how much power max can a GDB sti motor handle

[Guest]

hey guys im just wondering if anyone could tell me how much power (kw) max a gdb motor can handle

heard many stories , still unknown , can anyone help me out ?

[Koom]

Only 231kw then they hit critical mass and self implode. Its quite spectacular to watch, motor basically crumples in on itself into a small aluminium ball.

its quite amazing to watch.. if its not your own motor that is

Look up Theseus' Boat.

[Guest keltik]

More like 600. Those GDB's have a massive drivetrain loss due to the power take off to run the flux capacitor

Nos ones knows hows muchs powers yous motors cans makes. Could bes 275skws befores its blows ups?

maybes onlys 250skws. whos knows?

[Guest Fastfour]

Unless you put in a vortex displacement valve then I wouldnt run more than 225kw atw - you will risk melting pistons with anything higher than that.

Let me know if you want one and will post up a link

Thats like asking how long is a piece of string..

Depends on its past history, setup, tune, how its been lookedafter..

theres no "xxxkw" figure that itl crap out at..

i had 232kw on my gdb motor and it shat itself in a big way..

Others have run that figure with no problem...

You dont know how much it can handle till its to late nad its blown up hahah

Thats because you didnt run a vortex displacement valve like I do

800BHP now I IS JOKERING!

Kevin,

Stop being an idiot. Your car as it is currently is way more than what you will be able to handle. Just get out onto the track and stop posting stupid topic after topic.

[funkytown]

would have to say it... jase is right..

"Your car as it is currently is way more than what you will be able to handle."

get some gripy track tyres and go and USE the car.

how much better does the newer 2.5L out perform the 2.0L in handling power on stock internals?

Its weaker than the 2.0... Pistons are worse for sure - v common for ringland failure

[Joker]

max hp = associated upgrades = ∞ BHP (WOW thats heaps!)

really? shot subaru. interesting.

Google ~ sti ringland failure

5470 results lol

i had a 1956 subaru back in my day, the engine was made from new alloy technology and german engineering.. the turbo was the size of a dinner plate and it would tow logs out of the kumeu forest like a hooker serving extras in a thailand strip joint, after we wound the exhaust boost up to 45 psi and the intake boost upto 300 psi it was pushing around 500 kw at the fly wheel.. we had to put sacks of sand in the boot as the bugger would launch 20 feet in the air if we tried to drag off the log skidder.. i found the seats very uncomfortable at that sort of power as it would vibrate so much and cause jarring in the hips..

as mentioned earlier by someone else the flux capacitor had to be realigned every 3 weeks due to excessive use and various technology upgrades.. i dont recommed driving faster than 260 kph in a circle tho as you may find your lunch ends up on your windscreen which can make it hard to see the boost guage on the bonnet

good luck

fuck I love these threads.

[Pappu1]

depending on tune and condition of engine

on the street u may be able to get away with 260kw

but on the track perhaps 230

You and spec C should get together, then you'd be able to convince each other that this thread is the truth.
