I was at the local publican last night and was chatting to a friend of a friend. Now my mate was telling this bloke about the car I'm buiding, BF Turbo forged bottom end, and this guy told me I was wasting my money. He said that it will cost way too much and it wont be worth it as I'll have a slow car. Now this guy had a VX R8 Clubby and he claimed to have spent thousands on it and it would beat the pants off my car, so I asked him what he had done to it and he told me it had a "killowatt chip" and an exhaust. He said it made 355 RWKW and he had dyno sheets to prove it. These came out standard with 255KW at the flywheel. I'm not sure what a killowatt chip is but will it make that much extra power? I highly doubt it but I dont know for sure. Anyways what do you guys reckon? I'm pushing for 300-350RWKW out of my turbo once its up and running. So is this guy a douchebag or for real?

Guest Guests Posted 26/09/08 12:50 AM Share Posted 26/09/08 12:50 AM He's a douche but why are you building a forged engine for 300 - 350rwkw? The standard BF bottom end will hold that power fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not hey! So whats this Kllowatt chip he was talking about? does it even exist? Edited 26/09/08 12:55 AM by Azzman460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 4m 12d Gender: Male Posted 26/09/08 01:06 AM Share Posted 26/09/08 01:06 AM I think it just remaps the std ecu to give a bit more power. With a zosrt he might be lucky to get 300kws total. Just another Expensive Daewoo driver full of sh*t. Even with his mods you would more than likely spank him with a stock T.

Ghosti NOT THERE!... THERE! Member 852 Member For: 16y 7m 23d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 26/09/08 01:19 AM Share Posted 26/09/08 01:19 AM I LOVE talking to mates of mates, especially over beers and listening to them dribble absolute sh*t about their cousin's fully sick Clubby that does an 10 second qtr. Then they come for a ride in my piddly 238kw T and they flip out and say "PHAWWW how much power has this thing got?!?!" NFI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
