Might be a good result, or might be a shit result, depending on spec, if its a GT42R and it doesnt make any boost below 6000rpm and then is peaky as hell then its not much use.

Post the graph, a single BHP figure means loads in "max power" magazine but feck all in reality.

Hi

Was at the Dyno with Neil & Mark & left when Power was at 574bhp (some of us have to work)so Knew 600+ was on. Good result from all concerned.
WELL DONE CARWISE.

Wow!!!!! 600bhp+ who would have thought it going back a couple of years!!! back then 500bhp was the limit, with a proper T4 touring car spec!

How many is that now? three 600bhp+ cossies? or is there more? Porkies, Rods, Dolomite? oh and this one!

Very well done, those involved

320bhp per litre can't be bad - and the torque figure is very good too

Out of interest, what sort of torque figures would a similarly powered Skyline reach? I've always had the impression it is quite low for them?

Phil- Depends how the car is specced, but generally a RB26 has low torque as it has very short stroke (ie they can rev to 9500-12000 rpm), ive seen them have as little as 400lb/ft with that sort of power, with peak torque at 7000rpm!

Whats 80kg/m in lb/ft? That might give you an answer.

Chip that's because he is or at least was still at Simon's ( the dyno) might be hard for him to post - should he want to of course.

Well done Neil!!!

Neil has to unbolt the engine and get it back to York. I doubt we will see any graphs until this evening. I also know that his computer is on the blink

578lb/ft does that sound about right ?
