what do people think of the new fords supercharged v8? i love it and it sounds so good too.

Everything is good except the fact they are Fk ugly a. Interior is cheap and basic steering wheel looks like it belongs on a Volvo bus

Hsv all the way

Man imagine of Shan wasn't an admin. Kent would be banned from 4chan

LOL!

I do make a R33 look good, in a photo :laugh:

you've been smoking too much pole if you think a 32 or 33 looks better than a poopra. They may be lighter and easier to steer, but they sure as shit don't look better.

I thought you hated Supras?

this shits all over holdens v8, none of theres sound anywhere near as good as this:

My uncle has a R8 wagon i think with an exhaust...

Doesn't have a blower whine like that but the exhaust note was quite a surprise, needs to be a decent system though. Not just some straight through pipes and crap, they just sound raspy.

Mate of mines blown LS1, sounds like a banshee coming up behind you. <3 blowers

im sure that LS1 would sound crazy. its the only way to make a holden v8 sound decent is with a good quality exhaust or else they are just so quiet and dont sound very good. but this ford with a stock exhaust sounds really good.

dream on scotty!

i realise this isn't exactly a stock exhaust but meh! has to be my favourite exhaust note hands down

Ye that's what the R8 wagon my uncle's sounds like, brilliant exhaust note.

Just exhaust and a tune i think it made 240rwkw. Not bad for a work wagon lol.

yeah that hsv sounds good but it isnt stock exhaust though, what i was saying that ford with the stock exhaust sounds better than any hsv with a stock exhaust i have heard. and im sure when someone gets a aftermarket exhaust for this new ford it will sound even better.

and that LS1 sounds awesome i love the sound of a supercharger with the deep note of a v8.

Oh and Alex - things are now even from that previous thread.

Didn't see the last line of comment. What is good for the goose is good for the gander in my world :)

still dont see how they are 'even' and still dont see how i wasted the mods time.

but whatever still got 40% to go should get me by :rofl2:

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
