Turbo swaps are hard try reinstalling the powerfc first... :D Couldn't help myself...

Seriously maybe Dirt's still holding 3rd gear so he doesn't exceed 140mph...

Good luck over the weekend Paul & Mark..

it launched off the line with too much power/throttle turning the tyres, then at the top of 2nd blew the intercooler hose off the turbo outlet....still ran 10.23... :)

ill pull 4th if the 1st half of the run is in order and get logged for no chute...till i get it together there is no point running it out the back door.

100k on a car

60k trying to make it go hard on the drag strip

leaving it in 3rd because you dont want to spend 3k on log booking the POS.... Priceless

its log booked already ya flogger

id rather get logged (booked for non compliance) for a 9.46 @ 148 than run a 9.9* @ 141 and have to park the car at a 4 day meet.

thrashing the sh1t out of expensive engines when you know at 1/4 track the thing is not on a screamer is foolish to say the least.

please crawl back under the pile of sh1t you just appeared from fatz. (my new sig...lol)

lol

im still in third

gold!

sounds like an ad for a Ford ute. :)

yes i realise fabricating brackets and mounting a parachute is inevitable...my car was late arriving in QLD and we were pressed for time at Godzilla this week preparing Marks car to return to the track.

all my 9 second passes have been done as a 3 speeder. 3rd gear @ 9100rpm = 139MPH! over 140MPH requires extra safety gear and the chute.

more work required on the car before Jamboree to optimise the set-up.

Big thanks to Mark, Harry, Murdy and Scott for their efforts.

car is fine...Marks is getting close too, bit too much clutch on the 7.92 and black-tracked to 1/2 track.

if Mark's car wasn't finished we were planning on swapping the chute over to my car. It will be all sorted for Jambo in August.

yea superlap rocked..... everyone there said your a crumpet but i thought you were quite fetching and nice

in newy every second week.. come say hi i love talking in person

good meet, weather held out nicely, and seen Mark do all his runs, also had a chat to Paul, very helpful and showed me a few things as well, i didnt get to see Pauls runs because the rest of the people i was with didnt wanna sit around watching street cars, they struggled to watch the super compact at the start but soon changed there tunes and said they were really good (these guys are the crew for a 5.7 sec funny car so they not into the non v8 stuff). A few of the boys on the crew are keen on 2jz's now lol :P

So how did the rest of the runs go Paul? Did you see how Theo went also?

That white datto ute with 4g63 was crazy, great to watch wheelstanding on gearchanges lol, absolute weapon!!!

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
