I have my series 2 stagea cams sitting in the shed somewhere too. There was definitely an improvement going to 260 deg type B poncams but the jump was consistent with any other neo engine so (without measuring them and actually being sure) I think they are the same as an R34. I might add that I was firmly in the camp that thought the cams were different based on the issues we had making power and probably was one of the people that started the whisper campaign. The engine behaved like a few other neo's out there that are possessed by demons.

has someone measured them to be different?

a partition for that pod would be worth an hour of fiddling around. clark rubber has some foil backed foam that would do the job (with a stanley knife) and should keep your intake temps down a whisker.

it should be a simple update from the forum. if you wait for a reply from datalogit.....then who knows. my experience is they aren't quick.

Group Buy Closed. Thanks to everyone involved.

why doesn't your tuner update his version of the software?

i heard the other winning ticket of Ozlotto was buried under that bottle.

The factory BOV's are designed to leak slightly back into the intake hence the small hole on the face. This slight leak reduces the likelihood of mild compressor surge. Something most won't experience with stock turbos on RB25DET's or RB26DETT's. Blocking the small hole may slightly improve response or increase hp by a few kw's but it is really no big deal either way from my experience but if you get compressor surge (with aftermarket turbo) relieving the hole makes the car much better to drive. Assuming there is no vacuum leak from the hose holding the diaphragm shut then the factory BOV will outperform most aftermarket units as it costs nothing to leave it alone.

I have tidied up some trimming done on the bar on my R33 with a small wood plane (I'm not saying this is the best tool but it worked quite well and was just sitting in the garage). It had been hacked pretty roughly with some kind of saw by the original owner. The stagea had more or less been professionally done with some linishing of the cut edges. (except for the number plate area that was cut out completely). The IC will end up fairly close to front reinforcing bar so having a slightly small IC height-wise makes little difference anyway with regard to airflow and it will save you some time/coin cutting a new hole on the drivers side and modifying the engine cover etc. So it might cost more for the kit but will be easier to install. Swings and roundabouts.

if JJR say it is bolt on then it should be a close thing. if no one has done one then you are in the lap of the gods BUT it should be straightforward enough allowing for some minor trimming of the front bar. the size of the FMIC will be absolutely fine. most FMIC's are larger than required for the power output which has a small cost in response for the extra size.

darrin spencer will be able to give you an idea.

Both my cars have Greddy Profec B II. Boost is held perfectly flat and for a reasonable price. Most of the decent name brands will do the job fine so anything that is reasonable on price is the way to go.

the cheapest option is to silicon your existing coils. there is a neat DIY thread somewhere on SAU using a spray can of silicon (vs the more ghetto option of high temp silicon tube option which also works)

^^^^ x2

0.82 is the way to go. ohh, and damn you about the comically cheap thing.

AFM is an easy soldering job to fix if there is an issue. the joints get dry and need to be re-soldered. it should take less than 30mins from start to finish even if your soldering is terrible.

retarding the exh cam gear around 2-4 degrees seems to be a good range to test on the dyno.

Webber stopped only one lap earlier on the first stint running a leaner fuel map to stretch his fuel. i think it was MW lap 19 vs SV lap 20 Vettel stopped earlier in the 2nd stint on lap 43 vs MW on lap 45.

1. "noice rackes" 2. "das thongen" 3. "bon quim" what are the other ones?

but the word STRIPPERS!!! that's something he does know.

Great job by SV, MW and RBR. I hope Brawn take some time to respond so the points gap can close a bit more.

Vettel was hampered one race due to the pre-determined strategy (that should have been changed), Webber was hampered on one race when he was refueled 2 laps early. So your point is? RBR strategies haven't been helpful to either driver on those occasions. If Vettel hadn't had such a slow middle stint last race (and he was slower than Webber) on similar fuel and tyres then he wouldn't have been bitching after the fact. Vettel was catching him at the end but he couldn't pass Button (earlier in the race) and he wasn't going to get past Webber either. Vettel will be bitterly disappointed if he doesn't win tonite as he has placed himself in the box seat with his raw speed and healthy fuel load i will be cheering him on for a RBR 1-2 finish. He will only get better with more experience but at this point they are pretty close as race drivers, certainly there isn't a yawning chasm.

Webber is going to need a very good start to give himself a chance of winning the race. Vettel looks on track for another race win with his fuel load and options this opens up. 1.
