Reading all this has got me thinking that i should try to get my turbos on before this event so i can get over the 300kw mark aswell. I'll make some calls tomorrow and see what i can organise :)

Reading all this has got me thinking that i should try to get my turbos on before this event so i can get over the 300kw mark aswell. I'll make some calls tomorrow and see what i can organise :)

yeh come join the 300rwkw club Chad....lol

Just buy a heap of G size bottles... and while the import cars are running, open all the bottles into the dyno cell - extra power and a nice relaxed and cheerful mood for everyone :D It might cause a fire, but that just makes it easier to cook the BBQ food.

Ken/PIMPED, 400rwkw using 550cc Sard injectors... that's what i call pushing the limit!

I'm going to do my best to make it to this dyno day, as it sounds really interesting. It'll also be interesting to do a rough comparison (power curve, peak values, turbo response etc.) with my own dyno runs on Shaun's dyno - there's about 90+ of them saved on the thing ha-ha.

I might even have the tuning finished by then and could try and help bolster the import figures - I 'may' be able to offer low 300's at the rears - best of 302rwkw so far. It might squeeze out 315-320ish once the cams are set-up and a few more pounds wound in.

What we - the import team - really needs is for Darren's R31 to be up and running - 550rwkw would help push the total up nicely.

yeah im abit worried bout that atm, going to 1000cc soon, but i hope the 550cc will hold out for 400, fingers crossed anyway, but it makes 300 with easy, fuel is running really rich atm, was told rich enough to get almost 400rwkws with but i would be pushing it, i dunno, ill get it on the dyno and see what we can do, and the remap of the 32 ecu is wicked, better then my power fc in my old 33

Nitrous oxide is not flammable.

Correct. Oxygen is nonflammable too. However, what these gases are very good at is supporting explosive combustion, all they need is an ignition source and a saturated concentration - think dyno cell full of G size bottles opened fully and then add a red hot manifold. I'll be the one standing over the road :P

Next time you're at the drags and you see someone purge their nitrous system, don't stick your head near the stream of purged N20 smoking a cigar... unless you want to look like Micheal Jackson :O

I guess it depends on how 'real' those 400rwkw are, if you get my drift. To safely support a genuine 400rwkw you are going to to be pushing well beyond the safe level for 550cc injectors. I wouldn't risk it. Wait till you get the 1000's in.

just grab some NOS and spray it into the intercooler MRVLT style.

hahah yeah that was the funniest thing to see on the autosalon dyno

they could have just used fire extinguisher

it would have done the same job lol

even funnier the power figures didnt really improve though lol

Using LOX (liquid oxygen) would 'kind of' work nicely at externally snap cooling the intercooler :)

I can't recall the exact LOX temp off the top of my head (- a few hundred 'c) cryogenic freezing temp's that's for sure. It also has an expansion rate of 600ish to 1, as in 1L of LOX = 600L of gaseous oxygen. So watchout when it reaches a source of ignition! Great for speeding up the BBQ cooking times, it'll cook snags in microseconds, then melt the BBQ and burn a nice hole in the ground under it :)

Anyway, back to the dyno day conversation. Any info' on the domestic entries?

hey buddy who did u get to remap your 32 ecu??

jeff at turbotune, did a good job, isnt cheap for most people though, lol, also i wont be boosting her up anymore, keep her at 300rwkws, 550s wont hold out, it will lean out to much, 20 psi is pushing it with them, so 16 psi will have to do, will still be in the 300rwkw club though, if there is such a thing? lol, hope to see u all there

Good move mate, as it's just not worth taking the risk. Get those bigger squirters in there first, then you can crank up the boost safe in the knowledge the fuel system can support it.

We are both at a similar point actually, as I'm just about to upgrade to a new set of 780cc injectors in my 33 - my 550's are no longer up to the task... especially for E85.

so urhhhhh what are you going to be doing with the 550cc injector? :O

Ha-ha, yep, I'll be selling them. However, one potential problem. I have a custom top-feed fuel rail, which means my 550's won't suit the OEM RB25DET rail.

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
