With wheelspin was quickest way...Anyhting less was bogged down and took to long to get boost. As i said that was my best time for the day. I tried lots of different techniques.

You dont see top fuel drivers spinning their wheels through gears and they get pretty good times.

Have you seen how big and sticky their tyres are? And suspesion set up to go straight. They are race cars, i drive mine around corners occasionally.

Saying that "Yer she was spinning into 4th" may sound like your car is uber powerful etc... but it doesnt help your et's.

Did not say this. Said if i could get power down without wheelspin i may get 12's.

I stand corrected.

Can you use these tyres on the road then?

If so, how much are they and what are they like for road use?

I have to admit a very bad thing.....

I got completly smashed the other day by a FORD......

It was an old XY falcon with a 351 GT motor and a massive blower hanging out the bonnet, but he was giving me **** and i thought ill go him but it got me by over 4 car lengths in 400 metres.....

It looked like a big wanker mobile, but it had some serious fuel swallowing ability's... LOL

Yes those old ford do haul arse.

There is one getting around that has wide arse wheels, lowered very slightly with a hornet type bonnet scoop and a nice blue.

It looks and sounds very very tame.

I suspect that he has it supercharged or something as it is to quick for how smooth it idles.

i.e 265 at least on the rear it can light then up no worries from first through second then it starts to get a little hary as the arse end starts to flick around a bit to much. Well when I saw it anyway.

He doesn't stall it up at the lights just guns it as it wheel spins anyway.

When i was making 152rwkw he ate me and spat me out by around 3 car lengths at 100km/h.

    • 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?
