From my calculations there is probably ~$6000 plus in going from your previous target (446 rwkw) to this 540rwkw Due to the complexity of a non direct bolt on G series vs GTX series it might be worth the effort/money Time will tell especially how it drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Tucker Donating Members 614 Member For: 4y 9m 18d Posted 16/12/20 06:32 AM Share Posted 16/12/20 06:32 AM Its a fair question. I think for most people probably not, but this is just an interim step for me. I wanted to get the turbo setup and everything working together on the stock motor before building it. I guess most people would do it the other way around. But now I know the setup is capable of 600kw easily, I can build the motor to handle that all day, noting I'm way more interested in response and midrange. That 500+kw was never a goal, just part of the test and evaluation process of an ongoing build that seeks to optimise everything that I can, within reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Tucker Donating Members 614 Member For: 4y 9m 18d Posted 16/12/20 07:59 AM Share Posted 16/12/20 07:59 AM I actually had an FGX XR8 previously. Prefer the turbo, but that's just me 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Great results though mate Edited 16/12/20 08:06 AM by Puffwagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a manual the lag would not be great on the street. Is it deliberately ramped in slowly? I think peak boost at or under 3000rpm is perfect for a street barra, if you have the driveline and tyres to handle it. Guessing with a built engine would go to about 28psi?

Tom Tucker Donating Members 614 Member For: 4y 9m 18d Posted 16/12/20 08:56 PM Share Posted 16/12/20 08:56 PM Yeah, its deliberately ramped on slowly. Build motor I'd like to be able to run 30psi, but whether my budget can stretch to fire rings etc we shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
