Is the 34 running -5's?

And they are on race fuel aren't they? Last time I was out at Russels they had drums of Sunoco or Martini or something like that

i was fairly sure they were using E85 and -5's. as it kept the response similar to how it was on the R32's engine.

1 min in mark says its running E85

Also other 400rwkw/-5 - Aaron34, pretty certain it was 400rwkw and pegged back to 380 as it was seeing extensive circuit.

tangomatt also, 415rwkw. Pics of -5s :(

how about smallest turbo that is running efficiently for the power application = win?

where do you draw the line at being 'efficient'?

I would say running 20psi on a highflow is past its efficiency but they make for an awesome combination on a street car!

I suppose you draw the line with EGTs, going past a turbos efficiency will increase the EGTs no doubt. But I suppose if thats still in acceptable range then thats still ok. Although I would prefer to drop a few psi and get right in its efficiency zone.

yeah, you can still have fairly acceptable EGTs and be well out of the efficiency zone a lot of the time though which was sort of what I was trying to say.

sure the turbo is putting excess heat into the intake charge but it is still scavenging energy out the exhaust so its still being more efficient mechanically than an NA vehicle, but you are right, it is a nicer option to have temps etc all well under control so you can drive it around on a 35c day without issue.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
