Posts: 154Better than that in the current market – Vermentino from Adelaide Hills – like a dry German riesling but more intricate and delicate. Perfect with oysters and chilled shellfish, my new release for summer 2015. 100% sales success rate.

Posts: 5 777Unusual to see the effort and level of detail you have gone into for a regularly driven interstate highway km eater. Fast and efficient, very cool.

Posts: 124It’s also awesome to see a different approach to modifying and tuning.
No forced induction or strokers or huge head+cam arrangements, just clever use of today’s technology and ecu capabilities. I hope more people go down this route for tuning, though I daresay there’s cheaper ways to make HP.
The main thing I love about this car is that other than the cost of building and Tuning, there are ZERO downsides. No loss of driveability or smoothness, and effectively a DROP in fuel consumption. A package that is very rare in the real world.

Posts: 5 777^agreed most mods you make that increase performance make the engine more efficient, and hence driven right can make it more fuel efficient. Valve event timing (especially overlap) is a big exception. That’s where the use of vvt with this rig is so cool to effectively overcome that drawback.

Posts: 154Thanks for the positive feedback, this forum rock
The other interesting thing about this build is the thermal stability when using high octane ethanol and high mechanical boost. Ambient today was 32° along the Pacific Hwy near Byron Bay:
And this is after two hour drive Gold Coast to Bangalow:

Posts: 5 777OK, saw a car like this flash by, it had personalized plates which I thought were yours, obviously not
October 9, 2015 at 10:02 am #9978They look good the lights, suprised you can get them already as a spare part. Being a led was there a wiring mod etc to get them working?

Posts: 154Even the “always 85%” ethanol is only ever 81%-83%, so I ‘splash out’ on high grade alcohol – e95 – on weekends:
For perspective, the difference between ULP91 and PULP98 is seven RON points. Take that difference, multiply it by 3x … this juice is 120 RON… yes that’s 21 points higher octane than PULP98.

Posts: 124Is that first picture a Nos Fogger????
And I thought dry sumping takes more than an accumulator, doesn’t your oil pump need to be changed out altogether?
Watching this closely…
