There's a united not far from me, I can go there then

 

Yeah I've got the smaller FG turbo so would need to upgrade it to get into mid 300's .

How do you feel about Turbo Lag on a bigger turbo? Or is it possible to get a small turbo with better performance? I figure that's probably not an option since the Garret turbo is already a pretty good product

If you are in Bankstown, youve got the 2 United servos in Yagoona. Easy as!

Wheelspin is my measure. I've got a trutrack, bilsteins, and 275 semi slicks on the back.

370rwkw 98 is tame

400rwkw e85 = second gear wheelspin coming on boost. Plenty fun on the street

450rwkw e85 = third gear wheelspin coming on boost. More fun on the street

Will hopefully let you know how 500 and 600rwkw go in a few months

500rwkw on street is heaps..... I never use that tune unless going to a comp or roll race  etc,, 400rwkw on street is heaps it's got more then enough to roll with a lot of exotics etc and getting that to hook up of the line/low speed is hard enough..... I've been reading your posts and I think your not really sure what you want ( no offence intended) my advice do the following 

* intercooler 

* fuel system 

* high flow cat 4 inch dump 

tune for 98/E85 this will max out the stock turbo and this should be enough for you if it isn't then go back and chuck a Gtx turbo on it and take it up to 400kw 98 high 400s E85 

At that level youl need a ZF built and driveline will need uprgrading so money invested there climbs big time.

 

when I had 320 rwkw- zippy you go oh wow fast car but get over it very quickly 

 

400rwkw- this car is faaast I'm deffs not sick of it after a few years 

 

520rwkw-- f***ck me, but this tune you can hardly use on the road unless

u don't care about you licence/ jail/ killing yourself or someone else... stomp it for a few seconds and your already doing something very illegal haha

At 400awkw I was definitely wanting more to get the feeling of a fast car (turbo territory). I was happy with 475awkw on 98 for daily driving, it was fast enough but not too fast and was just on the edge of grip in second gear. Any more than that and it would wheelspin in second gear up to the freeway limit. After this power level E85 is needed for my setup.

 

500awkw was much the same, except it would always spin the tyres coming onto boost in second gear. If you want to do 3rd gear pulls then I feel like you could use some more power.

 

600awkw is also pretty fast and is next level to 500 in how fast it feels. Once again it blows the tyres off up to the speed limit and a lot more severely, but still hooks up enough to get to the speed limit very fast. Pulls like a train in all gears.

 

700awkw is next level again and really is only good for over 110kph to get the proper feeling of it. It smashes tyres under 100kph and for that reason isn't really any faster to the speed limit than say 500awkw. It would also spin the tyres in third gear most of the time, just rolling onto it. 4th gear pulls just as hard as 2nd gear with 410awkw.

 

But yeah, I'm a bit over the top probably and I think most people would be well happy with 500 wheel kw in nearly any car.

Puff your cars a beast bro!! Love what you've done with it, but as you know you can't really compare your car with most of us bcoz you've got awd the way your car picks up and goes at say 500 is very different to a rear drive car.. with a rear drive falcon I honestly think a good well sorted 500-550car will smack a 600-650 car with a larger frame turbo on the street (awd is a diff story)

Eh old mate asked how fast you describe your car, how much power does it have and how does it feel so yerp. I've also got a BFmk2 turbo that was on E5 for a bit so I have an idea what a rwd car is like too. Imo 500 is more than enough for a rwd car on the street and really 500 is enough for an awd car too. After that power level they are too hectic to let loose properly.
