Hey Guys, just got the heads up that Extreme Horsepower promotions has been sold to Geof (former owner of EMTECH automotive).

This means the Extreme Horsepower Show is in for some BIG changes!! There is a new show coming to Adelaide real soon... in fact its scheduled for December 8/9 .

This will be held at wayville showgrounds and is open to ALL categories, such as high-tech, imports, hot rods, bikes, muscle, euro ... you name it.

Judging will be done by the ENTRANTS! .. Each entrant gets a sheet and can score every vehicle on show.(Not just one or two biased pricks that only like monaros!)

Cost is $60 per car includes two tickets and BBQ. Entrants also get FREE DYNO!!

Club displays are limited to six cars only.... so who is keen??

This should be great... now we won't be snubbed for having late model cars and will be elligible for plenty of award categories!!

Contact Shane on 0411475779 or Geof on 0410356356

Extreme Horsepower, South Australia's Ultimate Automotive Expo.

Thanks for the post Hostile, you got most of it correct, confirmed Wayville Showgrounds date of Dec 8 & 9 2007 today, judging by entrants & prizes for that too - no bias, the best car will win, free dyno - is there a Skyline with more power than some of the V8s - I reckon there are. Yes, I want the Hi Tech cars there too, in the past it was more of a V8 show - that is changing.

I am trying to limit the clubs to 6 cars as the public want to see the best a club has to offer. Would you pay $15 to see a car with some mags & window tint? If anybody has any ideas of what they want to see in a show please let me know, I'm commited to making it a good event. Did you know it's the only SA owned carshow at Wayville.

Looking forward to receiving your input.

Cheers

club entrants only 6 aloud? dats abit gay though?

Well not really... how interesting would it be looking at 25 nearly stock commodores? This has been done to keep the quality up. Pick six quality cars to represent the club instead, however Geof may be open to negotiate here??

Oh, have updated first post... entry is $60 not $50 as previously stated.

Sounds like some good changes. Entrant judging will definitely put a new spin on things.

Is the show still going to be called "extreme horsepower"?

If so, them IMO I don't care how good a car looks - if it has a stock engine it doesn't belong there.

As both Geof Hostile said, I do get sick of seeing 20 cars at a show that have a set of wheels, lowered with tinted windows at a car show (and paying for the priviledge) - you see thet on the street every day.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
