Zennon: The Super GTs are insanely fast...

Yoz Dan~~~I'm good. Working on a new intake now after selling off my Gruppe-M carbon intake....I have not yet put it on a weighbridge, but it should be around 1200kgs or less at the moment if stock weight is around 1270kgs. 300bhp flywheel on 1100kg would be great to be able to achieve at the end, NA that is. Still got my aircon, soft-top motors etc on...so it's hard bringing the dead weight down to 1100kg. Best way fer it to lose weight would be to have it sent to Opera in Japan. :blink: How's yer s2k going?

Jyo, I've been playing with the gtr and the s2k has been on the back burner lately. It's still 1400kg....probably as heavy as the r32 lol.

My friend and I built 2x 2.47L f20c over the past year. My friend's NA f20/25c :P made ~180rwkw and he stripped the car down to ~1150kg. He's running around QR sprint in the high 58 low 59 now. I used to run 59 with the turbo f20c so I have a bit of catch up to do.

As soon as the engine is all done, I will probably strip all of the audio gear out of the car and bring it to Paul's timeattack to see it's full potential.

Paul, I just realise the next Timeattack day is on a Thursday. Unfortunately I will have to miss this one ;)

Damn, I had to change the dates and space the events out more. Hopefully it will be easier for more people to make each round with grater space between events.

Its about 2 weeks until the next one, so its time to get organised and prepped up.

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
