360 rwkw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fark the car is insane now... running 50/50 mix of fuel and its just nuts. can run an extra 15 degrees timing at full load and the low down torque and response is awesome!

power was made on 16 psi too.. where as before it was running 19-20 psi and made less power.

if you dont mind me asking. how is it that your GT30 is flowing so much power at 16psi. A GT35 would be very lucky to make that much power

on 16psi. Am i missing something? also the torque is alot lower then i would expect for that sort of power.

no gains over straight e85.. just less reliance on larger fuel sys and moisture absorbing.

either way... car is awesome... BAKES tyres hard now hahaha.

came 1st in state comp today :banana:

oh very good on the G1 win. about time youve been around for ages. (thats a good thing) i was watching zero traction DVD only a few days ago. id never seen it. plenty of you in your old ceffy. and i think ive got the dvd that had you drving a eight six back in the full lock days.

so how many years have you ben competing? whats been the best car and best highlight?

hmmmm... about 7-8 years now...shiiiit thats too long and too much cash haha.

i have a fond spot for my blue NA 86... nothing liking holding it pinned flaty out at 9000 rpm and just throwing it in hard... had 12 deg neg camber front with mega stiff susp... wasnt ultra competitive but damn it was fun!

best highlight would be battling Shinji Minowa in my 32 4 door at dec 07 drift nats at calder park for 1st and 2nd place (i came 2nd) to drive against a jap driver and have a re run and only just lose and yet learn so much about driving was an amazing experiance.. i also took hom 6K prize money that was mindblowing.

this s14 has been a mixed bunch of emotions.... enjoyable car but damn its very hard to pull off consitant runs due to it being so knife edge

well done great result. :banana:

if you decide to go with bigger injectors to run full E85. Ill give you a link to some 1000cc bosch injectors that work a treat. only $480 delivered.

your red 4 door when it had the XD9s on it was its pinnacle for me. but im a 32 fan. i still cant belive that i didnt buy that 4 door back in the day. i had 2 chances to.

    • 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?
