looking to have about 600hp at the wheels hopefully, dont know how much power loss ill have to the ground with an all wheel drive, anyone care to shed some light?

the t04z is rated to about 700+hp, but i dont want it to be too laggy, im after a balance of power and response maybe leaning a bit towards the power side, if it doesnt work out ill change to setup

As the TO4z is supposed to perform similar to a pair of GTRS's, it would be fairly safe to say it will start making boost below 2000 rpm, have a good .4 bar by 2500 and achieve full boost by 3800-4000. The right cams and head porting + tune will make this even more responsive.

Hi Guys

I know its been like a year since ive posted anything... just wanted to let you know that things are still going ahead but just shitloads slower than i thought it would, ive been busy working and the engine builder has also had other commitments and hasnt quite finished it yet, he assures me it will be done within the next few months and i dont really want anyone else building this motor so all i can do is wait. I Spoke to him a week ago and he said the block and head is at the machine shop.

Ive boaght a set of TE37 SL among other things a week ago so i thought i would post that up

still waiting on engine builder, he has been so busy with other stuff its annoying, spoke to him yesterday and he said all the machining was done and the head is complete, he basically has to put it all together and take it all apart again then put it all together again.

he builds these engines in his spare time, he basically told me he used to do it for a living but there's no money in it so he does it on the side, and he also looks after drag cars so if they break or need attention that goes to the top of his list

THAT is why this is taking so long ><

I have everything i need except for this motor so as soon as it arrives...

No money in it :mellow:

My mates engine builder (I thought you may have been getting him to do it, that's why I asked earlier) is absolutely rolling in it haha. Very very very busy though. Anyway, I understand how frustrating it is waiting on other people! Looking forward to seeing progress though :thumbsup:

Well either way he puts these engines together at his house, he still relies on his friends in the industry as he doesnt have the machines to do the jobs a workshop can, so they take time but also gets the work done at a very good price and still very proffesional

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
