Dean or Chris should be able to help you out with pretty much anything there. Starting to compile R33's soon as well. Have their vehicle inspection tomorrow i think?

cheers.

ice, racepace ant upi are amongst the most popular amongst the sau boys here.

The guys that run all 3 shops own pretty f**ken impressive cars to say the least :) They're all no BS workshops whose idea of tuning don't just involve upping the boost. They have heaps of experience and have collaborated with us on many occasions at various events, so they continue to get our full support. They let their figures do the talking instead of promising the world. :)

As for contact details, check the sticky at the top of the VIC section labelled "one sticky to rule them all" or something, it contains links, phone numbers etc for almost all the workshops the VIC guys frequent.

To funkymonkey:

thank you for all the information, i am going down to melbourne tomorrow for 2 weeks to sort of a place to stay. i'll go and check out these 3 workshops if they are not too far from my friend's place.

upi and ice arent too far from each other, race pace is in bayswater (i think)

i prefer ice as i havent had experience with any of the others, but also because of the no bullshit service they give you there

plus he has a husky

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
