Greg111 13 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) 320guy, you find me a faster car for the $5-7k that VR-4's tend to sell for, which was the point of my post, the original thread creator wants to go fast for not much money, VR-4's are excellent value and anything that has that much power, weighs 1550kg, and has the same 4wd setup as an EVO 4/5/6, complete with AYC is not going to be slow, either in a straight line or around corners. Ohh btw, here is mine http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/uploaded/786/1204159657.jpg It makes 228kw at the wheels, gets up to 230kmh at Pukekohe, has climate control, 5 seats and room in the back. I couldn't ask for anymore in a car E30-323ti, I didn't really expect a positive reaction, as I said though I was merely offering one as a solution to the whole idea of going fast cheaply. Ohh and the other way around...fact of the matter is that everyone on clubvr4 is insanely jealous of my 850CSi F**k knows how you managed to get that much KW out of one of those? Must be pretty heavily modified! Edited January 16, 2009 by Greg. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingkarl 136 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 For the record, 228kw isn't 400 hp. Its closer to 300. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JiB 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 For the record, 228kw isn't 400 hp. Its closer to 300. if you read his post it is 228kw atw. Assuming 25% drivetrain loss = 400hp @ the crank? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30plz 1 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 Hey all, just wondering what you all would suggest. Turbo or V8 in a e30 318i? And what would be cheaper? Cheers, Danny. The point of my post, the original thread creator wants to go fast for not much money.Fast in his E30..Did you even read the first post? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradc 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 Stock power was 154kw atw (rated at 206kw at engine) so a big increase. It has a full ecu, piping, etc etc. It probably has about 385-390hp, but meh, I like to round up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
