'proper' plugs picked up yesterday ;-) Was the last set in the gong....ever. Tuning? Oh, you mean power runs... okay Adrian

Jeeeezz!!! And WE'RE the ones that have missed the point?!?!?! I think you missed the reading comprehension boat!!! I would refer you to my earlier post (and a highly technical and calculated one at that) "More Oxygen gets into the combustion chamber - allows you to burn more fuel - unleashes more energy - car goes faster." Umm.... I am at a massive loss to work out how you missed the whole point. And as for the world being flat bs, stick it up ya burette. Adrian

Andrew, show me your fingernails NOW! Adrian

Holley (NOS), ZEX, Robbie Madden @ OzRace and just about every other performance workshop I have ever heard mention it disagree with you. To say that any cooling effect would be lost implies that there is one to begin with. Are you implying that there is a cooling effect that occurs but it doesn't cool anything? Or are you saying that it would be negligible? I'm sorry mate but going by what you and others have said, the ideal would be injecting JUST oxygen into the combustion process. It's been tried before. In fact, the motor probably would've melted through the floor if it hadn't already popped the head off from the heat/cyl pressure. Backwards logic or poor choice of words on your part. Please enlighten me if I am wrong. Adrian

Nick, I STRONGLY suggest you re-read the very first post, in particular the passage, "This is an excercise in dispelling the myths and extolling the performance vitues of power adders other than turbos." There is no secret on this or any other forum about the fact that I now use Nitrous Oxide in my car. Maybe the thread makes sense to you now? Adrian

Dunno where you got that idea from. Robo's, that's a really great time you've got so far, mate. What tyres are ya using? It's a whole tenth better than what I could manage on more power! Adrian

Why don't you PM Buster on this forum and ask him? Adrian

A what-now? Condolences to family and friends. Dundan know anything about this? Adrian

HEY! Dumb it down for the little people, Mr. Chemist! More Oxygen gets into the combustion chamber - allows you to burn more fuel - unleashes more energy - car goes faster. Right? Jeez... Adrian

So 12.9 then? Anyone else? Adrian

The "Search" button is your very best friend re: this subject. Adrian

I would really like conformation on the following: What is the quickest ET / MPH that an R32/R33/R34 GTS-T/GTT has run with the std turbo intact and untouched? I am looking for responses that refer to actual events and people/cars as opposed to imaginary, "I think Johnno's car duz 11's duzn't it?!?!?" type of :bs!: Obviously, I don't want times for high-flowed/non-ceramic-wheeled turbos either. This is an excercise in dispelling the myths and extolling the performance vitues of power adders other than turbos. Thanks in advance for any and all responses to the above question. Adrian

I would really like conformation on this. What is the quickest ET / MPH that an R32/R33/R34 GTS-T/GTT has run with the std turbo intact and untouched? Will also start a new post in General Auto asking the same question. Adrian

Are you using the e-boost, B-Man? I thought they were supposed to be the most, 'un-spiking-est' of ebc's? (A-Man technical speak there ) Peaks to 23psi then trails to 21psi 1500rpm later? Weren't Turbosmart claiming almost 0 spiking with this device @ SEMA? If you're not using the e-boost then i am way off... but i thought you were... Adrian

I have an idea Adrian

Since when have the NSWPF given a sh1t about logic? Oh and Stamp Duty is typically 3%. Adrian

cameron, check www.2rismo.com for a list of modifications enricco, it's a wet kit. Fuel + N20 Adrian

If consistency is the issue, I would challenge you to look at the two times alone that were run AFTER the nitrous/over-rich condition was fixed. 13.0 @ 115.15mph 13.1 @ 115.56mph Within a tenth of each other and also within half of one mph. The 3 runs before that were revving only to 6krpm as the car was over-fuelling and turning into a slug (as evidenced by the massive black smoke plumes the car expelled just before every gear change.) The car felt GREAT on the last two passes of the day....A different car that freely revved to a peak of 7298 rpm with gear changes coming within 100 rpm of this each time. Boost was stable and even for the majority of the run and the car suffered none of it's previous bogging up top as the fuel prob was fixed with correct jetting. Ther point is this. Every time I run the car, I am aiming to get the absolute most out of it for that run. I don't care if i have a bad launch cos something about the WHOLE run could tell me something I didnt know before. I'm gonna come out and say it that I beleive a low 12 is possible in my car with Radial tyres - RIGHT NOW. Tell me why I should aim for 12.7 when 100 years of drag racing maths and some common sense tells me otherwise?!?!? Tell me why I should be dissapointed with running 14.0 in a stuffed-up run on the way to getting there?!?!?! As a point of interest, after 4 meets and about 15-20 different runs, I am YET to have a day or night at the track where the car runs more than 0.5sec +/- different for the session. I'm sorry mate but it just doesn't make sense to me to aim for the mud when there's so much better there waiting. Adrian

I agree but why no go all out on one pass and then repeat that for consistency? Just had a thought.... What's the quickest that ANYONE has gone on a std turbo'd (non-hi-flowed, ceramic wheeled etc) GTS-T??? Sh1tty sh1tty sh1tty Pirelli semi-slicks that had gone off. They're really designed to run @ 48psi and go round and round tracks not straight up for 400m. BF's coming (fingers crossed for Jamboree in March). Kit is a butchered and bastardised mess. 3 different Nitrous companies' products involved. (NOS, OzRace and ZEX) as well as the ancillaries like F.P.Reg, lines, fittings etc. Couldn't really give you an idea of price on that but a full kit with bottle shouldn't cost you more than 1300 bux. NOS, ZEX, OzNos are all about that. In short, I have everything crossed to go into deep-twelve-country by just changing tyres and switching the gas on from the launch instead of from 2nd gear. Adrian

ROFL... benm, you're spot on. Terminal Speed REALLY interested me too!!! Adrian

BCPR7ES-11 Re-Gapped to 0.8mm. The best $2.60/plug you'll ever get. Adrian

Link fixed. Adrian

Yes go to 7's right now and gap them to 0.8mm Adrian

Whatisit? Adrian.

Sh1t Sh1t Sh1t... Will fix tonite, then check again! Adrian
