  1. Now theres an excuse for losing i haven't heard yet..... Mind if i borrow it
  2. Ok i tried this and they actually have blue and black hose but its not glossy its a matt colour, very stealth in black..Which is cool..And pretty cheap On the corner of stud and canterbury rds mate next to TTF kinda...They have other stores around too..
  3. just spotted this in me travels.. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2007-Holden-Special...=item3a5ef89cf1
  4. hell i might even take my pile o junk down...
  5. just go to the shop drive them both and buy whichever you like most... They are both as good/bad as each other so its the drive that counts, forget about the rest
  6. So what you trying to say here is the engine dyno gave the same results as the dynapack? Or are you just flexing your e-wang ya show off......
  7. Ahh k..yeah it was unlikely it would cause a 20kw difference anyway, just found it odd.. Could it be your WG isnt closing properly??
  8. I have the pipe made up out of pipes from cooler kiit, but it was for a pipe that runs across top of the engine and i wanted it to look schmik,no welds,..but not at that price Lucky for me scotty is nearby and welded up the rest of my intercooler pipe madness , did a damn fine job too, but unfortunately i lost my phone with pics on it and its all painted up and hidden now...so i cant show ya..
  9. Harey mate why are the diff ratios different on the new sheet??
  10. so because dynos are really only showing tractive effort and there alot of variables here making these figures somewhat misleading..Would probably explain why people are mainly hung up on power figures, cause few wheel dynos can actually give acurate readings..and even fewer people actually get their engine dynoed... I used to have a v8 commy, my mate had a n/a13b mazda, driving in either of these you soon learn the difference between power and torque...well so i thought ..
  11. so lower diff gears for eg, would show as extra torque on a dyno graph??
  12. yeah i know my problems are due to crappy turbo selection, i could buy cams and all that, or just get a better turbo would solve all these problems..Ethanol will also help a little when i get around to it. I was only speaking hypothetically really . In which case you agreed with me, more cubes is the answer to a longer stronger curve. For now im quite happy with my 4k kick..Could always be better though... PS.. variable length intake runners ??
  13. yeah just looking at the pic it is a weird one, also noticed the date, and last i spoke to you i think you were already holding 20psi so guess i should get with the times hey...
  14. sounds like a leak somewhere maybe...i had weird problems kinda like this then found out my turbo bolts had rattled loose...i did them up with my finger and it improved it..
  15. Cant you modify a stronger actuator to fit?
  16. Agreed..they're pretty good But lets say i was happy with the power i had but wanted to flatten the curve, now i could fit cams which would allow it breathe/expel more air but this would change uniformly across the rev range . I could change my ex housing but this would lessen response. Ditto for the comp housing. Displacement maybe be the only answer then?
  17. Wonder if we can get some 3076 graphs just for kicks... Seeing as the 3076/3071 debate seems as alive as the 3071/HG debate..And with his new turb putting out 320+ i think its kinda relevant... Personally i feel a 3076 should be EG (so is in another class really) but im sure many would beg to differ..
  18. So what are tricks to hold torque then? For instance, i make about 420ish just after 4k pretty much just after full boost has kicked on then drops to 300 by redline ..Now obviously 2psi drop off in boost wouldn,t help this.. But why does torque drop when power keeps building?
  19. exactly what i wish was in my garage I hate you so much right now.... only cause im jealous..
  20. Thanks.. Itis exactly ther point i was trying to make 6 months a go in a different thread where everybody was telling this guy to get the xr6t but i reckon the GT was a better buy, it may not be able to make as much power easily, it may not be as quick at the lights and it may not leave big black skidmarks as effortlessly .. But as an all round drive i think it is a better balanced more spirited car..But most people dont drive their car on the limit that much and are simply content doin burnouts, draggging at the lights and measuring their e-wang by the kws they have, and i can understand this is where the xr6t has its place Personally I'd like a nice balanced car that i can punch out of a corner without 15 tonne of torque breaking traction and my driveline..I also prefer something lighter which is why i have a skoiline...Would actually prefer a 200sx but close enough
  21. so hypothetically, if we got the same car set up for drag, we get 2 engine both with the same 650hp output but the 6T has alot more low down torque, first we did runs with the v8 supercar engine,then did runs with the 6T engine, do you think the 6T would be faster? It thinking both would be pulling maybe mid 10s in a 1500kg+ falcon
  22. so i guess electric motors would be the best then?
