haha I think I might be mostly talking to myself....but anyway

Tonight the beasts were robbed in the final!

Thieir rock crawler was much better but they lost in the end just because the length of their wheelbase was wrong for where the rocks were. the other guys with the crappy car but longer wheelbase got away with it.

at least that means next episode is one of their champion's challenges which are always godo

This is best show! Except the "junk" they bring in i doubt is real junk since for every episode they always get specific parts in there, so the show places those parts before each episode to make things fair and easier. I miss how in the first episodes none of the engines and batteries could barely work and took ages to get started now it seems they all run fine.

I watched the episode when they built the race cars. Well some of it.

The "expert" commentators were explaining how putting more weight over the rear wheels helped them grip better and caused the car to understeer.

It was at about that point I threw up and left the room.

ahh well there's only so much you can expect from the commentators, it doesn't really take away from the amazing back yeard engineering they do.

jewjitsu I totatlly agree - especially since they moved to the newest scrapyard. I reckon they just have a better bdget these days and they run out of a set, not a scrapyard. every bloody motor or car they pull out these days work

duncan - your a mad dog how you love this show, i recon its cool as well! Def beats watching sport on weekends :thumbsup: Its also cool when they have to use guns i saw one where they had to build a little kind of tank and have to have air guns that shot out potatoes at the other machine it was funny, the commentator were expecting there to be damage a potato shot across like two football fields wouldnt do much lol (hope you could get your head around what i just wrote lol)

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
