That's the issue the rotor guys were complaining about, the S8's have better turbo's. gts-t series is the way to go

I'd do all the rallies if I had the cash, so it's looking pretty doubtfull at this stage. I compared your 09 times to our times, so you already have kicked my arse.

I hear emo 7's are the most expensive to rebuild RB20's are cheap, it's just a pita to change it during an event

Your never going to know without sticking a camera in there. But one of the circuit r32's down here has a greddy oil pressure gauge, and the warning light alwyas comes on under brakes. The other R32 down here that is quicker doesn't have a gauge, and that ran a bearing at the v8 supercar round last year, it was suspected it was under brakes. But we really don't know

As damo said, a dimond around the pickup is the go. This is a subie sump , but you get the idea. I think 1/2 the issue with the std sump, is the front is at 45deg. so under braking it acts like a ramp, and not a wall.

yeah the oil that was ment to be in the sump was in the head, catch can, and all over the engine bay. std rb20 pump. i'll block one off, and run a 1.25mm in the front as per garys guide.

or get Splitfires from Nengun for $540 delivered

i'd like to see a choice of V8, V10, and V12 like there was in the 90's

time to go back to sliding skirts, and super basic wings (no vortec generators..etc)

yeah, so there's 1/2 my problem.

I think DRS would be better used all over the track, instead of a spectator area. It would add the the driver skill, as people would try to open the flap sooner than the next bloke. It's not new tech, they used it in the 60's

what thickness oil do you run? I was using Motul 8100 5w-40, but i'm going to goto 25w60. Neither engine was compression tested or leak down tested. The N1 never has this issue, even with 25psi and a big nitto pump.

had 263rwkw at the start of the week, 200 - 220rwkw on the new engine (depending on the heat of the engine), then take 5psi of boost off from day 4 onwoods...180kwrw?? E85 did give it a good kick in the pants though. I only tuned the 98ron map on the road, so I don't have a power figure for it.

to 8000 cause it's still making power there. What boost do you run? on 17-18psi mine was fine, but once I added the extra for the E85 it started pumping it out.

Richard your being an enabler! Can you go and sell some crack to some teens instead?

na, still hydro lifters. Only reason I can see a need for solid lifters would be for bigger cams. But I can't see why you'd ever put bigger cams on a 20, as they came over cammed from the factory. boost and revs=full catch can. There is a guy down here who circuit races a std RB20, and he won't rev past 6500 with the same boost as me (23psi) because he fills the catch can. The amount of oil that is coming out can't be fixed with catch tank tricks. And for the $30-$40 it's going to cost I thought I might as do it. I'm using SydneyKids specs.

I thought they were going to CA16's

what about evo wheels? pretty sure they are 18x8, you would just need a spacer to fix the homo offset they run

na just a good gated sump from asr. i'm not overly thrilled about the extra weight from the extra 2l of oil, so the idea of all the extra weight for 12l of oil and the lines and shit for a dry sump don't make it a good sell..... and i'm being a giant jew. Funds is the only thing that is stopping it from going again. I've got the new bottom end there ready to go, just need a bash some restrictors in it, and buy a sump.

only real cars get kicked off for being too loud.

back to work on the car. Engine is now out, and almost ready to go back into Damo's car. Engine bay pretty dirty after 5 days of racing Just some of the bearing I found And the culprate

apparently there was some sandy v's higher up in the cat 7 camp about it.

Put me down

Does anyone know why the series 8 RX7's were put in catagory 7? According to the RX7 guru's the series 8's are a bit better than the SP, 6, and 7.
