I haven't yet needed/been able to to rev mine past 7000, maybe I'm driving too soft Pete!

Would be interesting, but I doubt it can flow much more air than it currently does at that rpm on a big capacity, hence why dump mod didn't change much?

I use do take MI e to 8.5 or 9k.

whichever the limiter was set at.

went good.

Before the build I could hit 10k with not trouble, because I was too slow to grab 2nd the first time I booted it :)

Even when the T78 was changed for the 6262 it was limited at 9.5k and no trouble getting there. I could never stop myself from testing it :/

Maybe there is also some cam adjustment for a bit more grunt as I do not need anymore than 7000rpm.

Can dialing the cams make much difference for response, there might be something left with a bit of tweaking ??

Still not responsive enough?

Shouldve gotten a M3 or C63 AMG with this amount of money.

Limiter a day keeps the doctor away. Gotta make sure its still there

I did not want another car, I like this one!

Dead a long time Mate , might as well do one really stupid thing in your life :)

That's why they limit them, so you can check it out when needed .

Should have got RIPS NZ to build you a 3.2L would still rev to 9000rpm :P

shoulda coulda woulda, but I didn't and what would I do with 9k , thats why I went this way. I did speak to them earlier but I still needed someone to pull it down and put it together and fix it if shit happens

No mate it will all be good, nice looking R that holds the road and goes pretty quick, early :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

Why?

The bottom end hasn't flung apart. The only possible reasons for the rpm limit are turbo restriction, or ignition issues, or potentially the cam settings.

All a bottom end has to do is stay in one piece, everything else actually makes the power.

^^^^^^^

If I wanted big power I would have gone bigger bolt ons.

After I do the fuel mods and flex tune I can bump it up if I ever wanted without costing and arm and leg, because I have already spent the arm and leg :whistling:

We aren't saying you did want big power. We are saying that the other guy is off point by suggesting another builder would have it rev to 9k with the same parts

I understood what you said and even the 2.6 that CRD built that was in my car , was strong and rev it's head off, or your head off.

I believe the 3.2 motor they built me is as good as most.

It seems more blokes want the top end bigger power and I understand why, it is exciting when it kicks in and when you have the revs up.

I thought about doing some Hill climb events once the car was 100% and watched some more hill climb vids this morning, that was the end of that idea, they take it pretty serious and rip! Do they have any geriatric events or do they have a different class for the mug drivers ??

Ummmm not necessarily.

Why not, I guess it is what you think is expensive, poke in a new suitable turbo and maybe different cams dial them in and tune , E85 and away you go. I wish :)

I am not talking a 900 HP car but it should be pretty good

I have better expectations for mine as it is set up now and if it does not meet them I will change whatever.

To get it going set it for 2000rpm. There's your response.

SET WHAT ?, I take it you are joking and pulling my leg ?

If not, Do a Pauline, please explain :/

You know that I know nothing much about modifying cars, only what I have been learning while on SAU. I know more now in 18 months than I ever knew about cars and that is not a lot.

Up until now, I just buy them, drive them, brakes down someone fixes them, it was easy, only had to have the NRMA card with you :)

    • R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?
    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
