LoL, which was your car - he had plenty of cars there.

I have a pair of 25/30's but swapping them over for some 2860-7s, so if i make around 350 im a happy camper.

But yea hes pushing me to e85 and single haha doubt he wants the 9's since he has 7s and is making 355 already. He said next up is single once he gets the haltech.

9s make more power than 7s

I'm all about response. I like to sit in 4th at 100 and have near instant boost at those speeds. In Barry's 34 I had to wait a couple of secs before they did anything. It's a quick car once it gets on though.

E85 is the way to go man, even without a turbo upgrade. So much better midrange.

Lol -5s laggy must be a shit tuner...

 

Mine comes on almost instantly :)

If that was directed at me, I mean the lag as in what rpm you ramp up to full boost

I want it from 3500 max in the 26/30

I'm saying my old set up with -5s

 

A well known tuner (on this forum) tuned it and the car was a laggy pos.

 

Took it to another tuner and the car came to life, felt like it was 10 times more responsive. 

 

So I'm saying pick the right tuner :)

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
