Thanks Dave,

We were extremely happy to get 1000hp on E85, not sure if that had been done before, but to push it further now we are switching to c16 and more boost. The engine had perfect compression after the power cruise event, so we are happy to step up the power and see how it goes. Obviously the GT4788R is a big turbo, so there should be plenty of room to move from its current power figure. Fingers crossed it performs well at Autosalon. If it does, we will make the trek to Autosalon Sydney with a few more goodies added to it to go even further.

Actually my friend who owns the Rockstar GTR made 1000hp atw on E85 just before Jambo, and that was straight out of the pump :happy:

It is running a big set up stroker and all the other good bits you know people wont give out there specs on the engine.

Until you ring the person who built the engine. Fact is, there is no use keeping that stuff a secret. It's all been done before. Only the tune is different. People have been making over 1k for many years, it's just a matter or how many more are coming up

True that - Most people will freely give you thier parts list.

However its all the stuff in assembly and small things that make the difference. And you rarely find those on a spec sheet :P

What is the rev limit on this? Given it doesnt fall off boost between gear changes would suggest at least 10,000? :(

Yeah those Nitto cranks are good for 12k apparently. Well so Nitto tell me

Guys, we just took out runner-up for Highest Overall Horsepower at Gold Coast Auto Salon with NITTO putting out 1071awhp with no nitrous!!!

Currently, we're running an Autronic SM4 ECU + CDI but we're upgrading that side of things at the moment and it's 'only' revving to 9500rpm. There is much more to come out of this car and we're looking forward to the Final Battle in Sydney in a couple of months.

The Rockstar GTR put out 950awhp (not over 1000) on E85 too, we were talking to him at Jambo (nice guy!)

It made 985awhp and that was with a slipping clutch so no dout that it will make over 1000awhp with the new clutch. It runs pump E85 and no NOS and it is going to put more boost into it soon.

Well that's strange because he told us "950" but much of a muchness - but he hasn't made quad figures on E85 yet, like we have. Yes, we do know all about that car we were talking to him for quite a while at Jambo :cool:

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
