New hiccup this afternoon whilst tuning. Slipped teeth was the diagnosis. Will hopefully be fixed tomorrow and hopefully finished. Car was making impressive figures before that and sounded great.

1123nm of torque was reached early also struggled for traction at anything over 2000rpm which is a pain.

Here is a pic for the meantime

lookin the goods Scottie.

Can't wait t'il u can post some final dyno results buddy

So far it isyes. Traction really is the biggest killer for me at the moment. Anyone got ideas of how to help with it? Currently running 275 semi slicks on 18's also have BC racing coilovers. Im going to look at softening the rears up. In regards to boost levels Richo was playing around with it at 25-30psi so will see in coming days what it performs best at

1100nm of torques is impressive...good luck hanging onto that :P

GTR rear guards and 315's will help that, but really with the power your looking at, nothing is going to save you :devil:

Im interested to see what he gets out of it once he can finally put his boot through the right pedal!

Most reckon semi's will show a lower power figure aswell. Try and get some cheapy rubber on there so you can compare apples with apples.If it spins, sit in the boot :yes:

Hope it goes well.

Funny you mention sitting in the boot. I said to the tuner to just throw some of the old motors he has lying around in there for some weight haha

You can mess with any dyno, Greg's V6 rodeo gave somewhere around 350kw on the dyno at our most recent dyno day.....lol

accurate would be running it as you will on the street/strip. no point talking numbers if you can't actually show them when it counts.

imo.

Agree to some extent.

Most 'talk numbers' using street tyres on the dyno. No doubt the results will be compared with others cars so if he is using a tyre that is claimed to produce a lower reading there will always be that differential, let alone the dyno and a gazillion other things, which will make comparisons more difficult.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
