Trent, John, Gordon and the lads at Mercury have been working hard the last few days on and off getting the tune on the car right.

I reckon it was the cream buns for smoko and firebreather pizza that I got delivered around lunchtime today though that sparked some true Mercury genius.

I think I'm going to have to buy the boys pizza more often.

lol, we are just simple banana benders.

Although I am sure Duncan doesn't need me to tell him, for everyone else its 475 kW at the wheels

Awesome result . . .and a further testament to the performance industry here in Aus.

Awesome avatar mark.. have you got hi res pic of that?

That's one of the pics from our MASSIVE dyno day yesterday! Not sure if I can get my hands on the hi-res as I am pretty sure that shot will be used as the main pic for the subsequent article in High Performance Imports.

No flame thrower kit. Just no cats. It happens when you come off the power due to heat / unburnt fuel. It is not related to a rich tune either which is another misconception.

some guys in the states have actually sent pms to get the details of the 'flame thrower kit' I am using, so wasn't sure!

As for the rear bumper, it may do, but in reality it will only occur on the track on changing gears at which time there will be more airflow behind the car. the artificial environment of the Dyno room isnt helping!

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
