Seems to have some grunt at the end though. Definitely not stock!!

is that cuase the turbo taking the footage inst boosting it too keep up cause ive had a little squirt with 1 of these and it had a mod chip and a zaust and well he came of 2nd best by heaps

yeah monaros :D are hell slow!! altho 300kw gto might cook :D

all commodore fags say, "its been chipped" ... wankers :D

sorry by 1 of these i ment commodoor it wasnt the monaro it was a VX ss ... he also didnt want to tell hte the KW reading claiming he hadnt had it dyno'd

which me and my mechanic talked and said if u spent that much on chip and exhaust its definatly been on a dyno

ummm...correct me if I'm wrong, but the reason that commodore owners say "it's been chipped" is in reference to the Delco ECU's used in all the 3.8L V6 motors, where tuning is done by replacing a memory chip (memcal).

Not to be picky, but "it's been chipped" is a pretty darn accurate decription...

then again thats before LS1Edit came out, and people started tuning gen3's, which don't use a memcal

Yeah, can't really agree there either. The LS1 is an absolute animal of an engine, but in a different way so are the RB engines.. so don't take that as the signal to start yet another brickwall debate about the two. Madaz you said it's torque isn't too bad, but actually its the other way around.. at release the ls1 was heavily criticised for it's lack of torque and the way its power grew with revs.. so imagine when you accentuate that effect with a cam!!!

As for the sound of the car, personally I think it is the shithouse low-frequency response of the video camera's microphone that makes the v8 sound not too great.. I bet if you heard that in real life, it would be easy to appreciate. Also, as for monaro's being slow, this particular one obviously has a decent cam which can be heard from it struggling to idle... LS1's get bloody huge power figures from just a cam and the usual supporting mods.

(Please RB lovers, don't perceive this as an attack on jap motors, but it's the truth... a half-decently built 5.7L better make some power!!!!)

when i said about torque im going by a car i know nothing about for all i know it had a cam for all i know it may have gone like a bat out of hell with a better cam

i did complement him on his choice of exhause it sounded very crispy and had that down rev burble :D

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
