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?

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
