Does your car feel like it has 200bhp?

[martyngt]

Hello All, I have recently tweeked the timing on my red top to the proper settings and it made a hell of a difference, but I still think for 200hp +/- my car feels slow or more like 150 bhp. Am I the only one? I have had two s14a's and although that was a couple of years ago they seemed as though they were about 200 or so horses.

I just wanted to get a bit of feedback, am I the only one, or does the power delivery seem really linear?

I hopefully be getting my car on the rollers soon to get an accurate hp figure.

What Im getting at is should I be looking somewhere else if i feel my car is not producing the full whack.
It is running 0.6 Bar in all gears.

On a t25g yea

On a t28 0.6 bar.

Why is that then? Boost controller fitted or is it a standard car? Is there anythign wrong with the actuator?

Get is boosting to 14/15 PSI (1 Bar) and youll notice the difference for sure.

Presuming it's an SR20 180SX, then What happened to the bleed solenoid for the turbo actuator? - there would've been one there originally to up the boost in higher gears, but was it junked when the turbo was changed?
Also, if it's still there but someone's put a speedo converter unit in there to make kph look like mph then the ECU will be getting the wrong speed and maybe holding the solenoid closed for longer.

standard they arent great at all imo but with a couple. With a couple of tweaks / parts turns them into different cars
