I think circuit motor/drag/dyno motor lives are all totally different bags to compare.

Especially when one is being used for 10-15mins at a time as opposed to 10 seconds, there is a lot more 'refinement' if you will in a circuit motor.

Thats just my view personally.

If i was having a motor made for a car i intended to circuit, i would use those people who have thier own cars/customer cars out there on a regular basis.

I also guess what the workshop offers aswell. Suspension/brake/drivetrain advice also is a bonus, same for the Campbelfield boys, they know thier RWD Drag rear ends very well as they have played with them for years.

But you cant expect the knowledge to be applied to circuit and vice versa as small differences can return large gains.

The only catch is when they confirm that my motor is a $600 wrecker motor from EKW...they have to shout me a select group of mates a night on the piss, and maybe the strippers :)

HAHAHAH, and not VB from the shepperton strippers.........Johnny Blue from Spearmint & Rhino :huh:

man I'm jealous of that RB20 Roy, blow it up, head to the wreckers, couple of days later your back on the road... keep the tuning spot on, don't run it too hot and bobs your uncle... sure you might miss the extra .5L when putting around town but its a small price to pay and when its on boost it flies

if I had my time again I would have gone down the 32/rb20 path... I was even seriously considering buying your car when you had it for sale a couple of years ago... should have it was good value

It isnt good value. Just like if i sold it now you could easily spend 15k on it just gettign it up to scratch :) Friggin cars. teh best track car is a strd car with suspension and some breathing mods. The quicker you want to go the less you get to drive it and the less rewarding the driving is :laugh: Now i see the error of my ways :O

i would check your 'source' that's a $800 motor in there...

Might wanna check your source mate. Joking, just thought id be a little bitch. Or is roy under quoting his motor to hide the specs further!?! CONTROVERSY! hahaha

2ndly IT WAS A JOKE PEOPLE hence the lol and smiley at the end, I KNOW its stock. Though i may not comment on roys car much or actually know him, I have read many of his posts and conversations on here regarding his engine and turbo setup (stalk much?) as like I previously mentioned, I was looking into a td06 20g also for my car instead of the 3037.

When the guy said your engine wasn't stock, it wasn't in accusation, but more in admiration as he simply couldn't believe the power it was making as well as the response. This is the thing I hate about email/internet, you can never actually interpret the tone of what somebody is saying properly. Reminds me of the Hamish and Andy show the other week when they were talking about angry office memos that don't get their intended tone across and just end up being funny.

That still doesn't mean i am wrong :worship:

The original PANIC had one N, i could post full details at a later date if you want.

Please post some more details and as for your self can you build a motor,if you really want the truth the guy at safeway built the motor in pannic (OK),the transmission was built by the lady at the bp petrol station down the road,My daughters kinda garden teacher painted the car,and my great great grand father did all the dyno tuning.

I hope that answer;s all your question;s retard now i think since you have been told ,its time for you now to have your bottle,put your nappies on and get mummy to tuck you into bed,now dont cry or you will get a smack. ;)

easy john, easy..

i think people say "someone else built it" is because things have been said on ct that eddy rajab built the motor in pannic.. also miles has been at jpc before you started on it and u have owned it..

but i have worked with you before.. and you know very well how long i was locked in that boot!!!.. but in all seriousness i know you have built that motor and many others to date..

well I know who to call next time then... any turbo efi motor is plenty of work to take out, but 2 hours solo is damn quick, does that include stripping it?

na i did an engine change over..

That was engine alone it took me 2 hrs with me n 2 workmates doing it.. took me 20mins to have the gearbox out and tailshaft and exhaust.. but you can see its not hard, you just need the right tools and knowledge..

whats with everyone and having their own workshop "claims" when it comes to high powered record holding street cars? i mean seriously who gives a f**k...

I didnt post those figures on page 1 to start a shit fight, i posted them to give an example of what level John Bresciani and Rob Iloski are on, they are the top when it comes to this tough high powered engines that last, no matter what their used for.

Never claimed to have built an engine John.

I'll let you sort out the details with the original owner, that's if you are on speaking terms :worship:. Your reaction has just justified what i have claimed; anyone that throws a hissy fit that quickly really wants to hide something.

John here's a tip champ: grow up, it helps in life ;)

No stress...i dont take anyting too seriously. But i wouldnt knowingly steer someone into financial heart ache by bullshitting about my engine being stock when its not.

LOL...as soon as drag racing is intrduced into discussions, conversations always become heated. LOL, i think thats where it gets ifs brag racing tag from :)

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
