I am running 6psi with no other mods and 270bhp Z is the way forward Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 270 bhp is pretty damn good Ben. I hope I get somewhere near that when mine is back together. Once Tony & Craggsy have finished playing with balls it looks as though we could have a VR6OC Charge off/ Boost off in the making.... Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Once Tony & Craggsy have finished playing with balls they never stop !!! ;)yeah spoke to Vince the other day and once all my new toys are on it's going back up to be mapped again and he reckons it should be over 300 which I will be well chuffed with :) Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 300 has to be the bench mark really dont it. Should ring Storm tomorrow really whilst I have the cash Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 yeah will be happy with around 300-315 which Vince reckons is within reach and then can up the psi to around 9 if I need more :)personally and I know Jim and Jake and several others run more with few probs but I think around 300bhp in a vr6 is plenty without pushing things too far :) Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 have to agree there ben think 300 is the magic number for the v6 before it gets to hot to handle and have to start thinkin about lsd`s etc etc Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Had meself spinning in 2nd with all this rain......looked good tho flinging water backwards Link to post Share on other sites

jims13 6 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 yep i ave around 400 - 440 bhp a the mo.. and its the limit of sensible.. still thats only at 1 bar or 14.7 psi, so ive got scope for more, just not sure my pants can take it traction becomes a problem on anything over 300 bhp imho. around 300 is fine for a eveyday sensible car.as for the turbo v charger, well it could run and run, you need to decided what goals you have and work from there Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Its the choice between rotrex and turbo. just need to look into cost etc. looking to run around 300bhp but with good torque so thats why i keep thinking turbo. I could go more as the car will not be my daily by the end of the year. Link to post Share on other sites
