I assume you fit a lock bar? If so I believe the only thing left to do is get a wheel alignment and all should be good

It does feel a lot different, but near the limits it is much more predictable. I would definitely leave it as it is

Here's how I locked it and have had no problems with it since, and this includes a lot of track work.

I'm really looking into getting a hicas lock bar aswell, i'm just having trouble finding decent information about how differnt it is to the hicas unit in your car and how exactly it will effect your car. Can anyone clarify this cos i'm getting more and more confused reading everyone's posts about Hicas.

Did you put a lock bar on it? Or just leave it all hanging there? I haven't looked into this yet as I don't mind my HICAS but if you remove the relevant parts don't the wheels need to be locked in place?

Who is using your computer Abo Bob? Was that a joke?

I've had mine replaced, it one of the very good value mods I've done. Makes the car much better to drive. Check the installation and the wheel allignment specs.

Really? How did it effect your car? Did it just change the way the car handled in general...?

When u are at the track is when u notice its better , my car use to feel nervous at speed now it feels solid.

If u started to slide the car into the corner u would feel a little movement in the ass than instead of heading for the apex the car would understeer and start head for the outside of the corner u would have to grab it then u could get bad oversteer , now i can cut a nice smooth arc through the corner with just a nice little bit of oversteer.

He has some stuff going on personally so he's not making them at the moment.. If you're after a 32 bar maybe ask him in case he's got some left.

He's actually manufacturing them out of his own time, and he said that he wont be making more until a bit later in the year!

One other product that people have mentioned is the Tomei kit: http://www.nengun.com/tomei/hicas-lock

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.

      First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
