Theres a huge car park at willowbank raceway and, get this. You can actually use your high performance car on the drag strip instead of standing around with your cock hangin out saying "look at me"
OR! You could join the latte set. The same bunch go to a coffee shop every friday night Then all stand around the same cars that were there last week and say excactly the same things. Hardcore I tellya.
A man was found floating in sydney harbor today wearing Fishnets, stilettos, lace black undys, garter belt, black bra, lipstick and makeup, and a blues jumper.
Police removed the jumper to save embarrassment for his family.
Valvoline also do a specific run in oil and its not overly expensive. We do what most here do, 50/100 k on run in oil. dump the oil and filter. 500 k on a better oil then dump oil and filter again. and on to normal service intervals from there 3000k motul synthesis and filter.
As for running in race engines its harder than it used to be. We used to drop our drag v8s in to an old hk mule and follow the above procedure but it was a lot easier than doing it a modern import. only took about an hour or so to change an engine out.
Skylines etc area little more complicated than that. Best bet would be to take it to a time attack or similar and rather than race just use the track time to run the engine in.
Several builders I have spoken to claim that with modern materials engines dont have to be run is as such but i guess old habits die hard. It is also interesting to note that i have seen some of these engines fail prematurely for no good reason while the engines that have been run in correctly (to my way of thinking) are fine.
Dont use kero. It will leave an oil residue and the paint wont adhere properly.
I give mine a fine sand with wet and dry, Clean it off with prepsol, then use a plastic primer (available from super cheap in pressure pak cans) then paint it and finally clear coat it.
This system works well and even under the bonnet using non heat proof paints it has stuck well and looks good.
Its definitely the housing mate. I ran that housing on my 35R and i didnt see full boost till late 4000 rpm. The .82 housing pulled it back to mid 3000.
