  1. .
  2. ^ that's true but apart from that, anywhere else its just costing you- on the rest of the inlet or exhaust tract: rough walls/deliberate obstructions to induce turbulence = friction = more drag = increase in air temperature = reduction in air density = less power.
  3. you can be sure it's not getting around with the original plates on it i think we'll need a bit more of a description than that
  4. i might start a fake account so i can see just how many zeros i can fit after a number 9 on my bid
  5. There are lots of fanciful claims for the Hoey's power output. The original figures were in SAE (Say Anything Exciting). The modern figures in DIN put it somewhere closer to 220-230kW. Not a whole lot for a pre-emissions 351c.i V8. And '4V' heads in clevo speak doesn't mean 'multi-valve'. The heads definately only feature 2 pushrod operated valves per cylinder.
  6. ah, this is another one of those shit talkin' threads now as you were, carry on....
  7. Button? noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo he's hella shit
  8. The only turbulence you want is inside the chamber, to aid combustion. Turbulence anywhere else is just adding to the pumping losses and costing you power.
  9. come to crazy Shauns and get a bargain now only $450
  10. It's all about peak cylinder pressures, and the engines resistance to knock (gets back to squish characteristics, and combustion chamber/head design) I'm sure the Falc' with it's shitty 2-valve heads wouldn't have had a great volumetric efficiency (didn't make much power for a 5.8L motor), whereas a late model Ferrari or Porsche motor with their 11 or 12-point-something to 1 comp ratios would have huge peak cylinder pressures at high revs, due to the volume density of air the heads flow.
  11. So in for this- I could hardly miss my own birthday dinner
  12. this ~$125K price that's being bandied about seems kinda hard to believe
  13. it'll prolly be shit how could it possibly live up to the hype
  14. that roXXors looks heaps better than the usual murci
  15. good to see they still have the super-drift class for that
  16. What a day My mate Nath finished 4th- Would have been 3rd, put he somehow managed to select 1st instead of 3rd coming into turn 1 and spun ><, first time in 2 years
  17. it's wrong to steal, you know
  18. buuuuuuuump
  19. so very in for this
  20. never seen anything like that. you could mebe try and make one out of sound deadening mat and heat sheild tape but it'd look ghetto
  21. my pulsar will pwn you all
  22. yeah, I got an up close and personal view of a few such efforts
  23. i have a fairly manky looking R32 GT-R in my garage you can take bits off if you like
  24. yes, if you cover the postage cost would need the money first obviously, but any number of people on the forum can vouch for my trustworthiness
  25. It'd be a substantial pay cut for me at that price, But it'd be a lot more fun than my current job.
