How FAST can you make your GR?

hey guys... just wondering who else has a GR and how many kw are you running at? and what cars you can outrun?
just being curious...

You certainly can make them go

As much as I dislike comparing dyno's (as the results vary so bady) the last run up I had was close to 120kw.

You do the same mods to a GR that you do to a GPX & you'll get some grunt out of it. My special ingrdient is cams. I dare say they worked on the cams as GR ones are a lot easier to work with than mivec cams. They are a more traditional style. Before you ask, the cams were done in HK by Ralliart

I have no contact there, nor do I know what was involved in the grind on them.

And being the head honcho of this fine establishment Im not about to disclose what cars I can 'outrun' (although many GPX owners ought beware

)

There are a couple of other 'freak GR's' around - ex vice pres kaveman is one, moderator G_A_V is the other.

GR's are still impressive, from stock they are only 20hp lower than the MIVEC, the two engine are pretty much the same,

Post by **Bennoz** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 9:01 pm

From the factory 127kw @ 6600rpm, Torque 185nm @ 3800rpm

Thats measured at the flywheel, not the wheels

sweet thanks Bennoz

Btw, without doing anything extreme like supercharging or getting a turbo kit, what can u get to get better performance out of it?

Post by **Bennoz** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 12:19 am

Same things as the GPX kids do. Air filter & intake upgrade, extractors & exhaust upgrades, piggy back ECU etc. Its all very similar.

nice nice.. know of any places you can recommend in sydney that deal with FTOs

Now I'm just taking advantage of your "Divine" knowledge and asking too many questions
