Extreme Performance Car Magazine...
This Green BCNR33 is "rumored" to have a whopping 800bhp! So what is he running under the hood?!
GT-SS turbines, a ported and polish head and stock bottom end?
I smell bullshit...
I mean really?! REALLY?!
If you all had seen the turbo charts I put up in a post recently, (Chart of GT-R Turbos) you would understand that the HKS GT-SS turbo's are not capable of flowing 800bhp, not even on C14 Fuel, Nitrous Oxide and what not. SO, where did those figures come from, the writers ass? It's amazing where people find figures from these days.
Here's a closer look at what was the published specifications and modifications of this BCNR33...
Not long ago, Razlan (or some of you know him as [PIMPIN] on ZeroToHundred.com Forums) was talking about how shit the quality of the tuning magazines we have in Malaysia these days. I completely agreed with him, and this just reinforced our thoughts.

LOL. 800HP and with stock interior? I really cant believe it.
1 turbine can produce 300+hp, so 2 turbines = 700+hp which close to 800+hp. so i think this is how he calculate. or he got the dyno graph to show us?
uh uh.. so our 2.8L with twin GT-RS should give us about 1000+bhp? LMAO
problem with the big power figures being bandied around in some local magazines are due to some writers being:
1. inexperienced and dunno much about cars
2. fresh-out-of-writing/comms school
3. want to sell magazines so published outlandish claims
4. didnt bother to verify claims
5. plain stupid.
you try going to HPI or Banzai magazine with these specs and the claimed horsepower figure... u see how the editors will blow it out of the water... :)

That set-up should see a comfortable 600+ Wheel HP and a comfortable torque output. However, Russ's former car's numbers I heard from ST Wangan are not what I expected...
charcoalx,
My sentiments exactly... =)
leo: we really don't know how many horses were there.. but i guess razlan can tell us his since his set up is quite similar with russ's.. er... right? :p
Leo,
That's complete bullcrap :)
I think it happens alot in magazine. Car looks good, engine bay looks sexy, interior is clean..OK...let's add numbers to ponies.
If there is no dyno chart.....then i won't believe it. I seen someone in a mag claiming he has 500hp atws for forced induction d16y... i was like..wtf? u serious? where's the dyno chart?
:: Nicole ::,
Don't have to ask Razlan for numbers. We can always head down to ST Wangan and ask for a print out of your dyno sheet. =)
nicwan8,
I know! I am just in awe with the kind of crap that gets published over here. *laughs*
