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?

    • 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
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
