly around the 500hp mark (fly obviously), everything I been up against says it's round that figure, everyone who's been out in it confirms that, including Chip

In that vid I'm in 3rd gear STILL spinning the new 235's on the back & you can hear me lick the limiter

I know it's all arse dyno figures. but roughly speakin it's that.

What terminal does a 500hp 2wd Cossie do down the 1/4 ?? 125/130 ?? Mine hit 119 mph but rolled the last 100/150 yards of the strip cos I lost 4th gear

When me & that Skyline went rollin 3rd gear, there was hardly anything in it. He pulled yeah, but only just

PLUS, who's to say the Skyline is actually 700hp ??

Re-match comin

jb

P.s. Not givin myself a hard time, it's all a giggle I got whoooped, so now I got something to aim for !!

in the gte when i had around 350-400 it used to run 121 and it could waste most cossies (well everyone i ever meet on the road).

so i would say you need close to 500 to pull them terminals


and on the new spec ive started picking on the old fords already

JB's Cossie wont have 500bhp unless its set up perfectly, its way off, safe but wayoff. Prob is very few cossies have the power they quote only way is against the clock im afraid. All cossies over 400bhp feel fast, but perhaps you guys need to come out in a really fast one. If that skiline had a real 700bhp it would have left jb for dead none of this you held him for a bit sounds like a double bullshit race to me. Sorry JB your car aint that fast, but the way you drive it people think it is..

chip, its not THAT much faster than my ( 400bhp ) car when we had a few tinkers before. i would have expected a car of his spec (when runnng 100%) to pull a lot harder

altho this was before you saw it when it had problems with the injectors and lowboost etc. now i think about it he mentioned it was running a lot better the other week

So you are saying an MAD perfectly setup engine with a GT35R will give 500bhp?

Crikey, thats about 100bhp less than other tuners, mark must be rubbish

Rod,

In Marks words when I spoke to him bout the lump prior to buyin it off Phil was, the only thing he would worry about goin OVER 550hp is the rods as their standard. The heads ported for 600hp & runnin 7.4:1 c/r.

Rod, you haven't been out in my car, next time I see ya thats what we're doin, then you tell me

Jim, those times you followed me, I wasn't really givin it cos the injectors & other issue's + I knew if it's gonna let go it's gonna be on the motorway.

Prior to this car, I had a proven 425hp Saph, been on numerious rr days, Harvey's dyno etc & this car would chew that up no probs !!

How much is a power run ?? Would you lot accept Torque of the devils figures ??

Euan, not a prob man, I know where ya comin from !!

that is a very arrogant post !

rod we all know your car is very fast, but it is more that the normall its kind of in a class of its own along with a few other cars.

jb's car gets used on a very regular basis and gets used hard, it is a fast car END OF.

no its not the fastest but there is always someone faster

i think saying full stop someones car is not fast and i have faster is a bit of a cunts thing to say.

i know what your car is like as im in the same boat

they are very fast road cars and its rare you meet a car that can beat them even on .6bar im still beating stage 3 cossies and m5's lol

but just because there not the fastest it dont mean they aint fast, anything that is faster than ''most'' cars they come up againest is fast imo

jb, makes sense about not driving hard, i forgot about the issues when i put that first post up, havenet seen it go since

as for power figures, tony will be able to tel you pretty much what power it is when he maps it, as apart from the fact he's got the experience of fast cossies he'd know that if he's putting in XXX fuel and yyy ignition at zzz rpm it's likely to produce (shit i'm running out of letters ) xxx BHP

doubt you really care what exact power figure it's producing anyway? as long as you're happy with the car thats what counts

Rod,

1.7 bar boost on a gt35 ruuning high 10's/low 11's afr. What power do you think it should be? I reckon it is 500 bhp at that boost

Think your find it was not stripped and had full trim and base box in boot running on Super Unleaded and was also having head gasket problems so it was not running anywhere near 630bhp and did a 11.9

Can we get if right please, cheers

Jeez another wild comment from Rod, I'd be very suprised if JB's engine has less than 500hp but until its been against the clock we won't know will we lol

A genuine 500hp is a F**king fast, no denying that, I've been out in 2 cars with engines that have made over 500hp on the SCS dyno and they were by far the fastest things to date I've experienced, however they didn't have a GT35 hanging off the side of them and going on the numbers that people make using those turbos I'd guess its 500+hp.

Just because Mark hasn't personally mapped that car there is no reason to doubt its making big numbers, I'd like to see it up Brunters but once there Jb can't help but lay black lines down everywhere and spit diffs out but if thats his things then so be it, were not all in it to prove what it can do in a straight line.

Not denying your car is quick though but ffs stop going on about it, at this rate JB will beat you to the end of Brunters as your thing won't even get you there
