  1. Nick (Intune) has had one installed also. Both his and mine are KV8's. A little more expensive than the usual "Link plug in/Haltech whatever/blah blah" but it has more inputs and outputs then you can poke a stick at. All depends on what you plan on running with it. You can get a patch loom made so you don't have to hack up your factory loom.
  2. Is boost pressure alone giving the full story of how much power the engine is actually making?
  3. Return or feed?
  4. Twin EFR's look just as out of place as one larger single. Twin EFR's don't mount in the factory position.
  5. Means I'll NEVER have to revisit it again. Done!
  6. They come with new buckets. I *believe* they drop into a factory head but can't confirm.
  7. Another option is the Mines Shore pro 2 shafts which are 252 @ 10.05. A little more expensive though. Almost another 1 mm of lift though.
  8. Where are your current cams set at? Considered just playing around with them to get the low endish twist you want without the major expense?
  9. It will be sporty, that's for sure.
  10. Update! Fuel system is almost completed. - Aftermarket Industries SP 1200 using 2 of the possible 3 Walbro 460's. - Speedflow 200 series black braid hose. -10 all round with a -12 breather. - Had a fuel hat spun up to accept the factory rubber. (This is away getting machined up to accept the fittings ATM). - Ethanol sensor in the return line which has a bypass around it. The by pass has a 1 or 2 psi one way valve in it to push as much fuel through the sensor. - Hypertune rail which got annodised black. - Bosch 1700 cc injectors. - 3 X Fuelab 828 series (5 inch long element) fuel filters. 1 is a 40 Micron pre surge tank, the other 2 are 6 Micron in parallel post surge tank. Got the reground HKS V-Cam back. It started life as a 264 @ 8.7 mm. Duration at 50 thou was 222.xx. It's not a "270 ish" @ 10.25 mm. Duration at 50 thou is 229.54. The Unigroup "260" at 50 thou is 232.34, so a little more agro. That has 10.85 mm. The Base circle went from 32 to 30.1 mm on the modified V cam camshaft. Unigroup cam left, V cam right. Unigroup left, V cam right. Unigroup left, V cam right. You can see the different sizes of the nose between them. Totally different, not to mention all the oil gallery machining going on in there.
  11. Nitto/HKS/JUN/Spool/Whatever says there bottom end is safe to "X"? If you throw a leg out of bed, how do you claim warranty?... Good luck! A turbocharger is no different. One of my -5's had shaft play like nothing else within 5,000 kms. Did I claim warranty? No. Were they operated out of what they were designed to do? Possibly!
  12. Thing is, there are ways to measure it. Would you run a standard RB26 to 13,000 RPM, then when it dies jump up and down saying the engine is badly designed? Operate the turbo within it's parameters and you'll have no issue. How is that different to any other mechanical item?
  13. The surge tank used to get scorching hot.
  14. Wouldn't where you change be dictated by your power curve? What rpm do you nose over at?
  15. Geoff, can you confirm any sort of update with the 8374. I haven't seen any "update/gen2/revised" from the get go? What exactly has been "updated"?
  16. Brand new? The EFR range is almost 7 years old now.
  17. Didn't really mention my car at all. Im back on Tuesday.
  18. Won't fit with v cam being used. Not a big fan of them anyway TBH.
  19. Nah. the world record car was on a hoist. There was a 32 without an engine and box in it. Heaps of finished engines all wrapped up.
