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.

LOL

*can't get any power down... Lets try and make some more

:no:

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.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
