Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Spent the afternoon looking at turbo/s options.

I'm just getting more and more confused.

Partly because i'm not really sure what sort of power I want to end up with.

Thats why I don't get concerned with final power figures, focus on how you want it to drive and forget about the power figure.

McFly is one of the fastest street cars in the club around LP and he's only got 320ish HP.

Thats like my old R32, it was twice the car at 245rwkw compared to 330rwkw. I was so dissapointed at how it drove I had to sell it! lol

How much HP Pete?

And what do you want use the car for?

400Kw would be nice. But at the same time, The car is never going to be a serious track car (white GTR at lakeside and all) so response is key. Stroker+E85 might give both, and somethin like a BW 7670 or similar sized Precision (6266?) might be just the turbo.

I don't. He will have to prove me wrong with a massive skid

First thing i did was install a skids switch...

That being said I was won over by the launch crowd on the weekend. No reason why i can't have both though.

Bunts!

update re: unicorn

Man I have had so much going on with work and estate stuff that I haven't really touched it. I have the new ECU in and running. I have the crank trigger and I have a new exhaust. I need a balancer and to take it down and get it fitted and tuned. While I am there I am getting pipes made up so I can re install the stock airbox. I doubt I will get the time to do any of this until July or so.

Pete,

Big ass single, Precision 6466, big exhaust cam and slightly smaller inlet cam, possible stroker & head work. Should nett you some healthy numbers whist hopefully having decent response

deceased estate or real estate?

Sounds like a fair bit of progress mate. Hope to eventually come cruising with you some time

Deceased estate. I will come out with you when is done. Need to squeeze the cruise in between finishing it and going over seas for 6 months!

all good mate. I understand you're situation trust me.

Rushing things tends to always attract mistakes.

Better off to take the necessary time to get it right.

Hoping Ants. Im trying to hold of guess-timations of power out put etc on this one. As long as it doesnt make less that 588 [Cant see how this would be possible] I will be happy.

I just want to have this car semi-reliable and be able to just enjoy driving and racing it for the winter time. Its spent far to much time and money over the past 8 months in workshops

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
