well the real thanks gos to SST who built, tuned and helped with my car the whole way. Realy wanted to prove a point with the WOLF 3D and standard injectors. they are not maxed out yet and im not running massive rail pressure.

On a side note, can anyone tell me why you would run a cold car on a power run? when its still in cold start, explain that to me and speedworks please.

Another lesson learnt for the people chasing big HP in there RB25s.

Im waiting to start modding next year when im a bit more settled. Ive got my company car so the skyline only goes out on weekends and rarely cos fuel costs heaps here and cops are harsh and the poor road surfaces are extremely dangerous. Ive noticed perth roads to be much smoother, ive had some close calls here with little bumps and irregularities on the road surface causing the car to lose traction n get sideways :D

It will be long term but the Plans for it now are to get the engine rebuilt with aftermarket rods and pistons, head porting,aftermarket camshafts and gears. PowerFC, Trust T51ZR and a external wastegate (not to atmo). Ill probably get a larger full 4 inch exhaust and try and make it a bit quiet. I want around 550 rwhp which will see my 32 comfortably into the 10s.

Im at the moment very content with my car though so im not too worried.

Nice result :D However I hear that dyno reads high :|

and Tristan dude - you have the dirtiest engine bay in the world! If it wasn't making f*cken awesome power like that I'd be paying out on the filth :D hehehe

Once again standard injectors are proven to be able to cope with well above the 300+ rwhp misnomer amount. :( Great stuff.

no award for a dirty engine bay, its not that bad it just that i dont have bling.

did you or want to check my gate for carbon??

Tristans car was good for us as his car is used for work as is and runs pump BP and the only car that beat him was on race fuel and running major boost but still was an outstanding power maker.Yesterdays cars had to run stone cold but today the took them out side and warmed them up and we all know an engine at full temp makes a lot more power and PAS would not let us put Tristans car on warmed up today(Yes they realy did run tristans car cold on cold start and ppl would have seen the fuel smoke)

We were sad we could not take Ants dat to the shop last nite to fit the cooler and tune it as PAS management would not let us.

Lukes car ran 494rwhp on a DYno Dynamics a couple nights previous, so the reading were on the high side, but still two standout performances from Tristan and Luke:cheers:

Sorry Paul I don't agree - i would put my money on a hub dyno reading more accurately than a roller dyno.

And if it was reading a little high - then all figures for all cars are a little high - so Tristans would be to high as well???? What did Tristans make at SST during tuning???

Can't people just say "Top Effort" without having to make excuses or add there opinion.

588 was a top effort - no matter what fuel he used, how much the car was warmed up, etc ......

apparently tristan's made ~430 on sst's dyno? i agree with paul....

can someone confirm....?

i agree with you tho dan when you say its a big effort....because it is....

maybe the extra power on all the cars is a result of no tyre slippage on the dyno?? could that have that much effect?

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
