It is indeed. Bosch are unable to supply the airflow meters in quantity until May.

Yes that would be awesome....

I'm always down that way.. I often see 2 R33's up on Blacks Road Flagstaff Hill, A silver and a black.

Allthough I love the black I don't think I would own one again. Can anyone say finger marks?

Ahh that will explain the 17degree's FCD I assume? Awesome effort!

What noise is it making?

REdgtst, I suggest you read this. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=106720 The majority of us have had enough. I've received too many post reports.

1400r, is that 17degree's at peak torque or 17 degree's at peak power?

Lately there has been an influx of members bragging about their illegal hoon activites. Its not about 'learning' to let other people express their opinion or because we are 'angels' and wouldn't step out of line. There is a time and place for everything.. This is NOT the place to be discussing illegal hoon activites. Enough is enough. Do it and you will receive warnings and possible ban.

? The spigot bush is located in the snout of the crank. Its easy to remove but the gearbox does have to come out, the part is only a couple of dollars.

I think it was the usual www.bobistheoilguy.com

valvoline oil filter = bad. Run a purolator premium or genuine. Genuine isn't expensive.

I too used the same sensor, the old motor would read lower oil pressure due to a different oil pump but still display the strange some oil pressures at times, turn the car off, start it again and its good.

I haven't seen him working since.. There's a new asian dude.

I only ever drive mine locally... No open road. 15L per 100 is pretty damn bad.. To the usual 50litres thats around 330-340km's per tank. Depending on how much I am stuck up it I get no lower than 410-430kays per 50litres. Thats a lot of spirited hills driving. General driving to work/uni and back up to the oldies I get pretty much spot on 470km's per tank. The rb20det was pretty much the same.

The R32 RB20DET is claimed to have 10.5L/100km's. I used to achieve that with the stockish rb20det. Even now after its been tuned, injectors replaced as the others were stuffed, o2 sensor replaced its now getting 10.6L/100km's with the rb30det. Prior with the buggered injectors it was getting 13-14L/100km's towards the end. The oldies V8 100series Landcruiser.. Rated at 16L/100km's, that gets 17L/100km's, and my old dear is a lead foot. She loves that toyo v8 growl. I think the average is a fairly good indicator. The Territory being only slightly heavier than the Falcon it shouldn't be much different, possibly highspeed cruise may due to aero thats about it.

The Ford territory's are suprisngly good on fuel. 12.8 for the awd or 12.2 for the rwd. No doubt being the turbo it will use slightly more but driven well it will return the same economy as its n/a version. This has been proven to be true with the skylines and xrt fords so why should it be any different with the territory.

Definitely throw a multimeter on to it and see if its receiving voltage. I rewired my pump via a relay to receive voltage directly from the battery. Volts went from ~11 something under load to 13.8.

It really is easy for one who has the tools. Easier than trying to get plugs and sensors to fit. :S

Stroker won't help make more peak power but it will aid in a higher average power. It also gives you a little more head room to make more power with the same response/spool rate as the smaller non-stroked motor should you run a larger turbo on the stroked motor. Then there's the head room with regards to cams, the stroked motor will be more streetable with huge cams in it, this is where the stroked motor will make more power on the same boost due to improved airflow without dipping below the lower rpm torque values of the non stroked motor. Average power is what accelerates a car, not peak power. I'm sure you know this. BUT at the end of the day what is the use for the car? Does slightly more bottom end torque and 500rpm or slightly less spool improvement really matter to you?

The search defaults to the last 30days, select any date. Thats the problem.

As Nathan said when he drove mine with its 4.363:1. It feels as if it doesn't get time to 'use' the torque from the motor to accelerate the car. Darren, how do you now find throttle control/traction?

You worry too much.

The other thing to look at is the 100RON fuel that is slowly becoming available. Hopefully it becomes a little more mainstream. When I built my motor the engine builder really wanted to go down to 8:1 if I were to run 20+psi on pump fuel. He mentioned there was some fuel ron to boost graph on some supercharger web site. Basically he said.. higher comp ratio with low boost on pump fuel won't make as much power as lower comp ratio with higher boost on pump fuel. But that is once on boost.. He was from a supercharged v8 background so i'm not sure if the same principles really apply. I would assume they do. I'm not sure if the 0.2bar of boost for every half a point drop in compression ratio would actually = the same power. I do know it equals the same dynamic compression, would this really equal more power? See the new 911 Porsche runs a Variable nozzle Turbo and makes 350kw or there abouts.. 600 and some thing nm of torque from 1950rpm.

The R32 RB25 head does bolt up without mods. BUT... The VCT isn't a LOT more work, its very minimal. Don't worry about it just dive in and do it. There's plenty of information around on how to do it. Measure the rb25det vct oil restrictor and be sure to place one in the feed to the vct from the pressure sender. The point is... You will find plugs and connections to be different with the r32 rb25de head, not to mention different injectors, throttle body etc.. Its more work doing that than having your engine builder block off the vct oil supply drill and tap a new one.
