Ohh so no T88 or anything nutso Fatz???

Heheh seriously Tosh, I remember wondering why so many freight planes leaving bankstown over the weekend, (truthfully quite a few were active) taking extra slabs down to keep fatz happy ehh?? hahah fatz reminds me of a simpsons episode which goes HOMER -All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer, thats what it's like with you and your day job ehh fatz?? hehehe

mmm beer

big single would be nice

but looks like merlis turbos have just found a new home

but the best part is that i still have one good turbo from the gtr

will convince nath to put it on the capella engine and se if he can blow it up

might hit more than 110 down wakefield straight then!!!!!

na nath bought a 1975 mazda capella 4spd coupe when i killed the motor in my car nath offored to let me drive it at wakefield for the day

was great hit 110 down the straight spun out once and even overtook a r34gtt (sure it was his fist lap and he was probably only using 1st and second but still got him)

i love that car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well from the feedback in this thread i've booked my car in with Nathan next Wednesday to take a look at a vacuum leak problem I have (damn these trackdays, costs me $1,500 in repairs afterwards for each circuit day :D). Looks like it could be a manifold gasket or somewhere in near the injectors, will know next wednesday arvo I guess ;)

Ah well whilst it's there i'll get a few other bits n pieces done to make it all feel worth it.

Thanks for the info.

    • Mount some of these on your dash? https://www.greddy.com/products/16001720  
    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
