who the f**k said too much power? power was the same to within 5kw between our cars, his was all in by like 2000 RPM doe...

people underestimate just how much extra displacement that 0.5l is... it's 20%

For me I'll be simulating my litre motorbike, which just had oodles of power everywhere, but most importantly in the low and mid range where big bore short stroke engines usually suffer

And for that matter it's pretty much the same discussion as 600s versus 1000s - they both fast as each other when they are on song and most people can ride a 600 better than they can ride a 1000. But on the road, in traffic, in higher gears, that low end torque is blissfully awesome!

I'd also rather be able to boost in 4th and 5th at cruising RPMs

But yeah we'll see

An interesting dyno graph it will make

Old mate from facey pm'd me about that forged RB26...it's a brand new rebuild with receipts...could be tempted if it saves me a few grand on the RIPS VL. Will see what's wrong with current RB first.

Just put 20w/50 oil in and she'll be right.

receipts for the $350 pistons... great...

Tell Chris to check his emails!

Previous owner has had it running with the knocking, you've driven it with the knocking. High chance that the crank can't be salvaged. Sure, it could be... but theres definitely better odds that it won't be!

Guess I'm hoping for the chance it's something in the valve train like a bent valve or something.

Will also give a chance to suss out anything else I need to acquire, like a new head for example.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
