  1. As much as I hate to admit it his car does run 12.8's and he hasn't spent much on it (although this is in a small way due to the fact that he works a at performance shop). He has a big fuel pump and an ecu remap, possibly a fuel reg with higher pressure to extend the facotry injector limits. R32-GTS, lets get back to being civil, you have some good information to contribute to those with the RB20's (not that we need anymore whale bashing)
  2. Talk is cheap. And judging from your comments you must have just come back from a shopping spree.
  3. you have an aftermarket ecu? If not larger injectors aren't going to be an option. The rx7 ones are top feed and will require a new fuel rail (not a big deal). You could perhaps get an adjustable fuel reg and big fuel pump to start with tho.
  4. adrain, yes the more muscle you have the heavier you get, as they say it weighs more than fat. Power to weight ratio is king in the sprints. The method of my training however means that I will have maximum strength for muscle volume, unlike the 'deforming' process used in body building. This way you can have realistic goals based on strength rather than how you look in the mirror. The principle is basically to tear the muscle fibre in larger sections at once rather than tearing it in smaller sections in lots of little places. This means if you train your quads on one excersie you do not go and train them again for a upto a week. The Do's and don'ts *Do train heavy, aim for 6 or fewer reps per set. *Don't do more than 2 heavy sets, even 1 might be ok. *Do allow your hart rate to drop to 'rest' between sets. *Don't 'warm up' with a cardio focused workout. *Don't do ANY weights the next day or any day until you are satisfied your trained muscle groups have recovered. None of this do back monday, chest tuesday crap. * Don't "hit your muscle from every angle" in the workout. Pick 1 excercise eg; leg press not legpress then squats then extensions. * Do REST alot. Allow time for FULL recovery. The best thing about this workout strategy is that it works well on even a crap diet (works even better with a good diet) because of the recovery principle.
  5. 33,spec2. No. didn't race, no point for anyone.
  6. hello non-gimps (see thread on RX7 promblems in general discussion) I've had a grrreat day! I burnt out the nitrous solenoid and broke another microswitch. Some funny fellow in a black R33 with a NISMO fmic tried to run the volvo in the wet (I'm sure he thought I was going to race him --- up a hill on a wet road with three small kids in the back?)
  7. Rotory owner = gimp? It's a theory I guess.
  8. This thread already exists on forced induction section. Why not shut it down?
  9. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get a cheaper alternative to a genuine NOS nitrous solenoid? Mine is cooked so I'll need to get another gas solenoid. Just wondering if the solenoids used on LPG systems or something could be used.
  10. Split dump pipe is a superfluous modification, a well made one peice is just as good and often cheaper on the stock turbo.
  11. DanS15, the BOV is not the reason for the wheelspin, or lack of it. Everything I say is wrong btw. Areograce, Never said fmic's were not a performance mod. But, you keep telling people thats what I think cause from now on I follow your advice.
  12. Dluded, why not go ask the people on the rotory forums about the so called 'problems' after all they are owners of the vehicles. For my 2c the rotory is an excellent engine with great reliabillity based on my long term experience. In the hands of a deadhead they will have problems. If your a deadhead then avoid them, for the sake of their reputation.
  13. sydneykid, if they go to 'your dyno' maybe they might get an idea. What if they are in Mexico city at a few thousand feet above sea level? BTW a statistically valid sample is greater than 30, your only 10 cars away.
  14. I think this we should make a 'neons and BOV's' section for these kinds of threads. Aftermarket BOV's aren't a performance mod.
  15. you may remember me from such threads as.... danska cream massacre.. The pointy end of the viking helmet.. And this one.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...highlight=volvo
  16. Donkey calf at 470kgs now. Tricep pushdowns at 120kgs. Just started leg press ,target 500kgs --- nooooooo! I probably will run 16 seconds when I finally hit the track and I'll be pissed!
  17. I have a stock BOV because I could care less about making noise to attract police and sounding like every wrx out there. I have an interest in going quick, so no 'rice boy' gear for me. The stock BOV is as good as any BOV on the market.
  18. you can use the 'screw adjustment' on the emanage to start with for a small amount of adjustment out of the box and without harness and software. However with the harness and software it allows a full 16x16 map of fuel and ignition and many other features.
  19. The kms are often genuine but, the fact is the engine has done many more hrs. The hours of the engines are high to to the traffic in Japan. The stand still traffic conditions 'carbon up' the engine on top of the poluted air.
  20. loraine, 10.3 in the R32? Sorry haven't heard of a local R32 with that sort of time. Got some mph and 60ft times? Sounds like a real beast.
  21. maybe you might like to settle for my car? The legendary 95' (last of the series 1's). With 12 second potential out of the box and a handy NOS kit for the animal in you looking for an 11 on a stock turbo. It even has a drivers airbag for making crashes more exiting.
  22. Perhaps you'd like a second thrashing at the hands of my volvo wagon, complete with two baby seats?
  23. Good thing you don't live in perth then isn't it. this is the offender. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...=&postid=227796 the reason to be afraid. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...=&postid=152494 very afraid... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...=&postid=152497 Just another point my freind. Magazine reviews of a cars 400m performance are not conducted at a real drag strip, as such they are a poor measure of the reality. I believe the best 'stock' XR6T time I have seen on a 'real' drag strip was mid 14's, with good traction.
