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.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
