I think this is just paddock bashing...not a true organised rally.

Also because the vaporisation of the nitromethane (methanol too) is a very endothermic process they're able to run the superchargers past their normal efficiency range. Try and run one of those superchargers at 50+psi on a petrol engine....good luck! There seems to be this misconception that turbos make power completely unpredictably. The thing people forget is that they're not a switch. Its not 0-12psi in zero seconds. Its a progressive buildup tending towards exponential as the boost pressure increases (to a point). Its quite possible to drive a turbo around on partial throttle and only a few PSI boost. Even sinking the boot in from low RPM doesn't result in a massive unexpected spike in power (and my dyno graph goes very close to vertical). If you've driven the car for more than a few minutes you'll know exactly what the turbos going to do and when (conditions apply!).

LOL I just had a scary realisation that my silvia makes more power in less than one cylinder than my K does across 4.... :poke: and I haven't even got the new turbo on yet... Thanks for tonights entertainment pplz...nighty night!

Mate I tell ya what Ive got a 4.1 diff in the KE70 now so I think she might just be pulling away from the silvia through the deep!!

So why don't people put Rolls-Royce Griffon's in corollas then? That'd be cool and different! Oh thats right, because its a bad idea!! Honestly if he had a good reason to do an upright I'm all for it, otherwise find yourself a 4A-C someones throwing out and put that in. Shazam instant upright, no need for custom bits and its almost as crappy as a K!!

Yea you wanna know the difference between them and this guy? THEY WERE TRUE INNOVATORS!! AND...THEY USE THEIR OWN BRAIN rather than a collective forum brain. This guys just copying every other uprighted K. Custom means something made to individual specifications. Copying someone elses design is not custom nor innovative...

RE55S are a proper semi slick and are NOISY AS FK! Sound like tractor tyres due to the massive tread blocks. They're also direction and left/right so you can only rotate them front to back not side to side which makes managing tyre wear difficult. I decided against using them for that reason alone.

Just to clarify a turbo doesn't actually recirculate exhaust gases back into the cylinders. Perhaps a better wording is that it extracts the waste energy from the exhaust gases and recirculates that energy.

MMkay I'll just sit back and laugh then. I think most mature K motor owners are ready to admit that they aren't exactly an engineering masterpiece.

They're off a Nissan Tiiiiiiida

You realise with the amount of dicking around you're doing for something "custom" (read: copy what everyone else has done) you could quite easily put a 4A-GE in....or even an SR20DET and have far more than double the power output of the pathetic K motor. The only reason you'd do so much work to upright them and make that little bit more power is if you had no other option due to class rules. Save yourself the headache and just do an engine conversion. I'm not even going to start picking holes in your plans....just too many.

Umm.....little more info?

Ctrl+F5. Is fixed now.

Stretching tyres is the stupidest thing ever. They design tyres for specific rim sizes (maximums and minimums) and putting them on anything outside the manufacturers recommendations is downright dangerous. On a 9 inch rim you should be running 235s minimum.

Sounds like you've clicked a google link to rollaclub which has changed your default view from Standard to probably Outline. The layout of the topics hasn't been changed by the skin at all... just jazzed up. All you have to do to change it back is, in the top bar of a topic theres a box called "Options". If you click on that and then click "Standard" it will go back the way it was.

yea yea enough victimising people

Yep agreed I'll look at changing it today.

Glad you like it :D

Each to their own. Those are pretty typical silvia offsets. Should sit alright on the rear but you might need spacers on the front. Dodgy toyota strut setup!

At the risk of having to eat my own words: Because its going to be an utter f@$king failure

No, you cannot interchange parts between Borg Warner and Jap (banjo) diffs. You can however put a KP starlet center in a Jap corolla diff.

Sounds like you need a swift kickbox to the head. From what I understand he was booed at when he came on stage at that live arena thing. Considering one of bbs demographic is teenage girls somehow I don't think he gets any pussy... maybe from the ugliest of whores?

I hope this is the last BB thread anyone posts....

Archerfield FTW. Two strokes or nothing! I've tried nearly every kart track in SE QLD and theirs are the fastest by far.
