I wouldn't know Jez from a bar of soap, but if he is using shit products like cheap single layer gaskets on a high end build like this I thought I would comment.

......sorry I thought this was a forum?

Hi Chris, cars on the Dyno line up , so all good . Offered him $10 to push it up the line, something was mentioned about tight arse :O

I have no idea why the gasket was on the mani , maybe to protect the surface , he uses Silicone for this job, I did not know you could use Silicone under such extreme heat :blush: That RTV seems to be able to handle :devil:

Once you feel the E85 tune, i predict you'll be storing it up in 200L drums, even a 50% mix is probably heaps better for your setup than 98...

Paul has told me this a 1000 times, I will have to buy a trailer and pop a Tbar on the Tiida :)

It was mentioned that the E85 would work great on the setup, I guess if it was local it would be a no brainer as it also seems better for the engine.

It's going to strip a lot of crap from your fuel tank and lines. If it was dirty. And then everything will be squeaky clean.

RTV is the bomb period. Resists oils coolants and heat. Used it on my mates manifold. She was sweet.

He gave the car a run to check for leaks today and all good , so I can stop driving you blokes nuts pretty soon on this thread before the 100, then I can say :quit ur:LOL!

But I am getting nervous about the results, I do not need a lot more and just want it to run sweet and I will be stoked :yes:

I am pretty sure it goes on the Dyno tomorrow, probably fn blow up :bomb_ie:

This is what I am hoping for, keep in mind I asked for everything that could be done with what I have on the car , to go for response. If I cannot get it because of the Turbo or cams I will have them changed but I hope not to have to change anything ?

The car running sweet from turning the key to limiter

Full boost around 3500rpm

Go hard to at least 7000rpm

380KW + on 98 pump

420kw + on E85

It was 900Nm, not sure if that will change

Will I get it, who knows, have not had much luck so far , but there is always tomorrow, well in my case ?? lol

I have 260 10.8 UE custom cams.These are the same as Paul, Joey and a couple of others are using. They have a sharp ramp rate and the boys swear by them but have never been used on a 3.2,so ??

Excited

Both excited and apprehensive :/

Really do not want to put a Dyno up before I actually drive it.

I remember when I changed the cams and turbo on the 2.6 in the earlier days, there was only 7KW more but a much better car to drive. I can read the Dynos a little better now but I like to feel how it drives. Cannot wait to try it :yes:

7 kW peak grunt. Only tells half the story as you found out. What was the difference through the middle? :P

You saw the dynos and you thought it was a lot better after looking at both graphs. It felt pretty good to me , much better than the T78 that did nothing until 6000rpm+

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
