what? no one would get anywhere in the tuning industry if there wasnt information...

if he did it, someone did it before him and thats where he got it - if he has a penis he wouldnt hide the shit if he was a true racer. a haya is a drag or top speed bike anyways, and people looking for an all around package wouldnt get anything so bloated despite the top speed.

we're just now seeing the technology they used in top fuel and nascar a decade or so ago. You're saying that they should openly share what they did to their cars before the race? wait a while, let people figure it out for themselves, if not wait till you've done something better then tell them your old secrets.

technology and tuning is a nitch market, if you have an advantage in tuning you dont go sporeading it eerywhere, you keep it a secret and do your lil tricks that no one else can do to make more money.

Originally posted by getfoul lol the highest HP on stock twins is around 700 something. i raise the BS flag.

he never said stock twins

its pretty easy to get 1000hp from twins, if you have the cash. Twin HKS GT3037's will do that, but of course you'd need uprated internals, transmission, fuelling etc etc.

opn the subject of the mustang...its sooooo cheap!!! It would cost (if you did a straight USD to GBP exchange) around 13,000 pounds! Unfortunately, the importers who will bring it over here will bring it back up to around 20,000 pounds (which is around $33,000) For 13,000 and a decent V6 rear drive car, you can't go wrong. Here are some comparison cars...

Honda civic type-r (16,000 pounds, 199 bhp, fwd)
Seat Leon Cupra - R+ (18,000 pounds 225 bhp, fwd)
Ford Focus RS - (22,000 pounds, 215 bhp, fwd)
VW Golf R32 - (expensive (cant remember price or chp or drive )

mustang = bargain

i don't like fwd

Nissan 200SX S13 - 170 bhp RWD = 1000pounds - 2000 pounds
Nissan 200sx S14 and S14a - 200bhp RWD = 3000-5000 pounds
Modified S14 and S14a = at least 300bhp = 5000-7500 pounds



can you guess what my next car is

I don't like FWDs either, which is why I have 2 of the above mentioned cars(TA S13/S14 ALLIANCE!)
BUT the S13(called a 180sx here) is a 2.0litre(the SR20DETT) and puts out 153kw stock(205hp) NOT 170hp. I think you're reffering to the 1.8 litre CA18DETT S13

The S14 uses the same SR20DETT engine, but revs 1000 less =\

PICS:
Me at the carwash:


Yep, that's a lancer evo 6


Parked in the driveway



The S13



The S14 has a freeflow exaust and the boost wound up to 16psi. I;m guessing output would be around 235hp. I'm working on the S13s exhaust(it's stock) but the boost@16psi too.

Oh yeah, here's a pic of that lancer I ran into at a show:

yeah in europe we don't get the 180SX

we only get the poncy CA18DET, but at least it has a stronger top end than the SR20 (don't mention the bottom end! )

here are a few pics of some cars at a meet...before we went to terrorise the town by street racing...

Nice Clean RX7, with the same Volks Rims as on your S13











One of my mates just fitted a tubular manifold to his S14a before we hit the streets. His car is running around 350bhp by our estimates, but he hasn't had it dyno'd yet. Mods include Blitz Nur Spec exhaust, Hybrid FMIC, brand new Garrett roller bearing T-28 at 16 psi, tubular manifold, cold plugs and Apexi Power FC



I hope you've got an intercooler and cold plugs to go with that exhaust when you put it on, no one likes to see an engine go pop!
