Max HP for FC

What is the most hp/torque that can be gotten out of these cars and it still actully be a fc? After a while you upgrade so much stuff your only left with the body of a car and nothing else is actully from the car.

Cool

It's pretty hard to say. I've seen a 750 hp FD that was still rotary and everything but as for the FC... 400 - 550 I'd say. Check the dynos area. I could be way off.

CORRECTION: 700 hp FD

Sky is the limit! It all depends on what you're talking about. Most HP/Torque while still streetable? Or most HP/Torque in an all out drag car? Those are two very different worlds with very different limits of power.

3 billion. You could get 700hp out of an FC, all depends on the tuning of the car.

Kool thanks, i was playing GT4 and the car tops out in the 400's and i was just wondering what it was actully able to to put out. Yes Rota7 is right. Im talking about actully still having the 13bt motor in the car still. Not putting in a V8 engine in it then maxing it out since you no longer have a FC you have a FC shell with a V8 engine. Streetable, it didnt matter to me streetable or drag. I was just wondering what it was capable of.

Although what is streetable is actully another thought but i guess it would depend on where you live since diffrent places have diffrent rules and standards to go by IE emissions and stuff.

Hey smart one, look right above your post. ReTed just posted 700hp some shop has. Stop pulling **** out of your *** esp. with your 7 posts no idoit will listen to you. Are you some rotary expert or something that you know if you are pushing 500hp you have to swap out the motor every year? I'm sick of noobs like yourself comming here and pulling **** out of their *** and posting it with no knowledge what so ever on the topic.

id say 550 is the limit j/k

but i did read of a rotary making something short of over 900 hp but i honestly cannot recal if it was a 3 rotor or not.... anybody know of anything about this? im looking through my books at home trying to find it, if i find it i will post it.

Damn that sux to hear. Oh well there is a good # of Aussies with FCs pushing those #s to. Oh well I have to agree 4-500 is proabably your most realistic and common high HP FCs. I do know there is higher though. I guess my advice is just not to believe the limits or lack there of in video games. Usually video games today are pretty close to real life in the race games but just because the game says the highest HP you can have is 400 does not make it so. I mean a BNR stage 4 can give you 370 rwhp alone and thats a hybrid.

well I plan to put around 400-450hp down with mine

running a Streetported 13BT with a T04S, 620 primarys, 1600 secondarys, High Performance Racing Beat Exhaust(not the catback) and a bunch of other bolt ons.

And to kick it off I am going to set up a 3 gallon Alcholo tank in the front running off a spair fuel pump and a T valve(so I can run pump gas or Alcholo depending on if I am at the track or on the street), which should kick me up to around 500-550HP.

and thats not even pushing the limits.

got a special suprise instore for when the motor pops a 13BRE sitting in the garage.

First off there is no too much Horse Power....


It all depends on what you want man, I know a bunch of guys around me pushing 350HP and they are very happy with it.

But as for me I want a bit more so I am aiming for 450 on gas and 550 on Alcohol. I want to drive it on the street and take it to the track.

For street use and reliability I would stick with around 350-400HP. That should give you more than enough power to take out other street cars, and if you can't take them out in a straight line go for some turns and hand them their ***
