Big twins is proven for both drag and track I guess thats the appeal I always liked, Endless use that configuration for their track cars and as do a lot of companies use them for drag cars (and they run consistently good times) I suppose 2835's are probably more suited to track work though. Depends on how much your going to build the engine as well, I suppose. Turbo configuration will always depend on the engine its going onto.

yeah, ive got to investigate on the turbo side of thigns more, caus when i chose the turbos, i can then chose what type of headwork is going to be done. also the bottom end is fresh, and the oiling has been modified to suit, also the sump's been modified, so basically all that's left is the trubos and headwork

2.7, got lag? :ninja:

2.7 track car Endless style with no budget, Id say it wasnt exceptionally laggy otherwise it would have been useless around a circuit. I did have a dyno on it but I lost it ages ago....im just looking through random old pics being teased by the power that is oh so far away from what I have atm.

jason im sure many are aware of your gripe with mercury, and yes i can sympathise with you, i have had minor problems with them in the past, and yes, this time i didn't get the perfect treatment or results i wanted either, but overall im satisfied with the work they have done.

but i dont think they exceeded their quote by an unreasonable amount and all the extra work they rang me about bar the gfb valve as i just said before.

I'm happy with how the car is going this far, and although its easy to say the tune 'could be better' but it could also be worse too. And i was very specific in my instructions to go for a very conservative reliable tune so that should be kept in mind.

anyway, i'm going to bed, have to be up at 4:30 for work in the morning.

I'm going to stop bleating on about Mercury, if people want to go there, and use them, then go for it. Make up your own mind about them, they might have picked their game up a bit and might be all right now... who knows....

i certainly won't, as i won't be going back to them ever again...

g'nite all

havnt decided yet...i know i want 7-800hp, but not sure if i want big sinlge or twins & if i want it for track or drag. i've got a set of brand spankin R34 N1's ready to go on, so that'll give it a bit of a boot to help me decide

i can second that :)

I think something simliar went on that crazy one that JHH did a while ago. Id think the only reason you would change the turbos is just to bring it on boost later if you start getting neck pains :ninja:

ive heard snippets about that car dave, and from what ive heard its a monster! id ask john, but he doesnt like to give advice on turbo's and that, which is a pain :ninja:

and good morning everyone :ninja:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
