I saw most of the cars this arvo on a cruise in the city ... some very nice marques indeed!!!

[Busky2k]

Drags tonight? I thought it was drift practice tonight?!

[Nightcrawler]

nope, it's the Wednesday night street meet .... I am not racing - I am pitting

[Maxx]

opp! i think someone is taking his GTR there isn't it?

[Nightcrawler]

there may have been a silver GTR there .... and Chops ran an impressive 13.6 run in his VY Calais on his first time out.

My dad is co-driving with Jack Brabham but I've got uni exams/work every day till Sunday so I'm missing it all

[Shrub32]

Hey Chops,

Congrats on the 13.6. Good effort for the first time out.

Cheers,

Stu

i checked it out at the paddock a bit after work on wednesday

Sunday, ill head up to clarendon to check it out as they give it some stick

[whatsisname]

What the!? Why wasn't I informed Will, Andrew??? Please explain? Damn it I would've been keen to see Will run. Congrats on the 13.6 mate! What mph and 60ft?

Did John run the street GT-R?

And my car was ready to run too! HKS cams tuned and all... gotta love that cammy idle

[Busky2k]

How much extra power did you get with the cams, whatisname?

[whatsisname]

The mid range picked up ~15rwkw and top end has improved by 20rwkw (before/after back to back comparo).

As expected, torque is also up and it comes on boost even harder now - which is not so good for the drag strip!

The actual peak figure it made is a bit misleading as it wasn't holding boost up top... but still a peak of 270rwkw on 16psi was quite good If I can get it to hold 20-21psi for the drag strip I'll be happy... may need to play with the wastegate actuator. I'd estimate ~300rwkw on 20-21psi on Shaun's new dyno. Or about 315 give or take on the old one.

If it won't hold boost then there's nothing left to do but get a bigger turbo or just accept that I can't have good response and big top end. I don't really want to sacrifce mid range for top end either. High 200's to 300 is more than enough for me.

Seat of the pants shows it a lot stronger in the mid range (can feel the torque increase). I love the idle too

The drag strip will tell the full story.

just accept that I can't have good response and big top end.

ill show ya me new engine then Matt ....you'd be suprised

[Cubes]

Bit off topic..

Your cams Matt.. Care to share the specs?

I am interested in how they affect fuel consumption.

I want a little more than you Matt.

Good fuel consumption, response, good mid range and great top end.

270rwkw on 16psi is a top effort.

How does your turbo pull up against Freebaggin's turbo response and boost build wise? I remember freebaggin said he had 17psi in by 3450rpm.

Thats quite early.
