And then you fell over

http://www.poopy.org/v/pete/album/ There are the pics. James, your massages HURT But you feel okay afterwards

I still want one of these.

http://www.poopy.org/v/pete/nova/ I didn't win the Prem. But I did get drunk.

Yep, there is individual cylinder trim on the PFC. Mine is set to give a little more fuel to cylinder 6 as it's a problem even on stock plenums. I have a 2% variance between 1 and 6 and a nice slope in between.

i'm in

Gemma and I had a ball. we got drink. Pics to come

You don't need too. I did becuase I took my calipers off to change pads. I didn't spray the back of the rears though as they stayed on.

I was hoping you were going to post some photos. Man it was a big day!

Hey Guys. Update: Just went to see how they were going at the bending place. Turns out their machine has been playing up all week and they haven't had a chance to get to it. On the way there, I saw another place that I will get to quote the work as they can do everything from the start to the finish, including supplying material, cutting it, bending it and coating it. I've been trying to get it done at individual places but obviously it's turning into a nightmare. I'll will send the GTS-T Series II and Stag Series II drawings to these guys and see what it comes back like complete. I'm hoping that it will be near enough to taking it to three different places. So, I should know by Monday or Tuesday about the new place and by the same time I expect to have the guides which have already been cut, bent. Okay, have a great weekend ppls. I'll update as soon as I know. PS. I've learnt some valuable lessons from this group buy which I will keep with me always. Especially for any further group buys. BASS OUT

Doesn't more air = leaner and less air = richer? so having less air at cylinder 6 would mean more fuel to air ratio..... Using that example, there is much more air going into 3 and 4 on the stock plenum?

Oh yeah, and the turbo doesn't make any more power at 14 psi than it does at 12 psi as its out of it's efficiency up top. You'll make a little bit more in the mid range, but you'll overspeed the turbo and it's a recipe for busting it.

When I was making 200 I had FMIC, Dump pipe back exhaust (not turbo back) Power FC, PFC Boost kit, and that's about it. The roughness of the tune will be a combination of AFR and Timing. That's basically what a tune is. How much fuel, and how much timing at different load points. Load points are supplied by the MAF sensor. The AFR is rough as guts and I reckon the ignition timing is going to be all over the place. Here's what I'd do. Go into your PFC hand controller and write down the ignition timing and fuel map. So get an Excel spreadsheet and put 1 thru 20 on the top and 1 thru 20 down the side. Going in the ingition timing map and write it down number for number. Same with Fuel. Then punch those numbers into the spreadsheet and graph it 3D. the progressions and gaps between numbers should be smooth and clean. Not big jumps up and then down. Try it out. You'll learn a lot about tune maps.

Remember your diff is about 4.11:1 hence, massively inflated torque. Drop boost a little. I made 200rwkw on 11 psi and you've seen my graph, it's nice. the boost is dropping off because your turbo aint got no more to give.

G-Force. Normally on a dyno graph you are interested in four things. Power either kW or hP at the wheels Torque either ft/lbs or nm at the wheels Boost in either PSI or Bar AFR only in Air : Fuel don't worry too much about the numbers of the torque as you have to remember that you are going through a gearbox and rear diff which changes the ratio and stuff of the torque. It's only a measure, not really an exact number, and at the end of the day, Power is simply a measure of Torque over time. Bass Out

I once copped Adam "Newton Meter" Newton a ripper with the super hot death sauce at Taco Bills. I laughed. He didn't !! Looks like we have a chilli appreciation thread coming along here. You will all have to come to the Chilli festival early next year and trial some mind blowing chillis at the Red Back Chilli Company.

He may make an appearance :S

There will be drunkeness There will be wine spilt There will be falling over There will be embarrasment There will be much fun had This is not to be missed

I once eat a Savina raw and chewed all the seeds at a Chilli Festival. It hurt. Lots. They guy who won ate 13. I feared for his bottom.

Grape Grazing Festival Yarra Valley, Sat 17th & Sun 18th Feb 2007 Keep the Sunday free, get the Monday off work. Last year was a big SAU event. I expect this year to be even bigger. That is all BASS OUT

Ill neck a whole tube. That stuff aint hot!

Chilli Health: Chillis are loaded with vitamin A, a potent antioxidant and boost to the immune system. As the pods mature and darken, high quantities of vitamin C are gradually replaced with beta carotene and the capsaicin levels are at their highest. Due to these capsaicin levels, some believe that eating chillis may have an extra thermic affect, temporarily speeding up the metabolic rate, hence burning off calories at a faster rate. Whatever, you certainly do sweat and actually cool down in hot climates as sweat evaporates. Your nose runs, your head clears ... you can breath! And with that extra flow of saliva, the gastric juices also flow. The alkaloids from the capsaicin stimulate the action of stomach and intestine improving the whole digestion process! Beyond soothing gastric wonders and taste delights, the very nature of fiery capsaicin has been medicinally beneficial down through the ages and put to use for some chronic health woes. These same heat inducing properties have a cumulative effect and over time are believed to alleviate pain when used in transdermal treatments for arthritis, nerve disorders (neuralgia), shingles and severe burns ... even cluster headaches. The mucus thinning properties promote coughing and can act as an expectorant for asthmatic conditions. Other claims are boosts to the immune system due to the antioxidants, lowering cholesterol, and blood thinning properties beneficial for the heart and blood vessels.

I'll be there. They do have some food with chilli in it don't they?

Still gathering dust. Negotiable.
