From what he was saying at the last ben simpson cruise, he swapped to smaller turbos and made around 230kw.

My car made 230kw with standard turbo's and 11psi, he has 2860-7's at 18psi and 230kw. Something is not right with that car.

Spot on! According to what he told me, his tuner thinks that's an expected figure. I say he's an idiot

word... even N1's which are just stockers with steel wheels can get over 300 with ease...

stockers themselves would go past 220 safely if they werent ceramic...

-D

Took this one today, quite like it :)

/ol school merc

much love for the merc. needs chopped roof, fresh white walls and the chassis rails on the ground then it will make womens clothes fall off (well my clothes at least :P)

um tbh steve i dont really know, last i heard he was sitting up and they put him in a wheel chair to move around instead of being in the bed all the time.

but his dad called my mum and abused her over the phone, and alot of other stuff has been said to me from his sister and brothers gf, saying how i ruined his life and i need ot be careful that karma will come and get me stuff like that

even tho he could feel his legs could wiggle his toes and was on panadol for pain relief

go figure.

yeah i know that and he had alot of back trouble for a long time, and cause he had a pre existing back injury, the accident flared it up....but his family and what not still felt like they had the right to ring up mum and abuse her over the phone

my mum did the right thing and spoke to charlie to see how he was going etc and not once did his parents ever get in contact with me to see how i was going.

it doesnt bother me tbh but still just seems a little unfair on the way the have dealt with it

but oh well what has happened has happened, ive had to deal with it but whe u get pm's on facebook saying things like why did u delete me off of facebook (from someone who i dont even know) and that you have ruined charlie life he has no job no car and cant walk............it really brings you down

just because i wasnt as physically hurt as what he was dosent mean im not scarred on the inside

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
