ooooo.... you suck!!! ok, well then I'm back only to bribing you with beer... its all I have left. Take it.. Take my last beer. (how sad my life has now become...)

Ahh. ok. Well if its just spacing the subframe down then we already knew about that - but apparently this is no good for roll-centre.. (as to how ~much~ it affects it I don't know). Perhaps then he's done a drop of 3mm on the engine mounts and just 2mm on the subframe to give an effective 5mm drop - which might be just enough? Can anyone comment on how 'bad' dropping the sub frame really is? 2-3mm doesn't sound like much but a 5mm ride height change from front to rear is noticable by many, so this may or may not be a bad geometry change.. ?

Doing this on Motec. Primary Table is based on MAP vs RPM. Then a second load table which is TP vs MAP. The second load table only has load points between 80 to 120kpa (ie either side of 100kpa is where the problem happens) Looked at full blown 4D mapping which the Motec can do, but loads more to do and while its probably great if you do lots of logging and fine tuning, I think the first method will cover the problem ok.

Well... that's me out of ideas. I've stared long and hard at those photos and I can't see anything that gives me a clue. Does the bonnet really close?? I'm out.

Hey there Greg. Interesting that you wrote this as it brings up a question I've wanted to ask. I am about to buy a Tomei Pump for 'insurance' that my current N1 Pump doesn't break - however I wonder what are the disadvantages (if any) of having the larger pump besides its price. I have a winged 9Litre Performance Metalcraft sump. People talk about the Tomei 'running the sump dry' but this makes no sense to me unless they are running massive pressure... if the pressure is adjusted on Tomei to a similar pressure of the N1, then (given the same motor) the flow should be near identical should it not? ie the Tomei will bypass all the extra flow straight back to the sump? And if so, is this a problem? Long ago I looked at replacing the N1 gears with the Reimax ones. The reason I bought the N1 in the first place was because the RB26 already seems to suffer from too much oil going to the head (so everyone puts restrictors in). So there didn't seem to be any point going to the higher volume pumps given the clearances that are run. So is the only real reason to put a Tomei in for the strength of its gears? And for the fact that is has this '3 gear' design which might be a little more forgiving on any crank wobble? Or is it actually "better" to run an N1 size pump with Reimax (or JPC etc) gears for strength.. Lets forget price for a moment, lets just say you could buy either for the same price: 1. Tomei with the pressure kept down (and hence less oil pumped to the head) 2. N1 with very strong gears. (guys this is not a N1 vs Tomei or Nitto or JUN question - just a question of High Pressure/Volume vs 'needs' of the engine I guess) Thoughts?

Ok! I think I've nailed it this time!............. You didn't lower the motor at all! You raised the bonnet!! ....and the guards....! .......and er, the doors - which would then lead around the boot - so you must have raised that too I suspect... yesssssss.... that's it I think..... No one doesn't not call me a lateral thinker..! (!) ...I'm up to a Carton and half now...

Ahhh. So you cut and re-welded the sump to make more room?? And then drilled the engine mounts to lower it? From the pics it also looks like you've lowered the twin-turbo pipe perhaps.. Hmm... 1 carton plus a 6-pack?

Alright I'll start the ball rolling with the obvious question: So! How did you get the motor to fit? I will gladly pay one carton of beer (of your choice) for this information in detail!

hmm... 3mm. Any danger of hitting it when the engine torques? Have you got the front cam cover on it with the bonnet down?

Whoa, whoa, whoa... now you've got my attention. Tell me more - how is it you have no bonnet issues? What Modded Engine Mounts? Sump still clearing the crossmember??

Nah, sorry mate, 1000cc injectors are way bigger than I need and I have already bought and installed Sard 700cc items. Not looking to swap. Cheers.

I have 6x Bosch 363 injectors for sale in excellent condition. Have only done about 5000km's and I bought them brand new. Reason for sale is I have done more modifications and they are just starting to get to their max duty cycle. These are 550cc injectors and are capable of around 550-600hp at the engine. They are a very low impendance (0.5ohm) high performance injector with very good response. Cost me $150 each, looking for $550 for all 6 of them.

Woohoo! DMS arrived as promised and as described. I feel like I'm doing half a second a lap better already and I haven't even driven the car yet. Thanks Bek.

DMS as good as sold Bek. You have PM.

Ditto for me, but the biggest issue for me is that I can't get the front Cam Wheel Cover on and have had to cut the supports under the bonnet to get the lid to shut. Marko - what have you done here? Have you been able to close the bonnet and get the front cover on without chopping the bonnet supports up?

You really need to lose 200kg's.. That will fix everything. Yeah the response isn't bad. At a guess, having driven a mate's 26 with GT-SS, I'd say its similar in response to that. Its not like a V8 in terms of throttle response or anything - but its pretty good. You're welcome to come have a look anytime. Will be down at AHG (sorry, RAC now..) at the end of this month if you want to check it out.

I have 2860r -5's on mine, so very similar to 2530's. Makes 460rwhp and has great midrange. Also using Mines dumps.

Update: For anyone else searching for this info in the future, I thought I'd post up what I found. I ended up sending an injector to Motec for 'chracterisation'. So basically they put it on a test rig at various voltages and fuel pressures and then come up with a compensation table to suit. Note that the Sard 700cc is actually a Denso Injector rebadged. They said to ignore the 6Bar readings here, as on the day they had an issue with the test rig.. but probably not too many people will be running 6bar fuel pressure..

Weeelll Hello Gav! I should have just rung you! Unfort though the units I am taking out are 0.5ohm (very low impedance) and the Sards measure 2.3ohms.. So while they are both considered "low impendance" they're a fair bit different. Plus Motec have a swanky Battery compensation curve applied to Injectors they know about so that it alters the pulse width to suit if the voltage swings up or down.. ie 11.7 volts or 13.3volts can obviously have an effect on how fast the injector reacts and how much fuel it delivers. I am thinking if I pick another injector in their known list with similar size and impedance then I might get away with it... But just in case, someone here must be running this combo and done the research? Catch you this Sunday anyhow!

Hi guys, Have an M800 on my car and have just bought Sard 700cc injectors (Denso 195500-0830).. as the Bosch units I have in there are running out of capacity. In order to set them up in Motec, you need to know certain characteristics about them. Motec have a list of 'known' injectors which you can select from but as luck would have it, these aren't on their list. Has anyone had theirs tested and can you supply a Battery Compensation table and/or what other settings to use for them? I can apparenlty send one off to Motec for testing.. but it takes a few weeks to get them back! Cheers!

Damn it!! I forgot all about this.... I needed a fix too... ...oh well, maybe catch the next one...
