i'd go for 420ish, how long will it probably last?, mostly street use probably quite a while, enter le mans 24hr tomorrow, it'll probably be dead tomorrow

have you tried spaying ether around the gasket area with it running? that should tell you if there's a leak

yeah it must be something to do with the cam & spring setup

all i said was that far superior was a bit over the top, i wasn't arguing anything that was you, now you're just waffling, talking about usain bolt? is your caps lock broken? the op is using a 3071, so will be a very similar result as i said, you must have something to show that you had a far superior result from the neo head and no other factor? with max power through the stock head is debatable as the neo runs shim over bucket and know one that has flicked one out recently a good result can be done with either head everyone knows the neo is the one, just far superior is a bit of an over statement if you're talking big numbers as nytsky suggests the highest one i know personally runs a 26 head at over 1600hp, is that where you're at? the thread was about 300ish kw's it's quite hard to find a fair comparo, my s1 has only done about 90,000ks is stock and over 350kw, the neo i have is 105,000ks so will back to back them with same setup when the time comes and will post it, a known good s1 vs a known good neo, people say the neo gained them this & that but their old motor was too tired to compare fairly simon-s14, your 30 used to have a neo head now a 26? seen any shims flick out of any neos?

looks like late s2

check with Stao?

exactly not by much, not far superior, so what are you on about? my spare motor is a neo, i'll put it in this weekend if you've got some proof it will make a fair difference over the non neo?, as nytsky says show some proof? in some ways i can't wait for my motor to blow so i can back to back the s1 & neo with the same setup, 350+kw, you must've already done this so show us? as i said we know it's better but results are not far superior was all i was saying you're still going on about facts & credentials which nobody denied where's your proof now mungy?

have to agree, while the neo head is better, far superior is a bit steep, both motors in good condition with same mods produce a very similar result any proof otherwise? did hear of a neo flicking a shim out recently but didn't hear back why

is the neo a det?

mythbusters did a test with fuel additives, the moth balls seemed to do pretty well haha

much higher det temp with e85, don't think you'll be running much boost with that comp on 98 as above buy a drum?

proper forward facing only, no one is talking about the chop job because it's crap

intake does bolt on

have been considering a mix, are most people mixing the fuel or just letting it mix in the tank?

lith, what's your thoughts on our gull e10? (vs 98), cheers

slightly more flow, vct & $7k less does sound like the one? kellfords have billets that you could get to whatever spec

yeah give it a good going over, sounds like it's losing more power than the vct would cause

seems unlikely overtightening would stop it working but now there's drama would be good to torque it, to lose power up top from the vct it would have to be stuck on, you'd probably notice the idle & a bit of a different note from exhaust if that was the case so seems more like a timing issue?

yes obviously, was just chucking possibilites for the power loss rb just advances the cam timing, unfortunately not as fancy as vtec & mivec

applying power at idle will at least tell if pulley is working, at those loads at least, if jammed on you'd notice power loss over 5500ish (sounds worse than that?), and idle would be a bit rough, so prob points towards cam timing? hopefully not broken locator on the cam for cas?

power it up with the car running and see if it changes the idle

my bad, quick work post was unclear, it's you that can't box

you can't just jump in the ring & think you can box

could try boost control by speed/gear setup
