oooo more boost off the line time :rolleyes:

$60 each ... not MUCH less than the sards ... but then i guess you dont have to get collars

Mine is a "custom jobbo" also ... a 12 though ... full sequential fuel / waste spark

Look forward to seeing your times drop mate!! Use all of that 2800 stall :D

UPDATE:

Well satuday did and didnt give the results we wanted.... kind of... haha, well we had it on the dyno for fcken ages trying to get the thing to run right... it was being a bit of a pig... leaking oil from strang places, spitting belts off and what not... just the usual teathing problems when u start leaning on cars a bit hard... Well its all sorted and the best reading we could get off the dyno was 378hp@10~11psi.... now although this doesnt sound like the biggest gain we are up 48hp with double the boost..... but the amount of torque that increased cause the car to wheel spin on the dyno.... after taking the car for a quick spin around the block it became evidently clear.... This car is making a serious amount of power... way more then the dyno was showing..... at a rough guess i would confidently say ive achieved my goal of 400+

But time will tell, its going to willowbank on wedensday so for those who want to come watch... its crunch time.... and for those who are wondering, yes i will have my tighty whitey flame proof undies on

we'll see how it goes...

ill take the digital video camera, when i finally work out how to get it on the computer ill kindly ask someone to host it for me :(

As i said im perplexed at the dyno result, and i just cant get it to hook up on the street even with 265's on it, so yeah the strip will tell the true story... just gotta try get some sleep the next two nights.... im so farken excited...

Pretty farken stoked with that... still a little more in it... its wheel spinning with the slicks on and i cant run any lower pressures, im thinking a new set of slicks may be what the doctor ordered.

What sort of rims/slicks are you currently running?

congradulations and celebrations!

thats a fantastic time. How was the gearbox with the manualization? getting mine manualized and valve body modded soon.

Do you feel rewardrd for all your hard work yet?

Also do you have a cage in your car? ANDRA will be causing you hasstles soon :)

Thanks heaps guys, yeah it feels unreal!!

The gearbox is great, its spinning 1st to 2nd on the slicks, so thats a pretty good indication its shifting pretty hard.

Funny u should mention the gearbox... it started spewing fluid out one of the senders on my last pass last night... doesnt look serious.. will have a good look at it tonight.

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
    • Mine is all -12, I’m running a dry sump in a billet block though
