What compound? I have driven a car with what I was told were PFC01s and I loved them. Really, really nice. I grabbed some PFC06 which are meant to be the Endurance spec PFC01 with a little less bite but far kinder on rotors and I simply found them WAAAAY too bitey and was forever locking brakes Was a tad gutted

TVR Sagaris. LOL, half the reason I have been trying to get a job in Europe the past 18 months as it is my dream car and one day will bring one to Aus as a personal import

http://page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v228047993 I think that is the same one as I have. I dont know if it takes the 56.4/47.5mm turbine or 56.4/49mm turbine. I will know if it bolts together by this weekend when I get back to Melbourne and try to piece/bolt it all together. Worst case I may need to get the housing machined to take the larger exducer of the TD05H wheel if it is indeed a TD05 housing

Yeh, I have a Greddy 8cm rear housing so will go straight onto my 6boost, external gate setup. So will be interesting to see how it goes. If the numbers look pretty good it will make me more relaxed about putting the billet wheel in my 20G as I am concerned that despite makes claims the bigger billet wheel will make the 20G laggier. But time will tell. If someone knows a good tuner who is happy to lend dyno time for the experiment. I have a TD05H-18G;8cm, TD06-20G;8cm, TD06-20G;10cm, T67-25G;8cm, T67-25G;10cm, TD06-25G;10cm and TD06-73HTA. Would be cool to spend two days on the dyno and just bolt them all on-off and get some baseline tunes in to see merits of each setup. Truth is the 25G kits are all too big for the 20 so will stick with the 8cm housings and try TD05H-18G vs current 20G setup vs TD06-73HTA On my TD06-20G i struggle to make any more power after 19-20psi. I am all for running whatever boost makes the most power but you may well find that whilst you may make a little more mid-torque with more boost, you wont be making any more top end irrespective of how much more boost you run

LOL, i have the injectors that will give my fuel system enough head room. My problem is the amount of kms my car does as a street car makes it pretty hard to go E85. So the only real option is flexi fuel and cant justify the spend on electronics. So when I start doing more street kms in the Sierra the R32 may find its way on to E85 as it wont be doing so many work kms to Geelong, Yarrawonga etc etc So until then I will just sit back and hang shit on people who are fortunate enough or dedicated enough to be running corn feed LOL, its all a bit of fun but its hard to justify replacing a $600 engine that has done 60,000kms and still makes ~260rwkws. If I can get an eflex setup going it would be able to catch up a little in the power game as anything under 300 these days is cannon fodder. But seems the eflex arrangement is about 3k. I am close to having an eflex setup for free which if it works will be ACE

Alcon 6 pot or 4 pot Brembos? And Momo, East Bear or Sparco seat?

I have bought one to go on my car. Though I stayed away from the ported cover as I am going to need the 18G to make all the power and response it can on my old RB20. I am very curious to see how the TD05H-18G stacks up against my TD06-20G that I am ripping off This is the exact one I bought http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280803976009#ht_2159wt_1270 I seriously need to wake up to myself. I now have a 3 spare turbos, 2 spare brake kits and 5 race seats for two cars

If you are after T2 flange buy the EFR that is for sale. Smaller wheels and makes the same power. Would eat a TD06 for response and make about the same power....and only wants $1400 with a good internal gate setup ready to bolt on

2012...when a pure drivers car/sports car is something with ABS, AWD Once upon a time the shopping list for a pure drivers car would have you in or

Interested in trying this on the little 2L Sierra. I have done a search for a some results in single forms and nothing. They are pretty small wheels but seem to be rated similar to a TD06...would they make 250rwkws at 20psi on a 2L ?

Good boy Mark! Started to get real excited about OZ GP now

I know, i know...But, meh, to me its all corn fuel...made for field cars that drive around paddocks dropping manure on the spinach to sell at market

Pump 98 is the answer to all yoru oil questions! Pfft to corn brew!

321H is better again due to the extra carbon and the toughness it gets. The whole warping thing is a bit off base. You need to consider thermal expansion and Stainless has a higher rate of thermanl expansion then some other materials, including mild steel. So the whole warping things is mostly a problem with the compromises you have to make due to space. If your manifold is designed to allow the manifold to grow with expansion then contract as it cools then they dont warp. If when they grow they pull due to no movement in the exhaust and inlet then when they cool they will cool to a different position and you people claim they have warped. Or as they heat the weight of the turbo and gate make the manifold want to sink in the engine bay then again tehy will cool in a different position. So support the weight of the turbo and a stainless manifold will be happy. So its normal for a manifold to expand when hot, the whole warping thing is to an extent inevitable due to something going from 20deg C to 900deg C but take some precautionary steps and they will be fine. If you look in the world of motorsport you do get some ideas for inlets on the V10s and V12s where more then 4 cylinders needed to be fed in a bank of cylinders. The big curve ball is they often run restrictors so manifolds are designed around maximising torque and before airflow limitation and driving like a big diesel truck My Cossie has plenty of aftermarket manifold options that have been forged from their days in the WRC

