Triple post.. 3mins apart each.. going in reverse chronological order.. 12:08am 12:05am 12:02am..

Damn you've got some skills

[Dani Boi]

haha Haxz. Eric what have you done to your car? Did I not rub her good enough?

[SKYRYAN]

Mmm Michael, I got a faster quarter time before I put in the SAFC, 3" front/dump/cat, and turned the boost up

Car really felt sluggish eh.

[Chi100188]

sorry about tripple post net was being gay but aye it takes some good skils as bubba said hahaha

[bubba]

The bit that got me was how you managed to get the 3 posts in reverse chronological order.. like wtf?

[lunjiaow]

lol. Maybe you should just disconnect the hand controller. Then you will solve your knocking. Just probably paranoid cause your monitoring it all the time.

Oh yeah be sure to keep your eyes on the road too.

So your going to get a de-cat pipe, you'll get some nice flames

As we are discussing "dynoing" etc, i think its a good idea for me to shamelessly promote an event! SAUWA has a Dyno day booked!! Sign up! Its posted in the "Members area"

See ya's there

[Chi100188]

hmmmmm i gotta pay for the members section ! hahah hmmm just a question top racing resolved the knocking issue by advancing the timing back to 13 instead of 18 so does that mean i lose power? the tuner said because my head gasket is too thin and when he advances the timing to 18 it will knock so in order to run more timing i need a thicker head gasket? hmmmm ahah .....lunjiao its not beign paranoid its my engine light it kept flashing when i chopped that v8 or the turbo ute lol my bro's like WTF is happening ur lights are going crazy ! hahahha so yeah looked at the controller and knock was like 80+ to 160+ so im like WOAH HOLY DAMN !!!

Cheers

I don't think you would lose power. At least your engine will last longer though.

Just get a new turbo and other mods for more power =P then you can take it to the dyno day when ever that is.

But yeah i guess you didnt get too bad on the dyno.

[bubba]

Less timing will make less power.

What your tuner was trying to say is, your compression is too high to run +18deg (btw he RETARDED your timing, not advanced it), a thicker headgasket will reduce compression slightly allowing you to wind more timing in. Less compression will also handle more boost but make less power off boost.

Your engine was originally NA wasn't it? this would explain the high compression, you will never be able to run as much boost or timing as a turbo engine as the compression ratio wasn't designed for it

[Chi100188]

no this engine is Mitchy's engine and it was turbo originally....but was rebuilt apparently.......the tuner said the head gasket which was used may not be as thick or someshite hahah but yeah still goes pretty hard right now my NA engine is still at my mates house from the transformation

[bubba]

Ahhhhhhhhhh it's all falling into place now

[Chi100188]

so yeah how much would it normally cost to put a thicker head gasket in? 400$? more?

the temperatures that we have been getting lately could be the problem for the hight knock levels. as soon as the temp get up to 35 degrees + my knock can get up to 50. just have to drive gently. definitely no boost.

I reckon it was the competition you had on the day!

[R32 Driver]

I thought to change a head gasket its like 1k+ in labour

i could be wrong but i think thats the price on a supra

[Chi100188]

so expensive man i thought it would be liek 3-400 or even 500...if i supplied head gasket
