Pretty good to be honest! Had a good chat with him and he said all my work was absolutely bang on which is really reassuring to here as I have no mechanical background! Just someone who is keen to learn :)

Only issue so far is small fuel leak from the hose that runs from the tank kid to the hardline. Replaced that it's all sweet.

Every few runs he keeps getting out to tighten the straps down as it keeps walking off the dyno haha :)

So keen to see your opinion of your first drive when you get it back. I would love to do this one day and just have a ridiculously quick street car that's basically always on boost. Been following this for a while, I hope all your hard work pays off for you mate.

Cheers

Can't believe how close you guys were haha. Check that tractive effort, it's pretty much dead flat and you really feel it when you drive, it just gets up and goes as soon as you hit the loud pedal.

Cam timing is still slightly out I assume due to the 25/30 situation. Revved it to 7000 on the dyno and it just kept making power as you can see. But I requested the rev limiter be dropped back so soft cut is 6600.

I'm absolutely stoked with how it drives right now, feels so aggressive and torquey everywhere.

Will give it a while and go back and play with the cam timing and give it another 10psi and see what happens :)

No target. The engine will only ever make what it wants to. I don't really care about big numbers, I just want to be able to skid 4th haha.

Speaking of that, need to source a 4.11 diff, has a 4.3 in it at the moment.

4.08 ratio is what I've put in my R32... Another option for you.

    • 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.
