Had a quick look at RB26 results: try this

18psi with high flowed steel wheels = 280 odd kws

18psi with -5s = 316kws .........

Only had a quick look - maybe there are others making more power on high flow steel wheels?? Post em up if you find them.....

334kw at 1.1 bar and pretty safe AFR's........with -5's stock cams & internals

A little more boost would've seen 350/360kw easy.

yeh its all internal man that why im getting mine hi-flowed atm

Hi flo is the way to go atm. Too much police attention otherwise.

Had a funny time last night with a handful of cops. At a breatho, and the cop had to ask about my bike, then more cops come over and for 5 minutes I'm talking to 4 cops about how fast my bike is :3some: I did ask "is this you as a cop asking or you personally asking?". Cop was right into bikes and would have talked all night. Had I been in the Stagea however .......

Yeah I think that'd be ideal, but do u know any place that can hiflow and steel wheel some stock 32's for the same price as some new garrett 2860's ? ;\ I wish I knew of such a place.... street legal ftw

(Tho having said that I'm really hanging out for nationalisation of the vehicle standards scheme)

cost come into die grinding out your internals Ben its not just a matter of changing the center cartridge and put steel wheels in and away you go there is a lot of work involved

i forget what thread it was now but someone asked if there was any visual difference and yes there is, wont go into details for obvious reasons

But $1250 ea is still uber expensive.... 15 hours of work at $80 per hour... does it seriously take that long?

-D

Yeah, I honestly think hi-flow or not, they will ping you regardless. I've seen a hi-flow and standard turbo off in my hands and I can definately tell what's what. As Steve said, not going into details but they are there.

It's not only the labour, it's the cost of the new cartridge and wheels also :3some:

SO

my engine seems to be f**kED :down:

has basically no low end power , shoots carbon water , missfires like a bitch , radiator fluid has particles of crap in it

seems to me its blown a head gasket though it doesnt blow bubbles through radiator when thermostat has heated up ??

its shitting me to tears , any clue's as to what would be causing this ??

have u also checked under the oil cap?

the head gasket might be flowing water into the oil

if that looks like iced coffee = BHG.

know this all to well from blownig a few 7m's in my old cressy (they dont seem to like high compression)

Yeah Mitch sounds like a head gasket, I'd put money on it.

yeah thats what im thinking ,

gotta love being unemployed with no money :down:

these peoples seem to think its bearings

Shopping list has now been removed..... now for the rest of the de-ricing. :down:

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
