whats everyone up to today?

Work ... and lots of it. :P

Both my admin assistants are off today, so I'm in the office alone.

yeah keep me in mind in 5yrs time if you part with it.

always wanted a v-twin, and the TLR would suit me nicely

mind you, an rsvr aprilia Mille or honda sp1/sp2 would be interesting as well

The Mille is still too pricey imo. And I've ridden an SP2 ... you won't like the cramped riding style and the frame flex under abuse. Brakes are good tho. But I've got Brembos on the TLR now which are far better.

well considering i found out i was lied to about the rear wheel power figures with the 850hp blower, the other two options were to a) go to a 1200hp blower which would cost me $4500 on its on (then on top of that would need belts, etc) or b) go turbo

now as much as i dont want too :P

im seriously considering the T51R as my turbo of choice, it has also been recommended to me by Sam at Chris Milton Engines, ill be going with the 1000hp one, which also means going RB30 bottom end, (dont have a choice).

but at least i know ill definetly be able to make my minimum power of 500rwkw :P aqnd if i wanna driver her on the street, i can just put her on low boost :D kinda works out good i think lol

and :) to you to dave :P

hahaha join me for lunch?

i cant believe that i will be staying here tonight as well......and i thought Naracoote was bad enough sheesh

ahh well

there, there,

there, there krishy. youll be fine ;)

how many people did it take to convince you that the power output you were expecting was simply too much for the supercharger you were going for?

why the hell you need 500rkw in a state that doesnt have a drag strip is still beyond me though.

wait, i forget, isnt sam the one who said *insert stupid power figure here* was achievable on that tiny little supercharger too?

bah, sad panda spec, another 2 days until i get the 200 back on the road. :D

i dont intend to drag her dave, im not building for that reason.

and sam wasnt the one who said about the power figure, the dude at capa was. he originally said i could get 500rwkw, then when i re questioned him about it, he has said 300rwkw.

look im happy to spend the money i will be spending on my engine to be built, but by hell, i will not let a engine that is capable of 500+ go to waste with something that is only gonna help me make 300rwkw.

who you gonna perve on all day now :P

its month end here and i got uni assingments to do ;)

and i think cara just likes to stir people with these posts of options, next plan v8 in the 34.....its been done cara

Edited by Inline 6

id put a v8 in the s14.

wide body, potato potato LSx, fat meisters, and the ability to stab the clutch in any gear and turn the rear tyres into smoke. awesome.

should mention that heslo disagrees with this idea rather strongly. :P

Edited by scandyflick

is it worth dropping 30k on an engine for it to get some numbers on a screen? i mean the only people that respect dyno queens power outputs are other dyno queen owners, or 12yr old boys?

**yes yes, i know horses for courses but im just tryna get my head around it

*** why not just spend that money on some crazy wide body kit, massive dish wheels and more vynil?? or do you really just want a autosalon dyno trophy?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
