nuthin yet, i drove by after work and its strapped to the dyno but he wasnt there. too busy to get exited atm so its probably a good thing. if i was sitting at home waiting for it i would be tying myself in knots.

Hoping for a result tomorrow tho.

better call me as soon as u hear the result

side note: rang michael this arvo, he was with the car getting it tuned, it'd already pulled 587bhp on 24psi, they hadnt even touched the cams yet or setup the boost controller lol. he also said it was making 20psi @ 4000rpm, and full boost by 4200rpm. all hail the rb30 :)

Info I got from george is 597 hp, boost at 4400 and the tuner hasnt touched the cams, still on zero.. WTF!

Surely there has to be more in there somewhere. For a track car i would thing they would be looking to bring the boost on a bit sooner. Methinx that engine is going to need some time on the rollers to unlock its full potential.

shane was talking about our car which started getting tuned yesterday arvo at mercury.

*removed the details* Safe to say big power!

I never thought i would say this, but i dont think i want anymore power now, maybe just abit more response if that can be achieved with the cams :) 4 straps on the dyno just to keep it from wheelspinning, it was pretty scary and insane to watch it kick sideways on the rollers constantly.

sorry to hijack your thread noel, so hows your beast coming along? Anyword?

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
