ok so on the hunt for someone to rebuild my engine...

engine was originally built by midnight mods, all other work done by RE Autoworks (back in 2005-6). My run-ins with RE the last year havent been too fruitful, but I found out on the weekend he has now merged with RTR in Dandenong, who are reputable and seem like nice guys. and Ray knows the engine pretty well, so could be beneficial

So far on my list is:

DrDrift

Forced Motorworx

RTR

any other suggestions?

What about Tony's engine rebuilder?

Michael? He's pretty good, him and his dad have a shop! Should see the one in his garage!

Yeah alot of workshops outsource alot for the engine building processes to specialised workshops. As you need quite specific and expensive equipment.

Michael is an engine rebuilder by trade. So only thing going in that workshop is engine rebuilds non stop!

Workshop is called Headspec in Mulgrave, If you want we can discuss your options over cofee or something one night and i'll ask Michael to come along if his free.

yeah Me and a buddy lifted a (used) 302 off the back of a ute to the ground..worst bit was finding it was a used 302 so we had to get it back on to take back to the shop

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
