So yours was pretty much just a new pulley to up the boost a bit and tuning the stock ecu... then a few supporting mods. You had to do injectors as well yeah?

my pulley is still standard, the computer controls a 'wastegate' type valve that bleeds off boost from factory. injectors standard as well, only supporting mods I did was tyres and coilovers lol

If I wanted more boost from where I am at the moment would need a new pulley, but along with more boost would become more heat, needing intercooler as well, and at that power level need injectors as well! This is why I'm happy with 'only' 370rwkw

Barring shitty forced induction setup, I would expect a bit more power given an extra litre of displacement...

not really, the ford heads meant to flow a lot better I think, thats why they make awesome power from just 5.0l (something along those lines) the design of the LS engines pretty old school in comparison - michael the bloke with supercharged XR8 would know more about the differences

The problem with Leigh's car is that it's too perfectly in it's power delivery...see above. It still feels quick but not as quick as you are going. Your joy needs to come from smashing other cars, getting the tale out or getting to ridiculous speeds quickly.

The G tech picked up greater instantaneous G force in my car, which was a lot slower.

Which is why I say blower for drivability, turbo for fun.

    • 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)
