Interesting - I've asked him what has been done to the engine to enable it to run with 40% more power.

[Ricwin]

That seams like alot of power to be putting through the front wheels.
If its even true.

[talkingcars]

My mate was running over 350 through the front with his T16 mental maestro and there was another that was upto 700bhp before he put the engine in a ZR, that had a turbo the size of a small jet engine.

Mental was a rare beast indeed!

Think the chap needs to edit his ad though... 1.8?!

[welshone]

He's added on the bottom it's a 2.0 turbo.

[petet16]

I'm calling bs, mainly because 0.8 bar doesn't make 300bhp.

[petet16]

oh, and he's running on mems, you wont make 300 without standalone management

[zsserbia]

His mud flaps could be a bit shorter.

His mud flaps could be a bit shorter.

:laugh: that puts things into perspective!

Daydreamer, i hate cars like this lol
300bhp at 0.8.... Sure lol

[sneekyparrot]

Ummm .8 possible but would need to be around the gt3071r size.

Don't know much about the t16 so can't comment on the ecu, loads of the vag guys run stock ecu's with over 300 but they seem quite good boxes to start with!

300 thru the front wheels is more than do able but needs a decent diff / suspension and tyres!

[Witnes$]

Supposedly a 200zx turbo. What's that a T28? The best bit is wanting offers around £2500.00!

Was tempted but reading between the lines he doesn't know that much about the car.

[sneekyparrot]

I would want Dyno sheets and to speak to the person who built it!
No mention of a LSD / atb
No mention of better brakes
No mention of bushes etc

Don't doubt it's got more power than stock but 300 de tuned seems like pub talk to me, more like 240/250ish I would say.
Still quick thou compared to a stock 180 😀

[petet16]

Yeah, T28, at 0.8 bar it might make over 200, but will max at 240/250 at somewhere north of 12psi

[talkingcars]

The standard internals and ECU will struggle to get up to 250 for any length of time.

To reach 350 you are talking serious money for forged internals and bored out capacity, massive turbo and engine managment and that will be costing several £k.

[Witnes$]

I would want Dyno

I asked but the seller mentioned trying to get it off the previous owner...............

I'm very wary but it could be a nice project.

Yeah, that was my mate Victors car, sadly it is now back to being a 2.0 EFi as after 18 years he got bored of it.

Back up for sale, went 500>1800>500>1800 not sure what it finished for.

[petet16]

"apparently" sold for £1800, shill bid most likely.

[MickUK]

It's back on again!
