2 door is good excuse to watch dem struggle in mini-skirts.

and 2 door is harder to escape while car is moving, you know incase they do a runner.

Good thinking

Keep in mind that Leigh's engine came with a factory 335 flywheel kw and the current HSVs have 325 in stock form. If Holden put out a blown V8 it'll be above the FPV power figure cause that's what those two companies do.

In the end what's gonna matter is displacement and power handling potential...if they use LS9, it's a supercharged 6.2L engine > supercharged 5 litre. Coyote is a great engine, but there's nothing particularly trick about it...all supercharged engines respond well to pulley upgrades and tunes.

It would be interesting to see the price though; if they spread across the range or save it for the GTS.

Gee fair whack on your first outlap.

Looked really slippery? Oil spill there previously?

Aaron. We barely half way through. If u come now. Still tonnes of food!<br /><br />And there is no guinnea cops now!!!!<br /><br />Good wine hurr too. <br /><br />We just doing stuff bit by bit.

Lol mad invite!

Come past one night brahz! Take me for a spin uleh

Pretty sure HSV stated it won't be the LS9, and if it were yeah they're awesome but expect to pay 100k+ for the car lol

Also the ford modular engine is complex, much more than the pushrod single cam chevvy 6.2lts, I'm talking n/a vs n/a here 5lt vs 6.2 and 6.4 ftw

The 5.0 L (4951 cc, 302 cid)[12] "Coyote" V8 is the latest evolution of the Modular engine.[13] Ford engineers needed to design a V8, specifically for the Mustang GT, that would compete with the GM 6.2L LS3 used in the new Chevrolet Camaro, and the new Chrysler 6.4L Hemi ESF in the Charger and Challenger.

ford and holden both have to keep each-other in check with stock power figures, also the supercar scare shit will return if they go nuts.

Ls9 has displacement and that is all and with 1.2L still isn't as efficient uses more fuel and needs more mods to be on par with a 5.0 on same boost levels.

power handling potential? on stock blower 5.0 coyote many people have made 480-510rwkw stock engine zorst pulley intercooler tune e85 intake.

ls9 will need heads cam, zorst intake pulleys e85 larger heat ex-changer(internal plenum cooler and external radiator)

keep in mind here the 5.0 coyote has a 1.9l blower and the ls9 has a 2.3l

imo stupid debate anyway, FKN v8 MATE

@ hamish, does the sous vide in the esky hold 59 degrees for the entire hour? or is there a temperature drop?

I'd normally prefer to sear after i sv though. so i'd be concerned about temp drop when i put in the meat.

my esky drops approx .5 - 1 deg per hour so not really...

you can sear afterwards, works the same, as you are not putting enough cold meat in to drop the temp of all that water.

I have done both ways, however sealing first works better for sous vide as the flavour of the searing penetrates the meat.

even in professional kitchens with propper vaccuum sealers and circulators I seal the meat first

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
