Peak torque at 7k rpm? Baller

527 hp and 386 ft-lbs.

holy shit. Spools so late though.

Until 4000 rpm it's like driving a normal Miata and then it turns into a jet car.

How many pounds of boost?

Crazy lol

nice s2000

Pretty sure that's what Fae's powerband was. Except out of a shittier motor.

Nothing until 7k, ALLOFIT, Shift.

Hmm, aren't those NB taillights?

Reverant doesn't live in the USA, there were 1.6 NB everywhere else.

Isn't that 386 HP at 5250 rpm?

Holy exhaust flames.

:likecat:

29psi. We could go as high as 35psi, but we got the power/torque we wanted anyway at 29.

Wow, crazy. Have you got a build thread on the car? I would love to see how you are going to handle the drivetrain at that power.

RX-7 FD gearbox, Supra Mk3 diff, custom axles. Seems to be holding up so far.

Now imagine the same on a 1.8L...


don't jelly.

More torque, less revs, but cool story bro. :)

did you just play the rev card?

I don't think so. Peak torque doesn't occur until well after 5250 rpm, so the tq and hp cross over will be whatever it is at 5250. Peak tq hits at 6762 rpm (386 ftlbs) but at 5250 it looks more like 260ish Nm (~190 ftlbs) and Cv is at 190-200 (~190 hp).
