Been a long time

car now runs a harrop 2650 blower, it hammers hard, torque is up there at 1850 nm, makes 630rwhp on 14 psi and 16 degrees timing in it, air temps are bit warm so goin to work on that, few things to tidy up like water lines and and few other bits and pieces, hopefully get to take it to the strip soon when it opens back…[Read more]

This is looking very neat

Sorry I can not upload photos, maybe someone who has me on FB can load some up

Been a long time since I last posted, since then I have driven the car a heap, and then few months ago it under sent more surgery

it now is painted in a wild colour shifting paint that I did at home my self in a home made spray booth

Also with cars comes great fellow rev head mates, iv become good friends with tuners engine builders, drag…[Read more]

Good choice on goin to a solid cam I say

That’s all secret mans business

it definitely goes ok and Iv got a few other things to get more from it yet as well

Did some work on the Monaro and now it makes 303rwkw from the LS1

not a bad effort at all

Cheers have been waiting to see that episode

How long till this thing is goin ?

Your running a LS pcm so why would you use a Davis craig controller for thermos ?

Just set it in the tuning program to where you want it to cut on and off

these simple things is why I brought Efi live my self, perfect example the other week my Monaro wouldn’t start properly and I knew my key was dodgie as

turned off the vats for a try…[Read more]

yes the reg is boost reffenced at 1:1

pressure was at 50psi above manifold pressure so when cranking pumps it was 50psi, while ideling it’s around 42psi and watching it on dyno as soon as throttle is touched it goes to 50 and climbs with boost up to 63psi

it maxed out around 430rwkw

we cranked it up to 55psi above manifold pressure so…[Read more]

Gary you sound be the best bloke in the world and pull your ID injectors out and get them flowed for me to see how there numbers compare to what is advertised

give you a drive if my car if your ever up this way if you do so

I would of expected Bosch flow rates to be accurate as well but they are way off, I was extremely supprised at how low they actually flowed and don’t know how they can be advertised as 1000cc when they are not even 80% of that

yeah I will keep searching, Thing is 1300cc  injector dynamics cost more then 2 arms and a leg and I don’t know of…[Read more]

I was goin injector dynamics till I seen 1300-1600 are $2000+

if i I can find someone with a set of the injector dynamics 1050x and flow them to see what they actually flow then I would get them at $1000 or so

I’m just having trust issues after my current 1000cc only flow 780 or so cc at 43.5 psi

if the ID do flow 1065cc at 43.5psi…[Read more]

Yeah Gary’s that’s exactly right

turns out it’s been nearly 5 years since I brought the clutch and it’s done around 4000km now

mal is looking for 8 or 10 point cushion button plate I can just throw into it witch will hold even more power then the old plate or I can just buy another organic plate $300 witch is cheap as

to me spending…[Read more]

I do totally agree but It’s more a cost thing a the moment

it’s coming into perfect driving weather and already up for $1800 for a set of injector dynamic injectors and dont have another $2500 o top of that for the clutch right now, plus the Monaro is getting a cam in a couple weeks as well so funds are getting hammered

so will take the…[Read more]

A good twin plate will happen one day but for now I’m just goin to get a cerametalic plate for my current clutch

only $350-$400 for a plate and is rated to 450rwkw

my current clutch has been great rated at 400rwkw with a organic plate

yes Gary I will be takin it down the strip soon but don’t see my self even getting a 10 second pass in…[Read more]

So got back into it this afternoon

have now fitted a new m80 diff with 3.7 gears and true trac and fitted my old m80 with 4.11 into my Monaro

Did a run and was 420 rwkw at around 6000rpm and fuel system on the limit

bumped up fuel pressure 5psi and still went around the 420rwkw but was breaking down top end

closed plug gaps from…[Read more]

My interia doesnt come out any more

should probley look…[Read more]
