hum say that to mick with his jun super lemon 2 i have had the pleasure of driving and with a 9.12 and that was last year i am sure he would do a 1/4 with you lol to be fair though i agree that alot of people have loads of power and no results but i don't want to waste lots of money tuning my coop if i don't see good results.

Depends if your end goal is creating a car that will do a quarter in a set time. It's also very possible you might want to have a car that drives nicely on the road, or is more suited to braking and cornering on a track.

It's not all about power. Gearing, weight and frontal area make a massive difference. from memory a gtr is 1650kg, if it's making 500 bhp thats 330 bhp per ton. it's also got extra power losses through the 4wd system. a coupe weights 1300kg if it's making 400bhp that 325 bhp per ton. Anyway I think you can see what i'm getting at, cheers tim

mick used his jun super lemon everyday and has full interior and street spec. flea like i said i think your car is amazing and to achive that hats of to you and i really mean that.
we all know i boils down to more than bhp per ton and i don't see many cars keeping with a 500bhp r32 gtr to be fair.
the thing is i have been there done that want a new car/ new challange but at the same time i want a capble car thats going to work well as a very fast road car.

Out with the Greddy, in with the AVCR. I've turned the boost down for now, although I've still to tweak it a bit, I *only* pushed 1.9 bar so I've got a slightly lower* torque figure but I've got a few things planned. 430BHP and rising.... Yup, still standard internals *Actually it's pretty much the same.

Have you got nothing better to do with your time than continue to torture that poor car?

Ach, nah I only worry about things once they happen I actually did a compression test not long after Knockhill, which was at the end of October, and all cylinders were 11.5bar accross the board.

I would love to go in a car running such high boost eg 1.8+ just to see what it feels like when it hits full boost if tht makes sense. now its got me thinking what boost shall i get leighton to map mine too. . .

Matty when i rebuild mine i think maybe you should come down and map it for me? We seem to think along the same lines and your mental mapping will compliment my mental driving!!
