Anything more than around 250kw@4 wheels as a daily driver in a 2L is not going to be a nice daily.

How’s the drive, traction and power delivery after a week of driving? Have you had a chance to do a launch yet with LC? I’m getting lots of wheels spin.....I could imagine you’d be struggling a bit also. I added a pendulum mount which firmed it up some more, the next step is for better tyres...also after 20k km and many launches those stock tyres are getting a bit bald...Quote:

Launch controlled it once at the 3k RPM, slight wheel spin but it puts it down just so well. I don't really drive it in sport too much but i believe that would make traction much more interesting. At 30k km and I was told my Contis should last until 45k km, I will then be moving to Michelin P4S.Quote:

I don’t think I would want any more than 250 with stock internals. That’s around 330 engine kw.Quote:

Probably had old tech, my prev setup made 372kW and was all in by 3800rpm in 3rd. Billet compressor wheels help quite a bit, new setup in the R33 sietbok should make well over 420kW (waiting for fabricators) and I'm aiming all in by 4200rpm at most, with positive manifold pressure by 2500rpm.Quote:

DSG is a bit harder as you get off the line at pretty much idle, unless you abuse LC :)
GT30 with 0.86 rear and 0.76 front, Power FC and Greddy Profec B, full boost by 4300rpm, this was back in 2002 so tech at the time.. Found some old pictures..Quote:

Must have cost you a bomb back then too! Z32 and PowerFC!
Funny how things don't change lol, nek minnit there's a Borg Warner EFR7163 on the side of your motor 😂
That’s a pretty nice and clean engine bay! It would have been a beast back in the day.Quote:

14psi it made 260kw@wheels, 24psi it made 335kw@wheels, it tried to kill me if I drove on the street at the higher power level...Quote:

It al did, custom made turbo manifold and dump pipe setup also, was not much off the shelf around those days. Was waiting for the engine to go bang before I rebuilt it but it never did, I was using a 50% 108 octane mix when tracking it ($8 a litre). Got married and built first house so didnt happen...Car sat in the garage for nearly 1 year unused before I ended up selling it to some 19 year old...Quote:
