As for torque monster....its only 3.2L

No engine with only 3.2L to play with will be a low down torque monster

Arh yeah, you should climb into my 32 one day, only 2.6 and a massive torque monster

I was in Canberra over the weekend with the 34 doing the hill climb

You can't tune past 25 on 98, if you're lucky.

You'll get heaps more on E85. e.g. my car made 100kw more with 2-3psi increase on E85, over 98

Paul was saying something similar and I will do an E85 tune but not a lot of chances to use it here and I am happy enough with how it runs on 98, it is fun as a DD :)

It will be interesting to see what the E85 produces with this builds specs ?. Looking at some posts it seems to vary quite a bit from car to car ??

Dont get me wrong, this car gets up and goes pretty good and is easy on the bends with the more linear acceleration and the drive train seems great, smooth and planted , but pushed really hard ??????

The thing is. Why get a big hp turbo and not use it to its potential?

If you really wanted response then you could have gotten a smaller single that would spool quicker and get you to 380/400 kW

I was learning, took a T78 off and put the 6262 on and it went much better, still not happy BUT accept for the cams I kept most of the bolt ons and did the 3.2 build. If I am not happy I will do something about it,.

But for now happy enough, tomorrow ???

On petrol? As said earlier, you're really boost limited on 98, WHICH HE IS ON ATM!

Give the bloke a chance to get it drunk and turn the wick up.

I can't see a smaller turbo on 98 getting close to the 400 mark.

Far too many guys just look at the peak number. I'm sure if guys got in it and drove the thing they would get out pretty impressed. Midrange grunt > topend. Keep the top end for pissing in your mates pockets in the pub.

Wow. Tell us what you really think Paul.

Anyways. Wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't hell bent on response. But now it's a double standard.

Not my car.

Paul never says what is on his mind, wimpy fag !

Where is the double standard ?

I expected more but happy with what I have, it is a well balanced DD, goes quick and holds the road like shat to a blanket, all good :wub:

Just a couple of tweaks and :)

Its all good, like Paul said no doubt it will be a torque monster. More boost and ethenol will make heaps of difference. If your spark is failing which sounds like it may be the case, id consider getting a Morris tech ignitor like myself and Paul (I know you already have spitfire coil packs).

And I agree with Micks post.. CRD are a rip, I've seen some of their invoices and they prey on the unknowing. And their tunes are not the best in the business.

Best result would be.

Get password, take to UE, get re-tune.. Happy days.. If they built the engine properly, it won't blow up

$1600 :(

It is hard being in this situation, I have an expensive build and once I change shops my warranty goes out the window and the new shop does not put their warranty on the car ?

There are a few things I am not happy with and will try and work it out first.

And 1600 for a petrol tune is f**king bullshit.

If they gave me 1600 to tune my car I'd still tell them to stick it

Edit 1600... Still f**ked

you get the invoice after the tune , what the f**k can you do

The 34 has built in ignitors, the Mojo LS2 kit is what i'm going to get

I'm sure it is torquey.....for a 2.6

but compare it to...oh I dunno a blown 6.2 LSA...both at road speeds and revs.

That's what I was getting at

Going to get it all done and dusted and work out what I want to do.

I will get the E85 flex tune soon.. and when I am getting that done I ask about ignitors . Spitfire coils any good ?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
