i dont have a thing against p/w ratio at all.

Just in his car being FWD and harder to get traction it would need to be a fair bit higher to beat a rwd or awd car of the same ratio is all i was saying.

I just know how it is to have a FWD car with some decent amount of power and the troubles with traction it brings.

+1... dont forget being an auto, there will be more losses between engine power and the ability to transfer it to the road. So a 40kw defecit to begin with, will mean that realistically, you will need at least 80kw to have any chance against a supra. The 2.2ltr engine mated with an auto will prob only get 80-90kw atw on a dyno (stock). Adding a s/c might get you to around 120kw, which is what a slightly modded veccy v6 will get you... which will in no way beat a supra

unless you go the full hog and cut no corners, then IMO the project is a waste of time. But then again, its your car and you have to be happy with it..

what stock boost are the Z20LET, Z20LER set to?

thinks its somewhere around 8-10psi

kk, thanks gav, is that what the stock controller is set to?
or just all they can manage

[nuggz]

a charged v6 will only put out 150ish at the wheels
still no match for a tuned 1j or 2j

Set to 7psi apparently. Sounds about right.

EDIT: Woah, apparently didn't notice there was a 3rd page of this thread. How late am I..

lol forget that idea everyone, i know that a lil unrealistic.

im thinkin seriously bout running .5 bar through a small turbo, that hopefully will spool up to 6/7/8 psi @ around 2500 rpm.

with everything stock bar the exhaust man, turb, downpipe, FPR, small fmic, piping,

+ modified water lines
+ oil lines tapped into sump & .......

looking at manias car yesterday, i think it is very doable, they are so similar.

btw if you have 1.5 bar, as opposed to 1 bar, will you MAF chuck up a warning?

that said 12.3 psi?
sorry for the noob q) do the astras have a adjustable boost controller as standard attached to the turbo?

nope

Argh sorry, was looking at the SR20DET.. 12.3 psi sounds a lot more likely, seeing as Phase 1 without exhaust is about 13.2psi and adds about 8% peak power. Too early in the morning Shay...
