Is the 34 running -5's?

And they are on race fuel aren't they? Last time I was out at Russels they had drums of Sunoco or Martini or something like that

i was fairly sure they were using E85 and -5's. as it kept the response similar to how it was on the R32's engine.

1 min in mark says its running E85

Also other 400rwkw/-5 - Aaron34, pretty certain it was 400rwkw and pegged back to 380 as it was seeing extensive circuit.

tangomatt also, 415rwkw. Pics of -5s :(

how about smallest turbo that is running efficiently for the power application = win?

where do you draw the line at being 'efficient'?

I would say running 20psi on a highflow is past its efficiency but they make for an awesome combination on a street car!

I suppose you draw the line with EGTs, going past a turbos efficiency will increase the EGTs no doubt. But I suppose if thats still in acceptable range then thats still ok. Although I would prefer to drop a few psi and get right in its efficiency zone.

yeah, you can still have fairly acceptable EGTs and be well out of the efficiency zone a lot of the time though which was sort of what I was trying to say.

sure the turbo is putting excess heat into the intake charge but it is still scavenging energy out the exhaust so its still being more efficient mechanically than an NA vehicle, but you are right, it is a nicer option to have temps etc all well under control so you can drive it around on a 35c day without issue.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
