Stacey's R32 GTR won this weekends dyno comp at Autosalon.

Her GTR was run in the qualifiers on Saturday and had a severe misfire due to a broken spark plug insulator (the white ceramic bit) on no.2 cylinder, but still managed a figure of 407 AWKW. We changed the plugs Sunday morning had her all iced up, and put some race fuel in her, keen to break 500 AWKW. But to no avail......as the last car to run before the finals was finishing its run, a power surge through the building destroyed the electronics on the dyno.....As the power figure in the qualifiers was the highest...by 43 kw....she took 6/5 cylinder class as well as highest outright power. The "tough as nails" trophy was also earned, as top judged toughest car at the show.

"Ask any real racer, It doesnt matter whether you win by an inch or a mile, winnings winning." :lol:

Nice work

Yeah but its almost winning by default.....A VL there was running low boost in the qualifiers and made 366 RWKW....he missed his chance to have a shot at us......he's probably thinking he should have won......but we had a lot more power in reserve.......we also missed our opportunity to show what the car was really capable of. Thats the reason we entered the dyno comp.....not to win trophy's....thats just a bonus if you get to take something home.

I think it would have been hollow had you run, then the power surge occured before your competitors, not giving them a run at all against your 6cyl run.... I think the though as nails is deserved.

Hope you have a sau sticker on there :)

Thanks everyone. I am happy. We always strive to have TWOOGLE running at its best, so we just felt like kickin ourselves when we realised the plug was broken......when all along a had a nice set of race plugs very handy in my handbag.......Trust a girl to come prepared, but forget what she has at the bottom of her (bottomless pit) handbag!!! :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
