You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Yes but they are gtrawkw

So that's like an extra 40% power in the real world yeah?

Mini Cooper s convertible was adamant on dragging the Gloria one quiet Sunday morning. Rolling back and forward at the lights, revving the motor etc. Auto and low down torque make it a piece of cake to launch, after that the mini never gained any ground. He pulled up beside me grinning, trying to exchange a glance or something? Tint was too dark, so he couldn't see shit lol #VIP #eadc

At least... it's also faster in all situations despite the extra weight over a gtst.

LOL

For some reason there were only 2 cars that HAD to try it on when I had the 33... Cooper S and golf GTI/R

Some dude in a cooper S tried it on once to impress some blonde bimbo in the passenger seat, I held it level with him for a bit of fun until about half way through second... gave him a toot, gave the 33 a clutch kick and left him in the rear view... At the next set of lights on the private road the look on his face was priceless... pure rage.... and the bimbo was almost in tears laughing

I could hear turbo spool so could have been turbo swapped and was sporting an exhaust.

Probably flash tuned though for dat fuel economy.

The JCW minis are factory turbo

Mate of mine has a modded one, bit strange considering he's a great bloke

Needs more JDM Rims...

Will be dropping them off tonight at about 8:00 or so

Somehow I don't think Koya constitutes JDM lol

the ones that are offset by the lack of VCT?

Better plenum, head flows better than GTS-T, generally makes torque earlier on than a GTS-T which makes close to 300kw. Not sure why you think a GTR 9 times out of 10 isn't going to be faster than a GTST with similar power.

What about this guy

Hamish is probably refering to track times on the basis of 4wd and higher weight vs rwd and lighter weight if all else being equal

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
