I ran into a 710HP Blue Audi R8 (Supercharged)
- Thread starter BATMANs
- Start date
Was pulling the info off of SOS website on their dynosheets they have posted in the supercharger section. AWD is key factor IMO
I will be playing again with my friend's R8 V8 with the SC that puts 540hp out and let you know. My car is at 400whp had it corner balanced with full tank of fuel 3068lbs
Find out exactly what his car is putting down. Stock R8 are 113-115 cars. If a chip and IHE gives it 40+ then it would be a 117-119. A 400rwhp NSX should be 118-120. Even on a roll-on reaction speed counts.
I ran him already and we were dead even. His supercharger will be on sometime next week. My point is with 400whp I couldnt take him with his extra 40hp. So im not sure how Batman thinks he would stand a chance against a V-10 with 710hp. I commented on a thread that was started about how a SC Nsx would waste an R8 which is not true. People were claiming that NA Nsx's were beating R8's. We raced several times and whoever hit the throttle 1st was in the lead.

Aventador, 911 TT and Veyron all do 0-60 in the 2's.
I think it may be more than just traction.

So what do i need? 500rwhp?
You need to buy a faster car or stay in the pond with the little fish. :wink:
That's because the earlier R8s were trapping around 110. I didn't know if they got a power increase or they found a way to reduce transmission losses. Does your friend have an automatic or manual? In the beginning the autos were only dynoing 335 to the rear wheels. That R-tronic or whatever eats power. The new transmission will be dual clutch.
Have you been to the track and done a couple of runs to determine your trap speed? Some dynos are optimistic, you may not have 400rwhp.
Honey, I have a built engine that can handle 650rwhp.
i won't need that much for a blown r8 v10.
I can always turbo my NSX, but for now i want to see just how much fun I can get with cranking my boost up with the new pulley on the SOS SC.
I was making a mockery of your "....compared to 260ish that Batman's car is putting down....."
That is a SOS supercharger dyno WITHOUT an intercooler. With an intercooler the SOS supercharger typically makes around 280rwtq. My car has a 2005 3.2l and with 9psi made 320rwtq.
I don't see how you made a mockery as you put it to my statement. Given the information supplied in this thread your SOS supercharger would put down exactly what I said, per SOS dyno results. The only mockery to be had would be you even considering racing this R8...lol

Your point being?
He has a newer R8 manual. I raced a SOS SC NSX with 386whp and pulled him in every gear. Stock R8 runs mid 12's. Both of us are pretty even and most 400whp Nsx trap 117-119mph so im pretty sure my car is 395-400whp right now. So to take on a V-10 with 710hp probably puts over 600whp down you will need turbo. Even if you can get 550whp out of the SOS blower that SC R8 V-10 will walk away from you. I would say the V-8 putting 540hp would be a much closer race for Batman considering 400whp wont walk a lightly modded NA version

Nice cumback. Aren't u glad ur so smart?
I know exactly what my setup makes. And it's a bit more than the OEM engine. Plus I have the DA IC which flows better

Ill put $100 on the R8....from a light, from a roll...hell you couldnt even beat that car while you were dreaming about racing it. Step it up grashopper and grow some turbos if you want to play with the big boys.
The problem is most tuner shops tell you it makes xxx amount of horsepower but many times the car does not run the times it should. Unless you increase the NSX engine to 3.5l the most I see the SOS blower doing is 470rwhp. You could do race or E-85 gas and with more timing get 500rwhp. That would be it because you would need 13-14 psi and pass this the efficiency of the blower drops off for our cars due to our high rpm. You could maybe go to a 2.9l supercharger and get close to 550rwhp. Technical turbo is the way to go after a engine build but if you already have a supercharger. Also our gears are steep unless you limit boost by gear (with a turbo) the horsepower over 470-500rwhp would be wasted.
Another thing the upgrade for the 40hp for the R8 is mainly through increased timing, when you go to the supercharger you lose that because timing must be retarded so realistically the upgrade is worth around ~80hp.
A 710hp R8 V10 would lose a lot more than 110hp due to the AWD so a 550rwhp NSX should beat it maybe even a 500rwhp.

The SOS SC NSX you raced what transmission does he have? If you raced a 5-speed your 6-speed has the advantage by at least 20hp because of torque multiplication etc. Without an intercooler you are probably down some horsepower as you race the R8. These top mounted SC don't shed heat quickly once they heat up no matter how long you drive before your next full throttle blast.
I'm running meth injection. It IAt top 150 degrees during my runs. I monitor them. I built and owned a 700whp Civic and spent plenty if time at the track. I understand trap speeds and I know what my car runs.
You monitor the stock sensor in the stock location. It is not accurate or reliable which is why SOS uses a different sensor in a different location. What are you using for engine management? If it is stock then you have no idea what amount of timing is being pulled.
I'm running an FIC. I monitored it before the meth injection and have noticed a 25 degree drop on the average. The actual number the sensor is reading really isn't all that important. What is important is the difference in temperature from not running the meth.
I laughed out loud at this. Best reply i've seen in a long time.. Will have to incorporate this somewhere..
At 400 hp I think it would be close if the r8 was also manual. Auto now a days just shifts fast. The NSX is so under rated, I can't tell you how many cars that normally dust the NSX like new m3 or Vette have raced me and been sadly disappointed when the blow off signaled victory. Now I don't even bother. I just give it enough gas to blow off the turbo then leave it at that.
I ran into him again with my GTO.
He saw me and had a insta-hard-on for some action.....

So my buddy that sold me the NSX just texted me last night that he just bought a brand new R8 V10 convertible with ALL options. I haven't seen it yet.
Since it's a 3900lbs car making 525HP and 395TQ what do you think the outcome would be between my NSX and his R8 from a freeway roll?