Well, this just strengthens my view that the guy will never be back in an F1 car http://www.planetf1.com/news/3213/7423895/Kubica-Breaks-His-Right-Leg-During-Fall

I think Williams signing Senna could be a good move. I think he woul probably come cheap if not bring money, is hungry and I think he proved he may actually have some talent worth fostering. I would never have said that 12 months ago but considering no testing, no seat time and new team...he did amazing (i dont think that is overstating it) job at Renault. He needs to clean up his racing but I think he will be doing the job required of him at Williams... Hopefully some of the re-structuring going on at Williams will mean the cars speed will get to a place where if a driver like Senna cant deliver the speed and results, then the team will be attractive enough to a gun to come have a steer.

Does the BOV include the 38mm adaptor to put it into a 38mm hose connection like connected to the bottom of this BOV

Yeh with a puny 8cm housing on my 18G it is smaller then my Greddy TD06 setup that I am retiring...but am curious to see if it makes more power then an RB20 2530 setup...but with the same if not better response then a 2530 setup. My TD06 is going off to get some fancy dildo spec alloy compressor so whilst its off being rebuilt will throw the 18G on and compare all 3 setups back to back over about a 2 week period. Greddy TD06-20G:8cm vs TD05H-18G:8cm vs TD06-73HTA. The claim is the new compressor on the 20G will give me T67 power with 20G response. Will see. If that claim proves wrong and with the new compressor comes extra lag then it may be interesting to throw in the T67-25G I have. Problem is trying to convince the tuner this will be interesting to him to see the merits of each turbo setup...otherwise I will be sinking 2k into tuning just out of curiousity In the back of my head I am curious to see what results the billet compressor gets as there are places in the US doign 68mm billet compressors for TD05H. That could work out to be a nice RB20setup, better response of TD05 but with 20G power

So I was going to go to a car audio specialist in Vic and get the work done but have decided I would roll up my sleeves and give it a go myself. The main reason I wanted the help of the experts was their assistance in piecing together a nice setup...but after a few poeple recently molesting my new car I would just rather do it myself. So peoples thoughts on these components: Deck: Pioneer DEH-8350SD http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/products/22/121/61/DEH-8350SD/index.html Amps: Either of the following 5 channel L5.1110 - http://www.soundstream.com/los/lil-wonder_amp.htm Kicker ZX700.5 http://www.kicker.com/ZX_Amplifiers Speakers: Front - Rockford T2652-S : http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.aspx?itemid=112907 If I get them out of the US they fall inside muy $350 budget. If I go local I am thinking T1S652 http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.aspx?itemid=112896 Rear - Rockford T1693 6x9s. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.aspx?itemid=112902 Subs - I am still trying to work out a good quality 12" pre-boxed sub that will fit in the rear of the car. Rather go with a proven boxed sub from its manufacturer, as going custom puts me back looking at talking to a shop to fabricate the box for me. The car is an 87 Sierra Cosworth so will be getting custom pods for the front kick panels and new tray in the hatch to support the weight of the new speakers and hide the sub. I want to avoid installing the front speakers in the doors as I dont want to cut up immaculate door trims on an old car. Is that going to affect the sound I can expect from a reasonable quality front split setup? Budget is around $1100 plus sub box + materials and bits for install.

Whats the difference between the TD05 and TD06? I wouldnt think there is enough wheel difference to make a difference. Is it because the TD05-18G you used was the T518Z rip off so has a different design housing? Well I just ordered my TD05H-18G. Be interesting to see if backed to back with the TD06-20G. I am hoping I still make 250rwkws and hopefully make at least 25rwkws more at 4,500rpm.

Of course they do. Not many cars out there can be driven flat knacker lap after lap and not many guys out there have a pit wall full of people looking at the live data to get on the blower and tell them to look at problems. The reason why logger shave info on them with common alarm lights it to let the pilot know when temps are getting too high from too many revs, following the car in front too closely. Diff or gearbox temps getting too high. Oil pressure dropping...it may only happen on the straights when they have a fleeting moment to look...but I am sure they are looking at data otherwise why wodl they spend all that money on the dashes

lol...203 yrs may be closer to the mark but was supposed to be 2-3

But she is crazy hot...though should never speak Williams seems to be going the way of Tyrrel I know they exist as a race team that owns everything so dont have some of the pressures of other teams in debt or with need for infrastructure....but they are going backwards and have not had a very good season since Heidfeld-Webber where they were at least hunting podiums and top 5 finishes. They look at looong way from there these days. I really hope they turn it around in 2012, but even thought Maldanado wasnt terrible and Rubens can still get the job done on his day...but they need momentum and that means a top level driver, and a 203 year plan to build engineering staff and pace

Those times still hold true for a fast GTR. Problem is there aren't any track only GTRs running around Vic...Most are fast street/track cars which are still 1-2 sec off the times you posted as full weight street cars on semis
