Removed Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'd love to be able to drop my car off with a bootful of cash and comeback to a 500+ bhp beast and it be 100% reliable A simple (and unrealistic) request I know but thats the only real way I would bother going FI you said it mate... unrealistic unfortunately Unless you get a 500bhp car that has got those power levels from factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 It's just under 17.5 psi which is 1.2 bar Wow, 2 bar should be 900 bhp++.... Do it, do it..... Boost controller, 1.2 to 2 bar?..... you are going to need an APS Extreme kit (or something with a bigger set of turbos anyway) for that kind of powers (that's what they run on the 4.2L stroked APS TT EXtreme on NitrouZ's car in the US and they push iro 850bhp, don't know which levels of boost though. The ownesr drives it allegedly every day though, so it can't be too extreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiercedonkey Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Yes but it's the torque that is so phenominal with this settup and what ultimately is the true measure of in gear acceleration. Check this comparison out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev946 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Yes but it's the torque that is so phenominal with this settup and what ultimately is the true measure of in gear acceleration. Check this comparison out! With respect, that's the power/torque at the wheels and not necessarily what's transferred onto the road. Some these cars you are comparing to have 4 wheel drive and all were design to handle much more power and torque, so real world performance is about traction and handling. So in summary in the real world I think a Veyron and many others on your list will be quicker. You should see a big power RWD Cossie doing a standing quarter. All wheel spin and smoke.....

Removed Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 very true unfortunately it's all about putting the power down and the Z will struggle cool info for bragging rights though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point taken - this was merely to demonstrate the torque delivered from FI application. Of course most of the cars on that list have significant engineering behind them, but look at the price tag. Having said that once you get to the higher gears where the torque is multipled down by the transmission and WOT on-boost is manageable then I think you will see it surprise a few big name cars. Certainly application of power is tricky. Have driven it in the dry for first time today and on full boost will break loose on the straight in everything up to 4th!!! 4th/5th are probably the most exciting gears - will just about stick with care and the pull is frankly somewhat mental BTW - Would love to see the Cossie sometime, another animal altogether I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a hard call as the Cossie as a weight advantage but nowhere near the torque and a very peaky power and torque curve. I'm hoping to do a track day at Donington in July ish.

limiter Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 man that sounds like a sweet ride and rapid as u no what ! just picked up my z saturday thinking of getting the aps turbo kit as well but need to get used to the car first. thinkin of exhaust aps plenium and brace. what does there exhuast system sound like ?
