yeah it was a sign of things to come :)

for us modern folk what's 476hp in kw?

nice work mate, though it may be about 470hp more than you can handle sunshine :P

edit: figured it out, about 350rwkw. not too shabby.

470hp more than he can handle?

or 470hp, more than he can handle?

lol

ps. congrats steveo! drive safe!

ah finally a power figure :)

Congrats..... I thinks that power will satisfy you for all of say a month !!!

btw... any more boost left in the turbo out of curiousity??? or is it at its peak???

But this at least makes me get off my ass and get my final tune done..... 306rwkw just isn't the same as it was last month !!! You were right I need more boost!!! Looks out, my lil 25 is chasing your figure ;)

Shaun will no doubt post up what he thought in detail...

May as well

Yeah, the wet-road acceleration in 2nd and 3rd gear is best described as 'hilarious', at least thats the effect it had on us. lol

It's a fairly tractable engine- You can feel the torque curve really starting to swell just before 3500rpm, then it gets more serious at 3800, and goes absolutely manic from 4000... and flings the needle from there to 7000 in a blink while all four tires break traction in the wet :)

It should be an epic thing in the dry; a real workout for the neck muscles. If it ever stops raining for more than 30 minutes at a time, that is =P

It's going to require an ECU change to run the last 5 or so pounds of boost that the turbo can run efficiently, but I reckon that, combined with cams and a better intercooler and some silicone lower hoses should see around 550rwHp (410rwkW) without too much trouble. That would only take the injectors to ~90% duty cylcle too, which leaves plenty of safety margin.

Time for that dry-sump setup now...

Got the obligatory shot of the manifold glowing tomato-red during some constant load tuning-

Good stuff Steve. 2 years is a hell of a long time to wait. Ive waited 6 months so far with my car,thats bad enough!

We need specs,i know they are here somewhere but please jog our memories. :)

nah can't

gotta study and pack.

Weak

Good work, Steve-O! It's nice to see it come to fruition after all this time of us bagging you out!

Sure is! - Cheers

NICE ONE STEVO!!!! Congrats on finally getting in done....

Hopefully see you out on the track soon... just wont be overtaking you in a ceffie this time

I saw your soon-to-be shitbox on saturday at CRD :)

There's no way you're getting past me biatch, i definatly want to take you for a lap or two on Saturday :)

Yeah, finally :( - It had 240hp when we rocked up, so thats what it had when it was at your last

Yeah its cranking along, almost at daves figure (only 30kw more to go), but he has cams and cam gears etc so ill do the same and try and match his crazy thing ;)

5 psi left in it, but cause its on stock cams and gears i figured its got a fair bit more to do before using the last 5psi, i want 400kw at the treads for this car. Next car will have a bit more but use a to4z with a huge rear housing and stay 2.6L

You DO need more boost, but you also may need more traction ;) Which is something i dont have to worry about

Thats cool, chase mine ;)

I was definitely laughin in the car tonight and not from excitement. I said come back when it's dry and then I might stop trying to push my feet through the floor.

lol, scared much?

congrats steve. looks good.

wheres my thanks ya bastard? i help put the engine stand together that day aaron copped a crow bar to the face.

Forgot, updated

haahahah almost 500hp atw.......that is insane....good shit steve-o

it will get to about 550hp at the treads before im finished with it :(

so the important thing

it does good skidz ya?

lol, we'll see on saturday i guess :)

I know its not afraid to get the oversteer happening

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
