Dr. Pomade Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 The title bar on top of the video said "2000 HP GTR" AM I the only one who sees that? Yes, I saw it. It says 2000HP, not 2000whp. The key is the "w." 2000HP (i.e., what it's making at the crank, I presume) translates into 1760whp (i.e., the amount of power it's putting to the wheels). Jones and Juiced are being a bit elitist by smugly laughing at everyone who failed to pick up on that. Personally, I think it's a bit misleading, as I think the inclination is to think 2000whp when you see something titled "2000HP." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 would that show a higher reading? lower drivertrain loss? Based on dynoing a Lambo in both AWD and RWD I'd expect it to read 3-5% higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did no such smug laughing, I agreed that the assertion that my thread title was inaccurate. I also prefer use of whp, though agree the standard to non-car people is crank... Since that is what industry uses for automobile posted number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheelSpin Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 "FYI, we dyno in RWD for safety reasons, and it doesn't affect the power output whatsoever vs when we had both rollers running." Quoted from neil switzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohioko4s4 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I think his is white No, it's mine - painted the same spectra blue micra as my Supra. I drove it for a bit last week, actually surprised at how well it responds below 7k - I'd say more in line with a stock BRZ from a 5-40 mph roll. It's perfectly 'streetable' in virtually every sense as it was built to run Underground 2R cars and dig race anyone else. Turbos will make a couple hundred more hp - not sure if that 3.8L motor can handle it - but we'll find out in a few weeks when I'm back in town. As for the "2000 hp" title, agree, a bit misleading, but I guess potentially rounding up to a bhp number had a nice ring to it for the marketing guy. Happy to bring it down next month if anyone wants a dig or roll race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Happy to bring it down next month if anyone wants a dig or roll race. If you bring it down here you'll want to install some clear bra to save the paint from all the drool that'll be dripping on it. Quite impressive :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 So what you're saying is that if you did a RWD conversion you'd not only make 2000whp but also claim preemptive victories over the UGR armada? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 PS - good luck with the build, hope it all goes as planned, and I have no doubt it will produce results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just call it a 'stock appearing' GTR. As for turbo size, enough to make near 2000whp on kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a democrat for the first time, and I think you should have to redistribute the wealth, namely to me. You can start by giving me one of your cars.
