limiter launch ftw but still use the handbrake, ive seen a few breakages from just dropping clutch, when using the handbrake u take any 'slack' out of your driveline, also helps u come onto boost before launching, so as said before line up, pull on handbrake keeping hand on the handbrake slowly rev and release clutch till you feel it start to bite, then foot flat drop handbrake n clutch!!

Cheers for all the tips.

For my 265 is 22psi all round a good starting point?.....i done a few launches, at 4000 i get huge bog...6000-7000rpm launches seem just right though and it bites and im away

also i have some alreasy stiff coilover suspension...its damper adj and the damper setting is around half way...should i adjust for the drags?

Is it bad to have the accelerator floored the whole time? ie not taking your foot off during gear shifts?...

....one thing id like to say....after a few launches i could really smell my clutch...is this normal?

Thanks to all!...im gnna practise Handbrake techniques tommorow:)

I like Martin Donnon's list (happy 40th btw Martin) except for the "sit on the limiter for five seconds" one. What a steaming pile of turd. Limiter launches don't need a whole five seconds on it. WTF?!

Did you not know that he sells RB oil pumps ?

2 seconds or 3 'pops' whichever comes 1st for me...best of 1.41 on radials tells me my method works.

Havent read the thread but stocko suspension is a good idea, stiff coilovers arnt going to be doing you any favours

not really...but are stockers are adequate.

ive tried...stock...revalved stock (drag set-up 90/10's in the front and 60/40's in the rear) and HKS circuit coilovers...what worked the best?

The HKS items.

Mark Jacobsen ran KYB circuit coilovers all the way up to low 8's and 60'd in the low 1.3's with them on radials...try doing that on stockers.

      Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.

      So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.

      I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
