Like she SRL's LNF.

It is comepltly voluntary though, automakers can choose to do it or not.

Oh okay, just making sure. Sounded like you were saying they were trying to enfore it on everyone.

thats preety good for a rwd 4 banger man, 19 psi huh? must be a tiny turbo. that thing looks plenty fast dude. i for one am impressed!

Its a twin screw though so the torque is really nice...I just was hoping that the whp #s were higher. This means someone with one of these stock from a roll vs someone with a IRL Stage 2, the ION would probably win.

...and would have been able to do it for much less money...

although we do not have a near 50/50 weight distribution and coilovers from factory...lol

The torque is damn sure underrated... 250 wtq = 275-285 crank...

228 whp = ~260 crank...

So the motor is putting out 260/275... I'll take 'er...

But unlike ours, it falls really quick after it spikes...

Ours is flat, and the STOCK sky makes more torque over most of the band than a stage 2 redline with a 2.8" pulley.

Also, please note the dip in hp/torque near redline, must be were she's bleeding boost. I'd think another 10hp is there for the taking in stock form...

In Japan I don't think any car be rated over 277HP, so ever the Skyline on paper states that number...riiiiight!

It was 276hp that they "capped" it at, but I don't know if they still do. Furthermore, the US ratings used to cap NA engines on imports (only on certain countries, but Japan was one of them) to 120hp per liter as well. There's all sorts of stupid stuff like that out there.

That's exactly what I was thinking as I looked at the dyno sheet. I can see the ol' boost bypass bleeding boost for sure. I would also bet that GM has it tuned down just like our cars, and will release stage kits for the SRL as well.
