My spies tell me they saw snowman today and he got 240@all 4 on Sti Dyno...

PS: My spy "mate" got 210 in his Black Sti 03, with the stock wing. But be careful coz in two weeks time this thing will be pushin around 250@all 4...

Spewing I didn't come down, would have helped if I knew about it :) I jeard a Monaro got the highest with 250kw??

The rumours are false!

I went down to say Hi to Brandon (beefy) and Cazz and a few others but didnt run my car on the dyno.

There were a number of great cars down there - some very impressive STI's, the Oz delivered yellow Nismo S15, a JDM interga, and a whole lot more inlcuding some skylines. It was my first visit to the facilities at STI docklands and I must say its a very impressive set-up.

Meshy - the event was posted in the events section. Maybe you should look in there one day! :)

You should have stuck it on Andrew. Did the monaro really get 250atw then? I'll have to keep my eyes open for the next one... should be fun, by then I predict a blue R34 with Nismo LMGT4 clocking around 450kw at all fours :( that'll stick it up the WRX hoons :D

Dont recall seeing a monaro - but a Falcon GT got 240 I think. I wasnt there for long to be honest which is why I didnt run. Had other things on that day.

There were 2 new black STI's - both were awesome.

And stop exagerating what Im doing to my car! Your going to dissapoint a whole lot of people at this rate! lol

highest reading i saw a rex produce on the day was 196rwkw and that was after cranking in an unsafe amount of timing.

You sure there wasn't a Black Sti 03 with a stock WRX boot wing on the dyno that made 209kw?? For some reason it doesn't suprise me my mate is full of sh!t. Always bragging how him and his mates beat GTR's... but they could'nt come close to me when I had 270at the rears.

I'm not totally sure as i wasn't there all day, if snowman's had a very short haircut then i was there for about an hour after he left. Speaking to people that had been their since the early morn no rex's did over 200. It was Vinny's personal car (black sti) that i saw run 196 after he had the luxury of playing with the timing - then reset it to a safe level b4 leaving the dyno. Vinny told me there was a tough GT (XW or XY) that ran 225 odd in the morn.

      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!?!?
