Well it seems that we are on similiar paths for our race cars then. Our goal is to eventually get to the 550rwhp mark with our gt35r though we already run the 1.06 rear. That amount of hp in a rear wheel drive car is around the most you could really actually use. Unless you can get some super trick suspension setups to help get that power to the ground. Just gotta find the right balance for all of it.

I wouldnt be suprised if a split pulse setup actually helps the response abit more then what it is atm. By alot of comparisons that seems to be the case and in theory it makes sense.

I drove it home and back to work again this morning. My only comment on the matter will be :)

As for smell Nismoid - smells like lollipops every time you put your foot down and after sitting over night it smells like sugar cane mulch but much less pungent in the cabin.

I left lollipops all down the highway in 4th

lol E85, feeds both power and sugar addictions at once :D

Theres a fair bit of buzz around some new borg warner turbo's due to hit the market soon, ti exh wheels, billet comp wheels, dual bb etc. I'm told the 8374 will be a sweet match to the rb26 for us 35r converts.

The only currently available line that can be used 100% with E85 is the Teflon braid 200 series stuff. However the cost to get all the fittings crimped is astronomical so we went with what the sprint car guys are running and it's the blue Goodyear pusklock hose. It's not impervious but we will be changing it out each year. At $15 a meter it doesn't brake the budget.

(Which is extra good for someone like Noel)

Why would you use crimp fittings with the teflon hose when there are screw together fittings designed for the job?

Because no one we buy from knew anything about them and the teflon braid was a lot more expensive. Purely a $ decision

The car smells like North qld at harvest time. The power delivery is just brutal. 1st 2nd and third may as well not exist. 4th is squirrelly as all fark and 5th just holds on. Time for some new semi's.

And it aint over yet. More tuning this arvo.

does it have semi's at the moment or just standardish street rubber? much camber on the rear? subframe bushes? stiff springs/shocks?

if you wanted to save the expense of the twin scroll setup, a water meth injection kit with some nitromethane addative will get you that last 20kw for a lot less $$

3rd gear powerskids FTW!

Get up it Noel :ermm:

Noel is officially part of the 400kw club.

Just pulled a 547.5hp run. don't know if they're finished yet....I had to get back to finish putting some engines together.

The setup I drove home on last night hadn't had the EGT's done yet so this morning we installed them and sent it back. Temps were at 600deg so Sean decided to give it some more. Same boost as well.

Drag's tomorrow so fingers crossed my baby holds together like the rest of them.

I'm sure Noel will post final results when they are done but he's had a pretty long day so if he doesn't then I will

pulled up at 555 hp, I now officially belong in this thread,

Cams havnt been touched yet and still shitloads more but enough is enough. I am happy.

Huge thanks to Dan of ERD fame for his herculian effort to get the fuel setup operational in time and to Sean of EFI for more of his magic.

Will post up a pic of the graph later this evening.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
