Turn the wick up a bit further and there is 500. At 25.5 psi it isn't "nosing over" as such. Give it 30-32 and it bust through that 500 kW mark.

You are such a boy !!! lol

When is the car finished, box in and going yet ?

Got a video of the box going from N to 1 to 2 tonight. Quick dyno session for health/tune reasons then pickup

Well done for sticking it out pete, awesome result and a credit to jez. man i can only hope im still into these cars as much as you are by the time im your age. I would love to see you flying down the road in this it would make my day.

Just look at the roof there will be a wheel chair strapped on it, but a red one, very fast :)

^^^ LOL @ the CRD fan boii! You've done nothing but defend them all along and are still trying to!

The result is night and day and goes to show who does the hard yards to get their customers the results they paid for! GTFO out of this thread!

you've done nothing but bash them like a complete twat.

I just don't sit behind a keyboard being high and mighty. Many people had differing opinions of what could of been the issues, none of which we would of known until the car was looked at by Jez. Now we know.

Not once have I defended them, just put another option of opinion, un like you, who clearly just want to voice your blind one sided opinion on the internet.

If you still think any business is successful because of poor customer service or unhappy customers, you're delusional.

I'm happy that Pete's car is doing what he wanted it to do now.

And Pete, not once have I said you've bashed them, it's people like Mick who have done that.

Mate, I know you have not said I bash them, it is over with, lets move on:/

As soon as I get it I will see if I can warm those tyres up :)

Don't bother mate, this 'garage wars' shit has always happened, not worth giving it fuel.

Might be asking you the same question Pete if you launch with that much mumbo. Not sure what the Getrag is good for.

Guess I will have to find out, if it goes tits up I can borrow Pauls 88 , until mine gets here:/

They seem to hold the power quite well... That torque though... Not sure.

Damn Pete, should have kept to a 2.6L... Pfft!

The way it was, I was never worried about the box, I will have to drive it for a while and get the feeling, hope I make it home, I know I will not be able to help myself ,lol

Won't be revving it to 7k and dropping the clutch I don't reckon.

You just never know, but I will get a little movement first before letting it go, smokem :devil:

haha, I will work my way up and see how it goes, just want to finally feel it pulling hard :whistling:

theres no war going on here, just facts and back to back comparison on the same dyno from one person working on it to the next

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
