  1. Go to a decent exhaust shop. Get a decent one made. I managed to get a 5" from the turbo back (no cat) with 1 custom made muffler in mild steel for 1k. Its quiet and doesnt drone. Forget off the shelf shit unless you want the brand name wank factor
  2. Haha. Yeah mate. Divided housing. Presents as new with surface rust from sitting on the shelf.
  3. As per title. .84 rear for a precision 6466. Suits 66mm turbi es. Dyno time only on housing. $180 plus postage. Locared in central queensland
  4. Get the entire exhaust. Remove it from your car and flog it on ebay. You can build a very very good 4" system that is very free flowing with a nice quiet note and no drone. Honestly, the off the shelf stuff is literally shart.
  5. Oem and many aftermarket manufacturers use paper gaskets. You generally have to pay a premium for multi layered steel gaskets. Piggaz is on the money. Buy the tomei set and be done with it
  6. To just say that a torque plate is required to adequately measure ring gap is not necessarily the best way to approach this issue you are spending an excessive amount of time investigating. There are so many other factors that require consideration. Fuel used? Target rpm? Target boost? Target CR? Combustion chamber and piston crown design? Engine block prep? Parent bore or Ductile iron sleeve? Piston to bore clearances used? The list just goes on and on. If you are so hung up on a torque plate and making sure the deck is square and bore is true, measure it all and make a decision from there. If this is all a bit much for just working out ring gaps, get it to an experienced builder.
  7. Cut the man some slack, i can think of a few other builds that have taken longer. As i always believe, if you have to wait for something and the end product is exactly as requested or better, its worth the wait. Also, hurry up carnt. I wanna see my predictions come to fruition
  8. Umm, rotational idle as in cyclic idle?
  9. Oily fingers and touchscreen wins!
  10. We usealucas oil in the methanol motors and all ourtough street donks (8cyldonkeys) illsms you the one mate. They are pulling out of aussoon ?
  11. Whats your time frame on the GB mate. I might be up for 3 or 4 depending on new system requirements.
  12. Boost is nearly irrelevant. Its timing and tuning. How much is blown out the exhaust @what deg. Of timing, manifold backpressures ect ect. You could theoretically run 100psi safely if the cam,crank,ignition and injection timing was to suit. Dont be afraid to run boost with these turbos. Ive found the couple ive had anything to do with like to be in the mid to high 30s or even 40s.
  13. Please post pic of actual item. Interested if its a proper v88.
  14. Kelford 182s basically a poncam, performance 82lb single springs precision 6466 with an 84 housing at 40psi
  15. I did 500 with a basic home port job, valve springs and drop in cams. Took some boost tho.
  16. I can guarentee that whatever naprec can do, can be done if not better here in aus and without the 2 year turnaround. They are notorious for taking thier time.
  17. Biggest valves you can get, no squish, make is hemispherical, look into plug clocking, lots of attention to short turn and be prepared to bin several heads finding the limits of jacket thickness.
  18. What fuel. This is very important
  19. This is for the torana i take it. Id use the vi-pec. Better timing control with the use of an aftermarket crank cam trigger setup and better resolution in timing and injection maps. Generally speaking, just a much more capable and flexible setup over the nistune for your application.
  20. You have another problem somewhere. 170 is a good number. Tuner having a brain meltdown and missing something simple thats looking him in the face? Are the cam gears vernier type or fixed? Need to know more aboutthe setup that was pre existing and whats there now.
  21. Do some research on burn patterns in hemispherical chamber designs. In particular, spark plugs. Once you get your head around that, come back and share your thoughts. Head and porting is still a closely guarded topic, not secret by any means, but closely guarded. Ive seen very lightly modified heads, done so in strange areas, make huge amounts of power. Upwards of 2khp, but the principles remain the same, or at the very least, very similar between most engines.
