I got a message from Tarmac at about 11:00 last night saying to check the new HPI, not telling me what about and to my surprise (Actually I called him up and asked WTF) 5 of the local boys are in it (Sorry Bullet, DriftGTS I don't think you made it)

Wish it was a couple of months earlier to get some interest for the cancelled event, but next one (even though it is in sydney) should be massive. I was even thinking of holding my own event in canberra (ACT Annual ImportKhana*) and getting the HPI guys out. I think we would have a fair few people interested in canberra, And I would have alot more variety of events (Motorkhana, Gymkhana/driftkhana, SkidPan, Go to Whoa etc.) Feed back welcome thumbsup.gif

Check it out!!!!

*=All cars welcome, just thought it was a catchy name

P.S just posted this in events by accident

repost :P

good to see it's out now though... I had a look a little while ago and it was still issue 98

I have it.... I can scan and post it, if i'm allowed on this site...

I made it in twice :D, same with Sam...

we'd prefer not... especially since HPI cover our events like this, not a great idea to be ripping off their mag on the forum :yes:

I'm interested!!!

NO!!!

:O

Slim is sorting it out, he was pretty adament on not having to ship it anywhere... I'll talk to him about it and if he still doesn't want to, I'll send some out...

Thats not really fair... The event was held on our doorstep, about seven of us took part and we are expected to drive all the way to Sydney to get a DVD of it? :P

It cant be that hard to put a bunch of them in the mail so that we can distribute them for ourselves.

C'mon Steve, play nice.

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
