My car is still running the 450cc jap vr4 injectors, and it's put down 210rwkw on the dyno. Granted there can be discrepancies between dynos, but i would hope that it wouldn't be as bad as + or - 30kw

I could easily spin the wheels in my mate's old 253 powered bommadore in 2nd and it made perhaps 100rwkw I would suspect. It had good torque and was hence a fun car on the street, even if not that quick in reality.

also, you can have 4" everything 1800cc injectors, huge turbo and tb, but your motor will only make as much power as the bottle neck will allow - in this case, the concensus seems to be that the l300 manifold is a severe bottle neck - the sonata one not as much.

yeah will be getting it tuned for obviously more torque over power i guess.. i could settle on 150 - 200rwkw if the torque reading is decent and i get sideways easy enough. going the sonata manifold route i think.. and whatever else is stated in my build thread.. but yeah i understand what you mean..

200rwkw is enough to drift 3rd on a track, hell 200rwhp is enough to spin 3rd...

A mate of mine is selling them, they require 25mm bolt ons at the front though which are included. Tim put 17 inch mahdi mesh rims on this car..
