"Look at this car with a huge motor in it! This clearly means that everybody in Australia drives cars like this all day long!"
Cool story bro. |
yeah most of those cars are road registered I can buy a HSV R8 with 425hp stock for under 30k. my next door neighbour has one as their family car and so does another family 2 doors down

Cool story bro. I can post videos of powerful American cars just like you can post videos of powerful Australian cars.

For 400 hp it's easier and probably cheaper to do a LS engine swap.
|
Dammit Fooger why'd you pick one that's actually an Australian car? :vash:
|
Oh god another Australian car discussion BS. Just lock this bitch asap.

Do you really need the damper and billet oil gears if its not a pure track car?
I have been running ~300rwhp for 2 years now on new stock bearings and forged rods/pistons (supertech/m-tuned). Use the car almost everyday and run ~7-8 track days and 2-3 drifting events every year. No problems with the engi so far. Biggest problem for me has been gearboxes. Also.. what do you need 400rwhp to? my car is at ~300rwhp and do rolling burnouts in 3-4 gear.... |

Parts like throttle bodies, dampers, and oil pumps aren't required to make the power, but if reliability is important, they should be on the parts list. |

On a 2560, right?
Also OP is right when he says that every third family car is a cammed LS1, its a joke, 6L V8's are in every second grocery getter here.. Honestly, that video is not a huge exaggeration. Here we have powercruise and summernats etc, events when people show up in daily driven big block 70s utes and do powerskids, where you do a burnout with no brakes and try to make it a kilometre. A fucking kilometre. I know america is the v8 motherland but here every man and his dog runs his kids to the school in a 400hp sedan. Like, On my street my closest neightbours go LS7 commodore-cams intake exhaust tune etc/5.0L commodore worked also. WRX 323 Hilux XR6 turbo (500whp) LS1 commodore Corolla Mazda tribute/LS1 commodore xr6 ute. It goes on. HOWEVER, I still agree with all of the yanks in this thread, My first guess is that OP hasnt been in a turbo MX5, come to newcastle Ill take you in a few, bring your mates HSV's, I dont mind making a bit of easy cash.

Re: damper in a high-hp non-track car.
Didn't Soviet throw his OEM damper after 1 dyno run @ 318whp? That should make the answer obvious. |

I dont get it, why are we always having some AU vs USA discussions when we're driving gay japanese cars with 200 hp?
