He's actually a geological engineer for a mining outfit, very smart and very friendly and helpful. He just happens to have been raised in a farming community where "pests" are shot. 

Maybe go for slightly less broad strokes with that brush of yours ;)

Oh man, the neighbour has enough guns for everyone. 

His face when I said I owned zero guns and had no interest in getting any was very obviously one of "but... what do you mean?!" whilst trying to be polite lol
 

It really is a sad state of affairs.

Not really that sad, they are just "tools" to get a job done. 

I have 2 chainsaws, not because I love chainsaws or I'm anti trees or want to cut everything down, but because I need 2 chainsaws to do my job of collecting firewood efficiently. You can argue that I should not be cutting up fallen dead trees because insects and critters could live in there etc etc, but the bottom line is, it's my property and I'm allowed to so it's my choice. 

He has sheep, foxes eat his lambs at an alarming rate, so he removes those foxes from his property. His property, his choice.

My comment about his reaction was just a laugh about two different cultures meeting, I wasn't raised on the land so my exposure to rural living is very different to his. Not right or wrong, just different.

lol, big difference between living on a property vs living on a farm. 

Farmers farm things, animals, crops etc. I just happen to live on a chunk of land that is fenced. 

Certainly more work than a house block though.

Enjoy the festival.

Rural people who shoot foxes, dogs and other ferals to protect their land I have no issues with, they usually have a few different types of weapons for different occasions, I have no issues with that.

It's the yobbos with multiple weapons that cause the issues. It's like they are compensating for their massive insecurity.

They talk about hunting but never hunt, they talk about self defence, but they end up shooting members of their family, their kids shoot themselves, or, the weapons are stolen.

Yeah, I hate guns in the hands of the average Joe bogan racist idiot......I'll stop spraying now

Well to be fair everyone was on the house bandwagon and look what happened to that...

I predicted the crash 3 years ago, wish I had the know-how to of 'shorted' the market lol

Predicting a heads or tails outcome isn't difficult, cause a stopped clock is right twice a day. People had been "predicting" a correction or bubble burst for about the last ten years...no one was able to say exactly when and those who did ended up very wrong. Too many variables to call that one...

Car was fired up as of yesterday afternoon and is running....

It should see the dyno at some point this week or next

How much power do you guys think it'll make ? Noting the head is ported & polished as well....

On E85?

No more than 340-350rwkw, but as mentioned I would not expect turbos to last. That's more -9 territory.

330rwkw is about where I'd aim as a max on ethanol, the engine and head will want to make more but those -7s wont be loving life.

When you say hitting the dyno, I'm assuming you're tuning it to clean up the richness and make it a lot nicer?

If tuning, very low 300, but it should be nice and responsive and fun as hell to drive. Will make a wicked fun daily.

Dose....twin restrictions.....good way of describing them lol

Matt we are doing a full flex tune with an Emtron, & I've got oil & fuel pressure / temp sensors in place as motor protection.

Dan, I'm a little bit gutted that it's not already single tbh....I mean 330 should make a plenty fast street car....but I'm not sure if thats enough to be "scary".... well, for my latina passengers it will be but maybe not for me after being in Piggaz car.

It's pretty annoying that for nascar grade power its nascar grade money.

I told you, you can sell the twins and do a cheap GTX single easily enough using used parts.

330 on -7s will be zippy, but not scary. Especially after your ride in Paul's car. 

I had 380 and more torque than you will make and it felt like it needed another 100kw to be honest.

You have all the other bits to throw a cheap single on and make 400+ easily enough.

You keep asking this question Benny. It’s going to be the same power as any other -7 car before it or after it, it just will be.

Is you exhaust decent or is it a Japanese Samuari nugget? 

330 kw at 24 psi. I’ll buy you a car of piss if it goes north of 340 kw at 24 psi. With no cam gears it’ll be late 4000’s/5000 rpm to reach target boost in 2nd.

How it drives sub 5000rpm now, it’s not going to change too much. A little bit not much.

Is what it is mate. ?‍♂️

Guess it depends on how much you are willing to spend and what feels normal. I get 360kw @ 22psi on e85 on -9s in my 2.6 and I love it. That feels excellent as "normal" is walking home from work on arthritic knees.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
