your life only truely begins after your Top Fuel cherry has been popped.

true that Paul. it was the missus first time and she shit herself. i laughed. lol. gotta love the sound and vibration. one of a kind. especially when 2 are running down perfectly together.

I couldn't believe how much your eyes rattle in your head when the top fuelets go past, and the one that blew the motor at half track it was insane how you could feel the heat when your not even really close to it. I'm still buzzing and can't wait to go again

Was there too, it was great.

HAHA sure feels like its your eyes shabe but there 120Db+, they are actually vibrating the sound barrier.......sweet :P Also found out that each pipe coming out the engine release's 300kg's of pressure which was hard too believe. Ill be going again :D

my brother used to pilot a tf rail and finally an fc. for shits and giggles get someone you want to prank on, stand near one of them on a prep run (startup in the pits pre run). muhahah >: ) wish they had em in melbourne again. :P

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
