kslb Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 This is like another one that was advertised on here and pistonheads with claims of 501bhp but after the slating it got on here the owner said it was a mistake and was supposed to read 401bhp and it has now been ammended maybe this is a similar situation!

Holden1989 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 But even 420bhp is a push on twin turbos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I think many people will sell a car with overstated power, thinking that people will be impressed and not tell the difference on a test drive if they have nothing to compare it against or lack experience and just buy......

Steviekid Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 But even 420bhp is a push on twin turbos? 420 should be attainable on stock twins with the appropriate fueling. I'm sure someone on here got 500 on hybrids (with a huge amount of work and mapping). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoooby slayer Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 2 garrett gt2860 double ballbearing turbos have a flow rate of 700 bhp. so is possible with 2 bigger twin turbos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 The car in question is on stockers though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 420 should be attainable on stock twins with the appropriate fueling. should be (with UK twins as a starter), not many are though, most BPUs are 380ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I notice in the pics it doesnt give you a close up of the engine the figures are a load of sh!t! As said you wont get anywhere near that on stock tubs. You should ring him and ask where he got the bhp figure from. Thin air likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dublin Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Saw that last week and thought the same, it's nearly as bad as the guy looking for 10k for an n/a and looking for a quick sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Thin air likely if thin air then even less power, needs to be cold dense air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Shane_ Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 All depends on where he got it rolling roaded you know what im talking about claire. My supra one one rolling road is over 500bhp and then on a dyno dynamics is 400bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Thing is if you take someone down the road in a 400 hp car and tell em its 500 they will prob believe you, especially if they are not used to a powerfull car. I think a lot of owners just convince themselves it has X amount of HP and then in their mind it has. Or maybe they just have diff horses in ireland.

Minichick Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I know the car as its from my town and i've been in it so I can tell you its very very lively. Not sure what mods were done to it but your man selling it is a genuine guy who maybe in my opinion is just repeating what he was told when he bought it. To my knowledge he hasnt done anything to it since owning it bar service etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge he hasnt done anything to it since owning it bar service etc. fair enough if he was told that but he has to have a bit of proof to back it up in my opinion as things like that are hard to believe.

ClaireRZ-S Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 And does he not?? as in a dyno he said he was told that was the figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 But even 420bhp is a push on twin turbos? Naa if you go fully BPU it should see you nicely to around 420, anymore though and your probably going to need hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Although I'm sure this advert is total rubbish! over 500 has been done Although John's was/is a UK! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=768486&postcount=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
