Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

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

i hear ya Scottie re spending money in workshops and not being able to drive it.

Reliability is one of the key pillars for me.

Power comes third after handling as well

You're too smart ants. I always chase the power first lol. Ah well. Mine only really goes fast in straight lines anyways.

If i was more into mountain runs etc I'd not have made the modifications I have.

Mountain runs are more fun. :-P

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.

Put a big single on it make bulk power and scare the sheet out of people when it comes on, like tony said Martin only makes 320ish woopy do, how are you supposed to have a circle jerk over those kind of figures.

There is parts of me that really want to get involved in it. However the exact events that happened to Zac are really what keeps me away. I think Ideally aswell, my car in its current state has to much power and isnt responsive enough to have good mountain runs

He also beat you at the drags - with those figures.

Your car is probably beyond the point of mountains now. Doesn't turn fast enough and probably isn't responsive enough. You really need a light chassis with power that's readily available. It's the proven formula. Learning how to use a steering wheel will prevent falls.

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

More to the point, I had a poorly tuned stock ls1... Like I said woopy do, if you don't have cubes but have the technology why put a potato in your exhaust?

Get a big evil turbo and turn the numbers everyone likes to see lol

    • 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.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
