So is everyone Batting XSPEED now that Ant has gone there.

It was SST - now its XSPEED - don't you love the biase on internet forums.

hahhahahahahahahahaha

Why wouldn't you go where they have one of the best tuners and best engine builders?

SAUWA support both HyperDrive and Xspeed (to be announced at official sponsors soon):( If north of the river then HyperDrive is much closer, if south of the river then Xspeed are closer. These are two businesses we feel will provide good service, so are happy to recommend either:D

Paul - because they have never been upto par - one person doesn't change a shop.

One of the best tuners / engine builders was also working at SST and look at the mess they left.

I hope XSPEED are a good shop now.

BUT i'm not convinced.

They have in fact replaced 70% of there staff and are in new premises, and Xspeed have produced alot of top cars in there time, simply look at the number of covers on HPI and Hot4s etc. A number of shops were keen to get Ant on board when SST closed, and he wasn't the one that pulled the plug on the business.

The grand opening of Xspeed is going to be on the 26th of June, come down you may be surprised at how well run the place is:cheers:

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
