Who's got the most power...?

294bhp and 300ftlb with a slipping clutch :p 1.6bar td04/05 16g and still 1300. but its not very usuable so dont see why youd want more power in a fwd as you cant get the power down

This was the type of crap I was talking about...

harry, dantheman, has a 300hp starlet, and has handling mods aswell, so i dont think he is talking poop at all.


in hyper revs magazine, there was some 400hp starlets, and some between 300 and 350, these ones were for drag use only, and they didnt use the 4e, they used the 5e to get this power.

the starlets that they used for tracks, all had between 190-250ish.

as the magazine is all in japanese its hard to make it out, but you can get little bits out of it, as the main bits are in english.


anyway back on topic, as has been mentioned there is already a power board

LMFAO boys really who cares who has the higher BHP reading??

Surely it all comes down to how you use the car???

I have always thought that running huge power though such a little car is a bit of madness but having seen it what Sliversurfers old starlet can do I can see the appeal of pushing for more.

His car was extremely useable on both the road and track so I don’t see why people are saying that running 300bhp is silly. As long as the car is set up for it then what’s the problem!!

I am sure that as this year goes on and definitely coming up next year we will start to see a lot more bigger power starlets and fair play to the people that have them.

I wish I had the time, money and knowledge to be able to have a high power starbo but I don’t ever see it happening.. So I will make do with what I have and hopefully someone like Gee or Sliver Surfer will take me for a spin in there’s

yep was my daily runner aswell :p done me proud. but yeah too many people go on about bhp when torque is just as important if not more, but like i say why have so much power in a fwd car that weighs less than a box of matches?? even with a decent lsd your still ganna be spinning up, mine doesnt get traction at all in 1st or 2nd, 3rd spins for abit but then grips and goes. when the car was 210bhp it was alot more usable power. it still brings a smile to my face when i drive the old girl though, really is a fun car to drive :)

He said, you couldnt use anymore power than that which is poop. ;) Especially on the street. Street is actually easier to get traction on rather than a circuit over here.

Seeing as though most of you guys are from england or surrounds and every car video ive seen in the area, its been raining, he may have a point.

Personally the throttle goes both ways.
I dont see why people would have there foot to the floor all the time, on the open road?

For me, Track = Burried, Street = Somewhere in between.

My starlet has the highest HP posted so far, here is my dyno sheet, i drive it to work every day, it runs 15psi on low boost and 40psi on high, i have never taken it to the drags as im worried the stock box wont hold, i comes on boost at 3000rmp and revs to 9000 rpm,

with a figure like that mate your going to need to post every tiny little bit of detail/spec of your engine etc as anyone can just post up a graph saying 457BHP....

Put your spec up and all will be good, until then i deem this as void.

sorry...

PS.... Also why does it say BONE STOCK on your graph?? the power curve looks way too smooth and gradual for a little starlet using that size turbo to produce that sort of power etc...... and would also like to see the revs on the graph at the bottom.....

cheers
