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 ?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
