  1. the reason is so Raikonnen can spend more time on his boat with the ladies.
  2. GCG hi-flow of standard turbo is around $1800 from Sydneykid group buy plus delivery. RB25DET HKS GT-RS kit from www.nengun.com or www.greenline.jp maybe $2200 plus delivery. back to back the HKS unit makes a little more hp earlier but both make similar power up top. GCG units are great value for rebuilding a blown standard turbo. if your turbo is in good condition then you can sell your turbo for $300ish so the HKS unit becomes a little more cost effective. both are bolt-on units with no other fabrication required.
  3. the plazmaman gear is a nice bit of kit. we never get good back to back tests of plenums so you won't get a straight answer. the quality of their workmanship is hard to beat.
  4. Why? it seems Delta has asked for more than just power runs from the respective workshops.
  5. i'm going optional RPG laucher control. check to see if the spare wheel has been removed and replaced with the RPG bracket.
  6. just thought i would save you the time of reading the "PLEASE READ BEFORE USE" section on the for sale classifieds.
  7. done well extrude honing doesn't necessarily take much metal so it shouldn't be more prone to cracking. although i would ask the people doing it what you can expect. it is the most straight forward upgrade and it will all bolt back up. since you intend removing the manifold for another $600ish it's worth considering.
  8. i left off port matching (thanks al).
  9. dave you can do a few things each with it's own for and against's. 1. cheapest re-use factory manifold. 2. find a 2nd hand factory manifold and get it extrude honed and it will flow much more than standard which should lower the boost threshold and lower exhaust manifold pressure = more hp earlier. cost of honing $600 ish. bolts straight back up. 3. HKS cast manifold which flows much better than factory (prob equivalent to extrude honed factory unit) but you will need to modify the dump. you also have a port for an ext gate if you wish to go that way. extrusion of this manifold also has gains. unlikely to warp or crack since it is a cast unit. manifold cost maybe $600-$700 probably with old HKS gate attached. some would say the capacity to absorb/retain heat makes these one of the best options. check legend01 effort with an RB2.1 HKS mani extrude honed + GT3040 with both turbine and comp cover extrude honed....amazing stuff. 306rwkw with around 250rwkw from 4500rpm (or thereabouts out of an RB20 engine with small valves etc). plus the HKS unit is divided should you want to look at twin scroll turbos for earlier spool. 4. aftermarket manifold like 6Boost etc probably $1000-1200 nicest design, possibly greatest hp potential but again exhaust modifications to fit. 5. cheap chinese copy = possibly some risk of cracking later.
  10. fuelpumps.pdf here is the bosch motorsport pump list.
  11. GT-t injectors are 370cc
  12. webber has a ciggy in one hand and the other hanging out the sill holding a cheeseburger. leisurely sunday drive for him.
  13. great work by hamilton so far.
  14. same issue with my bookmarked link. thanks ben.
  15. now you tell me
  16. nick heidfeld seems to be markedly slower than kubica. webber still qualifying very well....now if he can get off the line and keep it clean he will be in with a chance of some good points. still good to see that the gap between the have's and have not's is not warp factor 7. half a second is so much closer than in the last few years. a wet race sometime soon will really put the cat amongst the pigeons. i am betting button is out doing rain dances at every round.
  17. Mark Webber selected quote “Going off the track at Turn Six was 100 percent my fault. I didn’t respect the green astroturf that sits on the outside of the track enough" Astroturf selected quote "RESPEKT MY AUTHORITEEEE!!"
  18. i have swapped relays previously with another SAU'ers stagea (non-clicking). no change.
  19. if you have a set lying around after upgrading drop me a pm.
  20. extrude honing is worth maybe 10-30hp so cleaning it up should spool it earlier and make a few more hp.
