so what does 400kw at the flywheel equate to . just curious thats all. Anyone already know the equation ?

do you mean at the wheels ?

[Guest]

Arround about 320kw at the wheels would be 400kw at the fly. Depends on alot of factors tho so an estimate

[Joker]

good guest-imation try the car calculator in General section

my car was 206kw (fly-wheel) from factory and 160kw on rolling road - calculator says exactly the same... (not a perfect calculation but gives general good idea

[Guest]

what are you budget? you looking at over $10k easy

there is an option of NOS, Cams, Meth injections, supercharger, twin t3/4 and a V8 engine... yeah... 400hp easy...

[kamineko]

curious, and don't get me wrong, its an honest question. where are you pulling this 400 figure from?

have you driven a 200kw atw car? a 300kw atw car? i'm sure most people don't comprehend it properly

if its just for bragging rights and the show scene, then i'm jealous of how much disposable income you have.

[GC8E2DD]

Yeah 300 wheel kilowatts must be pretty mental. The R can be a handful with just ~160ish =D

I'm getting close ( not to be a cock) and its fast.. Real fast. It takes some getting used to coz it can catch you out.

Come for a spin Sam.

I guess I agree with same and kamineko.. Know what different t levels feel like.before you decide how many hp you want...coz how can you decide?

[GC8E2DD]

Yeah, well we went for a pootle around the air port, but would need to take a ride out on the track to see what it was really like.

all those power make sure you have some good shoes and rotors to stop it

4 pot subaru wrx calipers pull up a 300kw wrx no problem on the street, no good after a few laps on semi slicks at the track tho.

If you are mechanically minded you can get a shit load of change from 12K, I have been suprised with amout of 400whp+ subarus in church iv seen in the last 6months, 2 BG's, 1 BH, 5 GC8's. 400whp isnt that bigger deal anymore.

I agree

For a street car, such numbers are strictly for the show or NZPC scene.

On a 2.0 it would not be a great daily driver. I would suspect a quicker spooling smaller turbo but lower headline power figure would be faster.

Could u make 400hp atw on the standard engine and a big turbo ?

std shortblock ej257 and 207 have made that sort of power. How long it lasts is up to how its used and tuned

[slystiguy]

400hp atw lol dreamer for a daily...

I'd start small, get an sti engine an turbo with a link some 4pot/brembos maybe a race radiator an intercooler. with a good tune you can get a usable hp on stock suspension as a daily... any more an your going to need some mega funds an time/know how and it won't be good as a daily...

ez30 turbo would be best way to go for big hp after seeing the youtube vids..

[Guest]

im sure that EJ257 will get 400hp with supporting mods... there are some people in the state with the LGT with larger turbo, injectors and reflash getting 500hp.. got some youtube video somewhere theres a LGT doing 10sec

EJ207 is pushing it...

[Enervated]

Okay yes, it's a bit extreme, And a lot more work than I thought.. But over recent weeks I think I've come to a conclusion.

Save up and buy an Evo 8

You could ask the MMC forum the same question about 400kw atw. That could be interesting too.

I think that is a very wise Idea Make some easy HP.

[Enervated]

Yes a sexy black evo 8 I found one on trademe. except it's a bit out of my price just right now. Hopefully they come down in price next year.

as Al said...have you driven a well tuned 200kw atw car?

They are brutal for street. There prob wont be that much difference in useability between 200kw and 300kw atw..........on the street.

Either is more than sufficient for any regular road going task!

[Enervated]

My current Legacy B4 is 206kw atw ?

[funkytown]

nope - its about 170kw atw. 206kw is at the flywheel.

QFT - i only run mine on low boost or.. exactly 200atw on the street... you actually cant even really use that in anywhere 50km/h tbh.. 1st gear to the redline is about 60km for most and wont even give 100% loading on the engine.

[Joker]

exactly all modified cars are pointless and we should all drive Prius's

and thats how the fight started!!!

whos a s*** stirrer? I AM [/]

[pedro]

Have you seen that figure on a dyno ?

[Koom]

 Enervated said:

From a dyno run? or are you quoting the factory figure of 206kw @crank?

[aim]

most stock legacies I've seen on a dyno are around the 165kw atw. doesn't meant everyone's is though.
