haha I did Ray I did! :pirate:

But I was hungry... :blink:

I was suffering axel tramp so bad, best was 2.3 (my best ever when standard springs/shocks/clutch was 1.9) I even slipped the clutch out on one run as carefully as possible, and as it came out, went up in axel tramp again as I got onthe gas, so was on and off trying to control it (excuses excuses... :) )

tyres - dunlop sp9000 - 225/50/16 (brand new)

pressure was around 22psi

Yeah was good meeting you to Chris, always nice to put names to faces .havn't looked to see where the oil was leaking from as yet but wasn't leaking when I got home and oil pressure was still good so bit of a mystery but I'll find it and be out there again to get that pb.Was happy with my first run of 12.5 though after so long.Putting pineapples in fixed my axle tramp problem in the drag position

Axle tramp bad ,it's where your tyre's bounce up and down when you launch it of the line and feels like the car is falling apart,you either have to power through it, which is hard to do as first instinct is to back off or back of and give it to it again either way you loose time

Axel tramp....heard this expression before but can someone explain it?

Chris what time did u end up getting?

your wheels are turning at different speeds cause it to do what leg said... just power through it! Mine used to do it too... didn't do anything to fix it, it just sorted itself out!

Oil Problem found, pumping oil out the rockers into the air box never had a problem with the old standard oil pump but the N1 pump must be pumping a lot more oil around the engine .Only loseing oil on the low side breather not the high side so will have to put a restrictor in that side

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
