Modify to an RSR and you'll be good for another 20bhp+ without too much sacrifice \:\)

depends on how freeflowing it is. The more restrictive it is the worse for top end, but may improve the bottom end a bit...

BTW my opinion is an RSR is much better than an RS ;\)

I was considering an RS, what makes the RSR much better?

Better spool up.

If you are into that kind of thing, which i get the impression Ross is \:\)

I would rather get the torque surge as low down the rev range as possible, but I dont mind if it takes a second to spool up when you suddenly floor it, if that makes sense...

much more responsive, much less on/off. I don't like the RS at all though and having driven cars with both I would always go RSR. I think you would go faster point-to-point 95% of times with an RSR, the only time you wouldn't is in a straight line ;\)

I find my RS is very progressive, by the time you hit peak power traction issues have dissapeared.

The RS is good for slow in fast out on track as well, much less frantic wheelspinning exits \:\)

Drove Barbz car with an RS and a one of his customers cars when I was down there. Also driven both the GT28RSR and the GT28R on headwork. The headwork does make the RS less on/off but I think it is a very poor match for the engine. The whole idea of getting a upgraded turbois to match the engines characteristics and I believe the RS would also suit a longer stroke engine better (like the 16VT) than the 20VT engine.

i think the only way to get an RSR now, is to speak to turbo dynamics or to buy and "R" and then get an "RS" compressor wheel fitted by turbo dynamics or speak to me about the one im selling soon \:\)

Yeah very good. I drove Sheikhs car which was 344BHP at relatively low boost as far as I rememeber.

I think Barbz will still sell you an RSR - email him at torqueitalia@yahoo.co.uk

Ross.....you are losing it. ;\)

You have a great car, with plenty of power...why not save that cash and buy a track day toy instead?

(my votes with an RSR if you must) \:\)


313bhp...GT28R, Pro-Alloy FMIC & SIP, Perfect touch Live Map, Powerfiat Exhaust, Eibach springs.
