Swiper the Fox

yes a white R33 GTS-t...with lots of tyre smoke.

yes the girdle should be assembled with the fasteners you are planning to use and big end tunnel measured...accept nothing as a given...doing so may result in a costly mess. Sounds like your builder is up to the task...as he knows what to look for and check to see if the gear is serviceable. Ive heard if engines throwing bearings and guys spending top $$ to get a rebuild only for the engine to spin one again on the same journal because the builder was too stupid to check why the original engine failed and rectify the cause.

Holy sh1tballs Dave...look at the bloody torque curve!!!...its still making 740NM at 7500rpm... did we port the head on that engine or is it STD ports?...yes that is "almost unbelieveable"

bumparama

you have pm...if nathan takes this one there will be only 1 left....then group buy will be closed.

Id use the E-boost if i had to choose between those two...if i had any choice id use a Blitz ID-III...the best on the market.

Ive re-used them on my own engines in the past...one engine was seeing 35psi making over 600hp with used bolts. They are pretty cheap to buy though and although i have reused them on my own stuff i dont recommend other people do it just in case they have an issue.

A dream yes...but wait for the twin turbo VR38 T51R Pro FX drag car on methanol...that will be nuts!!

-5's are similar to HKS 2530's...the -10's are the ones similar to GT-RS'

double post

Godzilla Motorsport cars will be out in force... The little black duck (Mark Jacobsen) Twoogle (Paul Diemar) RH9 (John Alphabet) R34 GTR (Willo) The Red Rocket (Tony Wedlock) VL JWauto (Justin Wilkinson) and a few other customer cars... hope we all go well...good luck to the other competitors.

The coventional thinking though is that 3rd gear makes more power...well there is a poofteenth of a nats d1ck in it if you work it out as a percentage of overall power. Next time im on a Mainline ill do a back to back without restrapping the car. Id say it will be almost identical. Jim from Croydon commented to them about how hard they had the car pulled down on the Saturday, so on Sunday the car wasn't pulled down as hard so it made a little more. Anyhow...back to you Marko.

ok 4th gear the next day we wanted over 500KW so we changed the last two percentages in the AFM table so it made slighty more power in the top end by running slightly leaner...other than that essentially the same tune. If we didn't touch it it would have made the same power as the 4th gear run, although in my opinion the strapping of the car on the 3rd gear run was also better as the car rode up higher on the roller. these runs are 25psi it seems pretty much the same result is achieved on a Mainline dyno whether its in 3rd or 4th. a few years earlier we did back to back runs in 4WD and 2WD...the difference was 2kw. These Mainline units are clever...you cannot fool them...they read very accurately.

yep...we weren't pushing it as the engine was only fired up 2 days earlier and we were already almost 100kw ahead in the dyno challenge. I didn't see the point of flogging the car on the dyno to please the ricer fans and show car owners set-up next to the dyno cell were whinging about the raw fuel the car was showering them with. The day earlier during the qualifying runs it made 355KW at 11psi...this shocked Todd from Mainline, he looked at me in the car and said..."its only making 11psi mate...is something wrong...i laughed and said not at all, we will come back tomm. and roll 600 with 20psi" (600hp) and we did. Autosalon don't like exceeding 200km/h on the dyno due to some insurance restraints...every now and then they do. It actually makes no differenceon their dyno whether its 3rd gear or 4th...ill show you something that may dispell another myth if you like. Again if thats ok with you Marko. Gary would love to see the RS powered VQ...what an engine that would be.

here tis... see two posts below... you must remember this was run-in @ 20psi only, the torque increased and came in earlier once it was properly tuned with more timing a much less fuel...I don't ask Jim to print off graphs for me as it means 3/5ths of fu(k all when lined up at the track so you will have to put up with the Autosalon ones.

I may upset Steve-o if i put up my graph...ive got a better one to post...its pump...2530's...basic Nissan engine...home built...stock plenum...260 cams...no tricks...at 25psi...Mobil Synergy 8000. Its a good comparo as its same dyno/tuner etc. ill put it up if Marko wants to see it...its his thread. 9K the one you would like to see is the one from Autosalon with the GT-RS's... it was the day after i ran my engine in...was a basic CRD run-in tune...again pump fuel but this time BP98...only 20psi of boost. Its not really fair to compare a race engine to Marko's...it made 460 something the night before at CRD both Marko's and my curves could be overlayed from CRD's dyno computer and printed off but...even Jim told him not to compare the two when he was getting tuned. Ill see again what Marko says.

gotta be quick...i always seem to get things sold within a few days...except when i offered the whole bloody car for sale. Quality well maintained gear reasonably priced always sells fast. E85 system consisting of 1600cc injectors, Aeromotive high flow regulator, Waterman crank driven mechanical fuel pump and 20litre fuel cell going in. Deposit recieved....Thanks Bubble.

The taxman.

As Bakes says...if it makes you happy its a bargain. how much do you get back from Wayne Swan for the engine ?

to be fair yours still has a little way to go though Marko and i was running more boost (27psi)...why do you think im building one. can't wait to see what it does with my head, turbo and plenunm on one drinking methanol at 35psi. a direct comparison between my current bottom end and the 30 after running mine in with pump shall be interesting...my turbo should really come into its own. I feel that 30 bottom ends do have their application, but im far from convinced they are the be all and end all.

lol...interesting comparison though...just shows a basic 26...is just as good as a big $$ 30...and makes earlier torque but doesn't hold on as long. The graphs are very similar with Marko's pipping mine by 0.1KW I thought you may have been hinting at your engine...don't you run smaller cams Steve ?

what about smaller cams, turbo's ,capacity, same dyno, same tuner, same fuel and relatively standard home built engine using only pistons, rod bolts and cams from the aftermarket catalogue?

are you saying ive had no experience with Microtech? i used to own one...in all things an R31...then Dave had to put up with one in his R33...one of my good mates who's car i tune...or used to tune... as Mark Jacobsen has taken over now he has upgraded from the Jap computer in a silver box...to something a bit like a Link. Ben and i had a nice chat about the Link ecu and he was impressed...his words were "once its fully developed with full plug and play with afm capabilities it will be a great product." So why are you such a hater? or is it just the sheep mentality? Microtech's are a great ecu for a given application...just ask the Puerto Rican drag racers. His application is not a WOT rotary powered drag car... its an in-line 6 road car. Just ask Shane Crichton who owns the fastest Cressida on the planet...the Microtech cost him an engine.
