You will find, that when they're on a running car with exhaust gas flowing, they will open at a lower pressure. Why? The exhaust gas is also exerting force onto the diaphragm through the actual gate... The R33 connected direct to the actuator should not run over 5PSi. When the solenoid activates it bleeds off some air, meaning the pressure the actuator is seeing, is lower then what is really there. IE, if it's really at 7PSi, the actuator is only seeing 5PSi still... If you give it full pressure, it'll open further, and reduce pressure until it sits back at 5PSi...

It comes down to the tune and how you drive it. My first one let rip with oil surge on a track, mixxed with an over rev when it stepped out in second gear. Well that was the initial thought. Now it appears that the thrust bearings had worn out massively allowing the crank to float and just annhilate everything. The second motor let rip with what appears to be a cracked oil pump. But this motor spent a shit load of time living life on the hard rev limiter at a motorkhana (Big turbo, very hard to get it to keep the tyres spinning at part throttle without hitting the limiter, if it didn't hit the limiter it bogged and died). If I drove these motors peacefully, I'm near on 100% sure the second one would still be together today (The first one, probably not... It was a PITA from the get go) If you can break rods, you're going well. Pistons may let go if it's not tuned properly. The biggest killer is normally oil control, get a good oil pump on there and doa winged/baffled sump especially if you plan to do ANY form of drivig events (Even if you only do one!!!)

I think really everyone should stop crying and stop speeding... I was taught to drive that in a 10 second period you should have checked all three mirrors and your speedo. EVERY 10 seconds... I managed this the whole way back and forth from Canberra the last few weekends I've been (3 hour drive) When I'm in the city, I also throw into that mix checking my blind spots once every 10 seconds... Guess what, I've only been caught speeding from being a douche before (And forgetting the road had changed speedlimits... LOL) You know why? In that 10 second period, if your car accelerates more then 5KM/H... You'll FEEL IT! SRS, you people are acting like a bunch of toddlers that have just had a lollipop taken off them!

Oh, and to give a comparison, I could have babied mine around like a grandma, but all of my Kays were driving to and from driving events and at the events. I did 2 track days on one bottom end (Well, actually 3 sessions at half pace each day) and then one texi. The other one managed to get tuned on the dyno, then make the 3rd session at a track day and everything let go.

Hey there big spender!

Would only do it when running. If it's off majorly, it'll do it by hand also.

Slappers on big turbos do NOT last long... I've broken 2 now... With a max of 1000KM on them... Pushing 1Bar (14PSi) through TD07S housings, t66 front and a t04r rear wheel. Nothing below 4000/4500RPM, then everything ramps in over 200/300RPM... Rev limited at 6600RPM. On the dyno it made "250RWKW" wheel spinning like a spastic... Using fuel consumption and AFR it would be making around 360RWKW... (69% inj duty on 880cc injectors)

I would say they're worth about half what the RTA actually wants for them.

The only people I've heard of that have reverted, haven't changed the brake pedal ratio.

I'll find out for you in regards to the alternator... I'm being lent some top secret information that should have that in it...

Andrew, I think brad makes looms for exactly what you want. Secondly, get a kmon and hook up the knock sensors so you have knock warning. Ditch the charcoal canister, just get rid of it. Like GONE! You should look at converting you brake to have no booster as well. Also my turbo mani and dump are off for you along with lines. It also looks like part of my oil issue with that turbo is oil pullin in the return just out side the block which would have popped the seals.

You sure those lil' bits of steel are going to hold that big chunka bar up for the whole rally?

Look for the person who has a phone nber called mum and ring it! It's not moniques, and Duncs and Neil so far haven't claimed to have lost it, so check through your passenger list...

Keep at that power level, and just learn to thrash it hard! No point going for more until you learn (I learnt this the hard way... now I'm changing cars!) Throw some good tyres on, and a good set of pads. Should hold up for a track day fine. I ran Project Mu HC+ pads in Shell's car, and they only had one drama, and that was when Shell and I did a stint back to back at the end of the day, and I really hammered them! And 1:15 isn't bad! About what I was managing in the stocker... And I had a ball!

In my experience, screw that! Step1: AWESOME TYRES! Step2: Sort out every ounce of the suspension first Step3: Big Brakes Step4: Big Reliable Power.

You know you want to... Track Rims and then a set of Street Rims...

Look at the adaptronic then, either the e420c or e1280s.

Advan RGII are where it's at!

If you're not in the grass you're not finding the limit!

Tenchi's photos will be available from the DVD.

Well, it looks like this adventure of smashed motors, and other issues from crazy horse power is coming to an end. Another motor is going in (Still a 30) although a smaller turbo is being put on and then the car sold off. But don't worry! The big turbo is going to another member to blow motors up with and I'll be back straight away with most likely two new beasties for some circuit work!

Call Shell... The 33 is a mess... ROFL

It talks about multiple devices. Not multiple inlets. It has a SC and a turbo. IE, 2 devices...

Just reading the regs on all of this duncan, I think you'll be stuck with two restrictors... PS: I haven't finished reading ths damn 3 million page long manual, so there may be something I've missed...

Thanks to Ando, Chubbs, Clappa and Steveo for working hard all day! Personal huge thanks to both Neil and Duncan for the instruction. MASSIVE help! HUGe thanks to Shell also, was awesome fun in MTF! Oh and Shell still drove it back to Canberra! Well, left Wakefield anyway in it!
