Looks like some dollars have been spent on that. They run a similar intercooler set up to what we have planed.

How do the jap powered cars go at speedway?

Iv'e found the answer to my question :-

Edited by GROWLY CUSTOM CNC

Here a bit of info for the guys interested in building a cheap race car for dirt circuit. This car was started 12 days ago by a couple of novices and may be almost ready to race this weekend. The car (something a bit different a Hyundai sonata) was free. The materials for the roll cage cost $170 and the whole cars should be built for approx $500 - $600. Check out this thread it has some good info on how to fit the roll cage yourself and eventually will contain all the info to build a sedan based car.

still no new car in the garage it is still sitting in a shed that we cant access atm due too a muddy track :-( but on the bright side i picked up 2 rear tyres for it ....thank god for friends with sprintcars i scored these 2 that only had done 1 heat race on them

well actually i could damo these are 94 circumfrence x15inch rim size x 15 inches wide i grabbed the small ones they use . they use up too a 105 circumfrence x 15 inch rim x 17 inches wide . but there 410 ci alloy moter pulls just a bit harder than the 308 ive got lol

Hey Dean, Here's another option. Chris Noth on the Truro raceway committee has this for sale :-blown, injected, 350 Chev. It was last run in a commodore super sedan from Roxby and as you can imagine was insanely fast. It's a pity they banned nitrous a few years ago. A bit of laughing gas would make the 308 go hard.

yeah damo still sticking with the 308 cause i have one sitting here already just waiting for the pistons too rock up then will send the lot in to be balanced and will put it together .

i really dont want too spend a lot on the donk so if the car runs c or b grade so be it im really only after a bit of fun thats reliable and cheap ..but if growley custom cnc wants too buy that blower and sponser me a deal im happy to buy low comp pistons lol .

cheers all more pics as i go along

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
