I think circuit motor/drag/dyno motor lives are all totally different bags to compare.

Especially when one is being used for 10-15mins at a time as opposed to 10 seconds, there is a lot more 'refinement' if you will in a circuit motor.

Thats just my view personally.

If i was having a motor made for a car i intended to circuit, i would use those people who have thier own cars/customer cars out there on a regular basis.

I also guess what the workshop offers aswell. Suspension/brake/drivetrain advice also is a bonus, same for the Campbelfield boys, they know thier RWD Drag rear ends very well as they have played with them for years.

But you cant expect the knowledge to be applied to circuit and vice versa as small differences can return large gains.

The only catch is when they confirm that my motor is a $600 wrecker motor from EKW...they have to shout me a select group of mates a night on the piss, and maybe the strippers :)

HAHAHAH, and not VB from the shepperton strippers.........Johnny Blue from Spearmint & Rhino :huh:

man I'm jealous of that RB20 Roy, blow it up, head to the wreckers, couple of days later your back on the road... keep the tuning spot on, don't run it too hot and bobs your uncle... sure you might miss the extra .5L when putting around town but its a small price to pay and when its on boost it flies

if I had my time again I would have gone down the 32/rb20 path... I was even seriously considering buying your car when you had it for sale a couple of years ago... should have it was good value

It isnt good value. Just like if i sold it now you could easily spend 15k on it just gettign it up to scratch :) Friggin cars. teh best track car is a strd car with suspension and some breathing mods. The quicker you want to go the less you get to drive it and the less rewarding the driving is :laugh: Now i see the error of my ways :O

i would check your 'source' that's a $800 motor in there...

Might wanna check your source mate. Joking, just thought id be a little bitch. Or is roy under quoting his motor to hide the specs further!?! CONTROVERSY! hahaha

2ndly IT WAS A JOKE PEOPLE hence the lol and smiley at the end, I KNOW its stock. Though i may not comment on roys car much or actually know him, I have read many of his posts and conversations on here regarding his engine and turbo setup (stalk much?) as like I previously mentioned, I was looking into a td06 20g also for my car instead of the 3037.

When the guy said your engine wasn't stock, it wasn't in accusation, but more in admiration as he simply couldn't believe the power it was making as well as the response. This is the thing I hate about email/internet, you can never actually interpret the tone of what somebody is saying properly. Reminds me of the Hamish and Andy show the other week when they were talking about angry office memos that don't get their intended tone across and just end up being funny.

That still doesn't mean i am wrong :worship:

The original PANIC had one N, i could post full details at a later date if you want.

Please post some more details and as for your self can you build a motor,if you really want the truth the guy at safeway built the motor in pannic (OK),the transmission was built by the lady at the bp petrol station down the road,My daughters kinda garden teacher painted the car,and my great great grand father did all the dyno tuning.

I hope that answer;s all your question;s retard now i think since you have been told ,its time for you now to have your bottle,put your nappies on and get mummy to tuck you into bed,now dont cry or you will get a smack. ;)

easy john, easy..

i think people say "someone else built it" is because things have been said on ct that eddy rajab built the motor in pannic.. also miles has been at jpc before you started on it and u have owned it..

but i have worked with you before.. and you know very well how long i was locked in that boot!!!.. but in all seriousness i know you have built that motor and many others to date..

well I know who to call next time then... any turbo efi motor is plenty of work to take out, but 2 hours solo is damn quick, does that include stripping it?

na i did an engine change over..

That was engine alone it took me 2 hrs with me n 2 workmates doing it.. took me 20mins to have the gearbox out and tailshaft and exhaust.. but you can see its not hard, you just need the right tools and knowledge..

whats with everyone and having their own workshop "claims" when it comes to high powered record holding street cars? i mean seriously who gives a f**k...

I didnt post those figures on page 1 to start a shit fight, i posted them to give an example of what level John Bresciani and Rob Iloski are on, they are the top when it comes to this tough high powered engines that last, no matter what their used for.

Never claimed to have built an engine John.

I'll let you sort out the details with the original owner, that's if you are on speaking terms :worship:. Your reaction has just justified what i have claimed; anyone that throws a hissy fit that quickly really wants to hide something.

John here's a tip champ: grow up, it helps in life ;)

No stress...i dont take anyting too seriously. But i wouldnt knowingly steer someone into financial heart ache by bullshitting about my engine being stock when its not.

LOL...as soon as drag racing is intrduced into discussions, conversations always become heated. LOL, i think thats where it gets ifs brag racing tag from :)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
