Title: BIG TURBOS in japan......
Post by: jay on March 07, 2004, 05:52:32 PM
Been lookin thru the latest OPTION mag and there is a feature on street racing and there are a few Fd\'s in there. One of them actually won the comp OPTION set up and it was runnin a T51 and 650ps. Also a couple of T88 runiin 500 plus ps. Just wondered if anyone was runnin these over here?
 Also how do you equate ps to bhp?
 Cheers Jay...:wave

There are people already running the T51 over here, not sure if there are any running the T88, but I would think there are. ;)

here\'s the proper stats:

"The defininative calculation:

PS = 1.01387 * BHP

Therefore, PS is about 98.6% of bhp."

I think I looked at that magazine the other day.  T51R SPL BB and crossport (side and peripheral intake porting) 650ps.  So I guess that would be "only" 640bhp.

I thought PS always meant pounds per square inch.

Oh well :D

I took them off for rebuild and waiting on smaller exhaust housings.  My housings still haven\'t come in so I\'m back to the 67-1 for now.  I let a friend borrow one of the TO4S\'s for his SR20 and he grenaded it.  I have a line on a cheap TO4S but can\'t get it for a couple of months, so I may go with 60t to4e\'s because I have 2 sitting here.
