Reading all this has got me thinking that i should try to get my turbos on before this event so i can get over the 300kw mark aswell. I'll make some calls tomorrow and see what i can organise :)

yeh come join the 300rwkw club Chad....lol

Just buy a heap of G size bottles... and while the import cars are running, open all the bottles into the dyno cell - extra power and a nice relaxed and cheerful mood for everyone :D It might cause a fire, but that just makes it easier to cook the BBQ food.

Ken/PIMPED, 400rwkw using 550cc Sard injectors... that's what i call pushing the limit!

I'm going to do my best to make it to this dyno day, as it sounds really interesting. It'll also be interesting to do a rough comparison (power curve, peak values, turbo response etc.) with my own dyno runs on Shaun's dyno - there's about 90+ of them saved on the thing ha-ha.

I might even have the tuning finished by then and could try and help bolster the import figures - I 'may' be able to offer low 300's at the rears - best of 302rwkw so far. It might squeeze out 315-320ish once the cams are set-up and a few more pounds wound in.

What we - the import team - really needs is for Darren's R31 to be up and running - 550rwkw would help push the total up nicely.

yeah im abit worried bout that atm, going to 1000cc soon, but i hope the 550cc will hold out for 400, fingers crossed anyway, but it makes 300 with easy, fuel is running really rich atm, was told rich enough to get almost 400rwkws with but i would be pushing it, i dunno, ill get it on the dyno and see what we can do, and the remap of the 32 ecu is wicked, better then my power fc in my old 33

Nitrous oxide is not flammable.

Correct. Oxygen is nonflammable too. However, what these gases are very good at is supporting explosive combustion, all they need is an ignition source and a saturated concentration - think dyno cell full of G size bottles opened fully and then add a red hot manifold. I'll be the one standing over the road :P

Next time you're at the drags and you see someone purge their nitrous system, don't stick your head near the stream of purged N20 smoking a cigar... unless you want to look like Micheal Jackson :O

I guess it depends on how 'real' those 400rwkw are, if you get my drift. To safely support a genuine 400rwkw you are going to to be pushing well beyond the safe level for 550cc injectors. I wouldn't risk it. Wait till you get the 1000's in.

just grab some NOS and spray it into the intercooler MRVLT style.

hahah yeah that was the funniest thing to see on the autosalon dyno

they could have just used fire extinguisher

it would have done the same job lol

even funnier the power figures didnt really improve though lol

Using LOX (liquid oxygen) would 'kind of' work nicely at externally snap cooling the intercooler :)

I can't recall the exact LOX temp off the top of my head (- a few hundred 'c) cryogenic freezing temp's that's for sure. It also has an expansion rate of 600ish to 1, as in 1L of LOX = 600L of gaseous oxygen. So watchout when it reaches a source of ignition! Great for speeding up the BBQ cooking times, it'll cook snags in microseconds, then melt the BBQ and burn a nice hole in the ground under it :)

Anyway, back to the dyno day conversation. Any info' on the domestic entries?

hey buddy who did u get to remap your 32 ecu??

jeff at turbotune, did a good job, isnt cheap for most people though, lol, also i wont be boosting her up anymore, keep her at 300rwkws, 550s wont hold out, it will lean out to much, 20 psi is pushing it with them, so 16 psi will have to do, will still be in the 300rwkw club though, if there is such a thing? lol, hope to see u all there

Good move mate, as it's just not worth taking the risk. Get those bigger squirters in there first, then you can crank up the boost safe in the knowledge the fuel system can support it.

We are both at a similar point actually, as I'm just about to upgrade to a new set of 780cc injectors in my 33 - my 550's are no longer up to the task... especially for E85.

so urhhhhh what are you going to be doing with the 550cc injector? :O

Ha-ha, yep, I'll be selling them. However, one potential problem. I have a custom top-feed fuel rail, which means my 550's won't suit the OEM RB25DET rail.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
