and its still stuggling to get any decent power :rofl:

Its so hard to listen to these whale songs... gives me a headache.

*sigh*

More power than you Mr extra 1/2 litre :)

Don't believe me? Come on down and SHOW me biaaaaatch :Bang:

Nengun reakons next Friday for my coils, so It'll be touch and go if I can beat a stocker (I'm loving 1/2 throttle).

Also, my car may not even run as it looks like we'll have WELL over our limit of cars wanting a run... and like I said I'm there every f$%^&ng week.

camma and other travlers get spots reserved of course.

Have some larger V8's comming for fun :rofl:

Well, to be honest I don't know... but Squealy's GTR put out 260 rwkws on a cranky day.

My car will splutter its way to 190ish rwkws, although it still can't do it on the road without new coils (soon as its boosts over 12 -14 psi, it dies... Nenguns have had a hold up)

ARM85 may make 120 rwkws if he is lucky... he he he

Ummm... there is a GT30 equiped VL turbo I'd expect would make some power. Plus a lot of the usual V8's and stuff (out here everyone loves their commonwores).. That said last night I had a real struggle getting past a falcon (EB-ED 1993ish)... it had some balls :D

Hopeing that Stolly will bring his R33 GTR, apparently is got some big nuts.

Top day Anthony, thanks for organising it. I rattled off 184rwkw from the 4 cylinder but with a few boost problem sorted I should be able to squeeze a little more out of it. It was good to meet a couple of the SAU lads. See you at the next one!

What were some of the other results that I missed?

Thanks for making the trip Camma!

The standout was the Maroon VL Turbo with the huge GT30 hi mount. It had to be re straped three times :burnout: and made 1333.8 NM of tourque... and 270kws :P

Ummm, other than that there were some standout shi%^ers, including the R33 running nos hacking its way to 120kws, the Yellow NAT VL which claimed 200rwkw prior to the day, and rolled 141.

Had a stocker VX S pac comp at the end, with 114 and 122 kws.

Fun day though, next one will be a lot bigger - with promo girls and stuff. Will keep you all posted on that one.

No no no gents

120rwkws - turbo with nos shot. Its sounded like a sick dog though, claimed there was more in it and HP didn't know how to use a dyno.

It sounded like it was missing, backfiring and running rich and lean all at the same time.

Yesterday another Skyline who wouldn't run on the day came in (N/A), young guy.

Ran 113rwkws - which is pretty good I thought, nice and smooth too.. Told him he should've entered, really neat car too.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
