BTW Preston, didn't Kawa's uncle get crazy power out of a 4E?
I reckon around 200kw is massive power out of a 4E while still maintaining reliability if it's built right. I think Dwayne's GT (BOOOST) had around that much way back when. Not keen on a 5E at all?


From memory Kawa said he got about 270 something kw before the engine crapped itself but even he admitted the turbo was way too big and extremely laggy and thats why he has downgraded to a smaller, better suited turbo for his needs. Dwaynes had 205kw I think but I was told that it was with nos on something like 28psi boost (that's what I heard, don't know if its true or not)

Daily driven... Hmm...

Brain says "Something cheap so a pushbike or scooter"
Guts says "You pussy! Sure they are cheap, but where is the fun?"
Brain "Having money for the weekend isnt fun?"
Guts "@$%# that shit! I want fun NOW!"
Brain "Whats fun for you?"
Guts "Large engine, supercharger out the bonnet and loud exhaust telling every other wimpmobeal to get the @%$# out of my way or I will eat you!
Brain "So owning something that is abusive to others hearing, obnoxious in looks and horribly inefficent is fun?"
Guts "NO! Owning a car that will not just crush anyone who dare challenge you on the road, but publicly humilliates them too."
Brain "Cant do that, its called racing and penalty for that is crushed car."
Guts "All the more reason to have it, the law has to catch me first"
Brain "Rebel. Im not speending money on building that just to satisfy your thirst for rebellion agains the law and conformaty to the ways of society. Or your thirst to control a machine that could power a city block let alone just you around the city streets..."
Guts "And with today the only time you feel in control of anything is in the drivers seat of a car. Society has created laws to take away your control of freedom of choice, the car is the only place left to express your freedom of choice. To do what you wish, how you wish, when you wish."
Brain "......"
Guts "Exactly. Brain, figure out a way to make it happen so WE can enjoy the privilage of owning and driving what WE want to drive and not what society wants us to drive"

Seriously tho, Carrol Shelby said it best when he built the Shelby Cobra 427. 425hp of 7 litres of V8 in a car smaller and lighter than a Levin. 2 of them were made turbocharged making close to 800hp.

"Too much is only just enough"

To this day, the Shelby Cobra is the most replicated body in the world.
Ever.

Remember the torque curve looks quite abrupt because the torque plot doesn't start at 0, and its a big cam engine which the dyno run for was started at really low rpm - the dyno plot shape should give a better idea of the relative torque change throughout the rpm range, power being a factor of torque and rpm etc.
