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.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
