yeah sorry we didnt get to catch up. I am not that good with cold introductions so didnt manage to chat with many guys I didnt already know! Regarding the intercooler, I wasnt present for the install (phone pic was from the boys in the shop). I know that the intercooler has made the tuning a little more complex but no big deal otherwise. I will get some info together and get back to you.

thanks Mark. def catch up at the next event.

  • 2 weeks later...

beaut car. love all the work that has gone into it.

hey what sort of dr are you?

I need to find a surgeon who will do total knee replacements on a 31yr old; no luck so far

last surgeries had my patella's removed, not good for a 201cm tall bloke. loads of pain, disabled now :down:

  • Nope 1

About 20 hp, mostly due to turbulence caused by having it shut rather than extra flow through the side without the muffler as the magna flow muffler is straight through. When closed there is a dead space in the closed section that likely creates turbulence at the y junction.

Cool thanks for the information.

The best thing to note is that with our exhaust (3.5" dumps into a 4" centre pipe with 2x 4" rear pipes) and the willall turbo upgrade, we achieved a BETTER THAN STANDARD boost curve! There has been approx 100rpm gain in boost response which, combined with the extra airflow of the larger turbos, provides heaps more torque in the midrange.

this thing sounds horn! I'm not game to nail it but I can say that by the sound it has it WILL go.

those that have seen it would have noted the camera setup. I had a problem to sort on that this morning.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • 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.
