  1. Always wanted an LJ. Strangely I am more a 6 cylinder guy than V8s. I was really trying to get my brother to buy one but I ended up getting him an SS Chevelle out of the US. Mega cruiser but LJ would have been a more entertaining drive
  2. At Monaco it was a little embarassing that the sound of the GP2s off the city was miles better than the F1s
  3. Mint looking Torana. Any pics of the VCT feed?
  4. Point he is easily good enough to get the job done if Lewis doesnt fire on a particular weekend. Between the two of them even if they didnt have a good car advantage you would imagine they woudl still be qualifying well and racing well and taking solid points haul I am surprised to say I feel a little sorry for the Russian....he is absolutely gutted and lost at the moment. Bring back Petrov
  5. So thats a 0.82 on a 2L Evo? Thanks for posting. I am simply going on the single example I have seen in person and then reading various sites, and as per that link i posted some pretty detailed testing vs the 3076. I am asking questions here more than making statements. And yes transient response is ace...but I am a poor bastard and whilst I would love to have all the power and response in the world...my budget means I need to compromise somwhere...to invest what is about 4.5k in a 7670 installed on my car....well I need to really warm to the idea if it going to make the same power as what just came off
  6. 87mm bore, 9:1 comp, Kelford 272x9.33 cams, OS valves. What manifolds is the lil RB25 running? Its the T4 TS 1.05 housing?
  7. Ahh....I had missed those posts. Will go digging for it . Thanks!!!!
  8. Also found these in the bottom of a box and forgot I had them. I run 343mm rotors rather than the 340mm these were intended for when used with the Biot 340 rotor and Brembo F40/F50 caliper. About the biggest rotor / caliper arrangement you can get under most 17" wheels ( I run TE37s with no clearance problems) There are several cheap Brembo F40/F50 setups for sale on SAU at the moment so will help you get a good setup for reasonable dollars Off this kit http://www.biot.co.jp/products/biot/caliper/f50-4pot/ http://www.biot.co.jp/products/biot/caliper/f50-4pot/brembo-f50-4pot-340/ http://www.biot.co.jp/products/biot/rotor/front/ Asking $300 delivered for them Ther ppls posts on suitable calipers being for sale
  9. So I old all my 2.4L Tomei pistons and Procams a while ago and have these still laying around. Tomei Part No. 163006 (16108x24) All in vacuum sealed bags so no issue of any corrosion or damage since their removal http://www.tomeiusa.com/_2003web-catalogue/e097_v-lifter.html Happy with $300 for them delivered
  10. Couldn't tell you. I bought them several laptops ago and emails, and details are long gone. If you have any means of telling them apart I am happy to check
  11. Yeh, there are some Evo 8 thru 10 results that tempt me..but bascally its 3076 response and power with better transient response. Which is ....wishy washy stuff. Tempted to just go 7163 and give it a gut full and at least habe it all in...but that is wooftah 427ci cave man stuff. Its a turbo car....it shoudl be about soaring top end
  12. So does anyone know a 7670 result out there that makes it a no brainer decision? I have spent this morning again cruising google and can only find one old article which supports what i was saying about the SR20 comparison. http://blog.perrinperformance.com/borg-warner-efr7670-turbo-exposed-and-tuned-part-2/ I did see some good results on a std EVO X ... i think i am going to stick with what i got
  13. Had these laying around forever but sold my RB26 head years ago and never going to build one so. Bought these off yahoo auctiins and are meant to be Apexi V-Max retainers. Honestly they are new but they look like std to me but cant be sure unless i have them side by side with std. From whatbi can see from pics and jap mags they are a matching colour for Apexi retainers. Either way...take them off my hands $100 delivered
  14. Perfect for any EFR, Precision, Garrett or Trust turbo that has a 4" inlet. Even better if you run MAP as it means you are sure to get plenty of air into the turbo with little power loss due to less surface area of inlet filters. Was to be used with my T67 but sold my Greddy setup $180 plus delivery. Located in Melb
  15. The car looked to be a well sorted bit of kit...it was a std bottom end but ran full bolt on Full Race manifold, twin gates etc on a neat S15. Its one result...so not right to judge. That EVO is a bit looneybin that its a stroker and big boost. The 7670 may not be the gun conbination thatvthe likes of 8374/RB26s are. I look around and there are very few SR results with EFR turbos so i just dont know...i had hoped it would blow away a GT3076...i just need to see more results for the 7670
  16. And now a lift on the radio ban...muppets cant make up their minds. I can't believe these ppl get paid a fortunre to run this show. Now we have to listen to engineers telling Lewis what gear to be in and where to brake whilst Sky tell us how awesome he is for using every tool at his disposal. Real WDC stuff whilst any other driver receiving coaching is a hack and not capable of driving the car
  17. Well next to an SR20 running an XR6 turbo it wasnt all that flash....i think the thing with EFR turbos do they really perform that well on 20-22psi? They seem to like 26-32psi which on my Cossie runnin 98 i am not keen on running hugh boost, even though it runs 28psi now.
  18. Yeh, I dont see anyone else on the grid worth signing up ahead of next year. That other German is doing well but you only have to look at him next to his team mate at Manor and you can see he is no way ready for the seat next to Hamilton....it would destroy him
  19. That makes sense thrn. I have seen Full Race twin gate 7670 setup on an SE20 a (std S15) with cans and on 98 or E85 it was enough to turn me off...didnt make power or response to write home about. Partly why i am looking at a 7163 for my 2L YB Cosworth
  20. Am i missing something? What mods to the engine? That leaves any SR20 7670 result I have seen for dead!
  21. I am easy pleased. I enjoyed the race. Had some tension and enough tough, hard close racing to keep me entertained.
  22. Yeh, slowly getting it together. I am slowly slapping it all back together including some new little projects that I am keen to try. Also selling off all th ebits off my built RB25 while its healthy to help fund the new engine I am piecing together. The recent Euro trip to Monaco and tom-foolery hurt the budget so still slugging away with a small spend per month. Hope to have it back on the road tuned with the new Kinda surprise motor by Xmas and summer. Lol wanted to put A/C back in the car so used that as silly justification for a new engine
  23. It is up for sale as I am slowly taking out the built RB25 that is currently in my car and selling parts as they come off. Was polished silver... But when swapping out the RB20 for the RB25DE (uses all the same bolts ons as the RB20) i got a little carried away with red crackle paint so manifold is currently red. The only changes in the below plots are the PLazmaman plenum and a change from a HKS Type S intercooler to a larger ARC GTR Cooler. As you can see on the RB20 I lost response but you can see up top at red line it doesnt nose over meaning if you are willing to rev over 7,000rpm for the last 1,000-1,500rpm you can make more up top. If you run E85 then the manifold is a good upgrade as it allows you to wind in boost and ignition and powers holds on up top Or if you run a larger turbo like below, (change from TD06 to T67) then again you can see by the shape of the curve it comfortably holds on up top despite boost falling way off due to no EBC running at the time ASKING $520, located in Melbourne
  24. LOL, Lauda certainy is a no BS guy and you wonder whether he is over Lewis. Coming out and telling media that he trashed a Merc roomafter losing out in quali to Nico and telling the world he is simply lying about his relationship/respect with Nico is probably telling us something
