lol...patience. We just had a new draftie start so i lost my CAD licence on my laptop. Just waiting for the new licence so i can open the files and find which one it is :P Maybe i shoudl label files better then shit, good latest, fiddle, play etc etc ;)

u must be an Engineer :whistling:

No I was pretty much resigned to having to cough up for some 18" LM's or similar.

Just trying to figure out a way of buying some F50 callipers & matching them to some rotors without having to pay stupid money for Brembo rotors. It looks like Stoptech will work as well as Biot. I just need some calliper bracket drawings to make some progress. :whistling:

what about using 355mm GT-P discs from RDA / DBA? same pcd, but bigger studs and centre / hub hole. different offset but if you're making brackets anyway it doesn't matter unless the offset interferes with something. make up a few bushes and you're away.

Just as long as they are stamped "For information only" or "Not for construction" so no dumb arsed engineer goes & builds the things.... :blink:

how are they for cold braking on the street? there was someone further up in the post that had the g4 ones, done any cold braking tests?

i have personal driven the boss car and have had no problems with them when they are cold

It's an AP CP-5555 just with a different sticker arrangement to the standard ones you see. this is a 36mm caliper.

It's a custom hat and bracket done here by a guy in Melb, running AP 36mm x 355mm rotors (they were farkin expensive)

I was being silly. It doesnt really matter which way the slots are going provided the vanes of the rotor are going the right way. :)

Personally i prefer when the slots are the same direction as the vanes. this means centrifugal forces actually fling the pad material out of the slot rather then encourage the slots to get clogged up. Anal? Probably. Woudl it makes a difference? Probably not, especially since so many run the slots in the opposite direction to the vanes.

I want those front brakes mudafarker!

like you don't have enough sets of front brakes!!

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • 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.

    • 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.
