rev210,

I managed to beat that R34 last time, I think I got lucky though. You better be quick though, sounds like he has got a big turbo and race tyres on order.

I doubt that the S-AFC will get you to 12's or 113mph, but you could be the fastest stock-tubo GTS-t around.

See'ya:burnout:

Unless your using a shitload of Toluene, I can't see it making much difference unless you adjust your base timing. You should be able to run more advance with it in. But you weren't running full boost last time were you?

Maybe it's time for that FMIC?haha.

See'ya:burnout:

20% or so is all that will be necessary. 4L in 20L of fuel is quite an eye opener. I suggest you try it.

I think I'll buy some nice rims and tyres before the fmic, after all both those mods are about looks more than anything :lol:

I ran around 10psi last time, on the 13.4 run. Thats what I consider to be 'full' boost.

Rhino,

I know he was running only a FMIC and boost, putting out 208rwhp at the dyno, but he has ordered a big turbo etc, which should be going on soon. He's after big power, and he's got the money to do it.

Rev210,

I'll be keen to see the difference that the toluene makes to your times, if the difference is noticable then I may try it myself.

See'ya:burnout:

Yeah, you can just buy it from the hardware store. rev210 has a place he uses, but most stores have it, works the same as an octane booster, but may provide more power aswell.

I'm planning on running the VP 103, but at $110 per 20 litres, it's only good for the drags.

Macka: dude most stores DON'T have it, I should know I've looked in just about all of them.

Makit Hardware in Balcatta next to marlows balcatta. bout $24 for the 4L tin. Compares nicely with the cost of VP 103 for smaller volumes and craps on it for octane and energy value, it's just not as 'green'.

It's well worth a try I have a litre in the fuel at the moment (20% mix) and it gives a good old kick.

I'm sure you will like the extra timing Macka.

Bringing two members together, I feel like a match maker.

Although Osc@r had problems with spiking I don't think this will be as bad on a stock turbo, I used one for a while and it seemed to do OK, but compared to an EBC they suck.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
