inb4 3 way rolling drag between leigh, turbo dragon and myself

We're all RWD yeah? We can do standing start, but not much forward movement will be happening for the first 3-5 seconds for anyone though. Will be a great smokeshow though :cheers:

Shitty suspension and stock diff I wont be going anywhere till 2nd-3rd gear

Pretty sure Leigh's supercharged auto will demolish me from a standing start

Yay! I've decided to supercharge the 6L and car is booked in for the 30th to get the charger fitted and tuned :woot:

Decided to go for one of these bad boys, mainly because it looks stock-ish:

Looks pretty inconspicuous despite the badging. How much power you expecting? Who is doing the tune?

Shitty skyline suspension > "above average" commodore/falcon suspension ;)

Yah, liking it cos there's no massive supercharger belt out front and almost everything is hidden under covers. Might have to find a way to cover up the badging, like vinyl wrap it or something haha Has 12" long inlet runners so apparently the torque gains are massive when compared to Magnuson and Whipple chargers.

MPW will be doing the work and specialise in boosting 8's. They installed and tuned the cam for me and I ahve been stoked with their service and attention to detail so far, so was a no brainer to hit them up again when I decided to go forced induction.

With the smaller pulley (10psi) and current combo, on 98 the tuner is confident for high 300s at the wheels. On E85, well over 400rwkw :)

vwlbc drags night on private track

AKA dandy factories

considering my ute is tail happy with maybe 130ish...I'ld hate to drive it!

admittedly holden don't have cart springs for rear suspension, but then they don't tow/hold as much.

now that in a sports wagon would be fun.

Yeah my car definitely be better off the line than on roll, the more gears I go through the better - dat auto gearbox ftw.

Or take your cars to the drags and try to better my current best of 11.61 :D

Do they still want $10k for that kit?

Did it come with any supporting mods? Injectors/fuel pump etc?

Seems a bit pricey for labour and essentially bolt-on parts.

Should just buy a couple of sss pulsars amiright?

lol, nah im serious. i wasnt the only one who thought it was pricey, especially considering they quoted turbo conversion for the same price.

Yeah but think about the type of bloke who supercharges his commodore... they're probably almost all FIFO workers

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
