What is CAMS C3?

Yeah, and the guy with the red ribbon around his neck isn't doing much either. Who let carlo near the matches again?

I'll drive down with the white streamers on the bonnet for you. Where are we going to meet for the drive down Christian?

Was the XR8 a Barra? I'm working with all Ford fans here and was wondering what power they have. Jimbo, what mods do you have to make ~200kw? Mark

Brendan, i've applied to take all 3 days off from work. I'll let you know if they will let me - they love me at work

Funny you should mention that boostd, I've asked them on a few occasions what the specs were on my high flow and they said they didnt know and would have to ask Precision (the company they sent it off to to get done). I havent got an answer yet. It makes 0.8bar at about 4k, under that it feels doughy I mentioned the turbo you built (I read the thread about your turbo build) and they said it wasnt a good idea to go down that path. They would sell me a brand new HKS2430 or 2540 for $2500. I'm currently wondering what to do.

Yeah, Thats why im looking to get a HKS2530. SkydneyKid thinks they are the bees knees and are a better alrounder than the 2540.

Do custom manifolds help at all - I just want to complete my car, get it tuned, and then leave it.

3" HKS catback exhaust + hi flow cat and front/dump pipe (probably no-name brands). FMIC I think is Micks metalcraft I also have regulator, pump, profec b, powerfc, clutch, adj cam sprocket (which wasnt touched in the tune), non ball bearing high flow standard R33 turbo, pod filter.

Indeed Hicks. I've got a Z32AFM now (standard was maxing out) and i'm just thinking about getting a HKS2530 turbo to replace my high flowed one. I've never been to unigroup (or whatever the place is called) but from feedback on this forum they seem to be quite good. Maybe I should get my car checked out by them first with a list of recommendations of what to fix/replace. Getting the car tuned is expensive

I've got a high flowed standard R33 turbo along with the stuff you have on your car (I have a powerFC though) and tuned at .8bar it only managed 252rwhp. I asked if it could get anywhere near 300 if I increased the boost to 1.1bar and they said youd be lucky to get 280. The car seems to be holding back.

PM got through this time

How much boost did you need to achieve that figure? Must be something wrong with my car

What is the formula to achieve 400rwhp? My injectors (also stock items) were at 72% duty at 250rwhp on 0.8bar boost. I've been told by my mechanic not to run more that 1.1bar boost through my high flowed turbo (R33) because of my internals. 300rwhp would be nice if I knew how to reach it. Mark

Where are you located, how many KMs has it done, what sort of condition is it in? If your in Sydney, can we get the turbo checked out by our local mechanic? Mark

I guess we have to be nice and shiny too? I.E. collar'd shirt, tie, long pants, dressy shoes. How long does it take to drive from the northern beaches to the gong? 2hours? Mark

What time will you be heading down there Christian? I work Saturdays until 11:30am... will I have to take the day off work or will I be able to make it on time? BTW, want some company on the drive down? Mark

Congratulations Adrian and Taryn! I'll help on your special day by driving down to the 'gong in my R33. Anyone else keen to help Adrian out from the Northern Beaches? Mark

i'll answer that Dom, hes from the northern beaches. Mark

I would like to know what this is since I was under the impression the PFC doesn't have any Detenation controlled timing retard.... Thats what he told me, i've got no idea if its true or false - it sounded safe to me so I was happy. Mark

Firebladejr, I got my powerFC tuned at Procar in Dee Why. They set up my fuel system (I had a fuel pump and regulator installed a few days prior to the tune). The guy who tuned it took about 4 hours on the dyno whilst I sat in the passenger seat watching the engine check light for him while he did his maths and explained what he was doing. After he was happy with the tune he reduced the timing by 2 and set a safety net somehow so if the powerfc notices very very unlikely readings it will handle things so the engine doesn't blow. I requested that the tune had to be on the safe side becuase I havent got the $$ to buy another engine in 6 months time. He told me he does this to every job. bbenny is another to ask on the forums about procar. He has a HKS powered R32 and has used procar for a dyno run. I think he was getting a safc tuned there are well. Mark

You have a 400r kit on your car dont you Tony? If you had a choice now, what kit would you want to get? Mark

Where did that come from?

We are talking the falcon ones from the pre AU model? I was going to get 2 old ones from the wreckers if they will fit and be better than stock rims.

Have you still got those rims doc? would they fit my car, and would they be better than stock R33 rims for the strip? Mark
