wow hi all :)

havent been in here for a bit...

got bored over the weekend just gone so added this :) and then blew a coolant line at the back of my engine... so its been parked up for a week :)

nicer to drive now and pulls harder than before :)

I will talk to you but your probably asleep now lol

So why did your bro have such a night?

Doesnt sound good :sad:

myR32: looks cute and love the curly hair!

miss petepie: Looks the goods and it's always good to something yourself.

Yeah, its still stock. I've only had it for just over a month. So... everything basically :|

Saving up for a CES Racing turbo back system, but with the holday pay, I'm thinking JustJap intercooler, SAFC2 (it's an auto), then not sure what I will do with the rest... Probably put the rest towards saving for an AVCR as I want the support systems like intercooler and SAFC2 before I go raising the boost any... Thats the plan... Anyone want to lend me some money? :rofl:

gotta admit the 34's do look sexy...sounds like ur path of modifying is pretty logical :rofl:

money, i wish i had a tree out the back for mine, all the little things add up to sooo much its not funny, but they gotta be done

    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
