Nice result Ant eater. So much for not running more than 20 psi hey ;).

How does it feel?

not sure yet Paulie

haven't had the chance to use those 600 ponies just yet

but QLD SAU drag day next weekend - I think I will open it up a little

they tried 30psi but them stock springs don't like it lol

Are u gonna change your springs ants.. After my last engine failure I'll never use stock or jap springs again

yeah, eventually I will mate

Your previous engine died because of the OEM springs?

Yea they were either oem or tomei mate. Can't remember exactly but they were soft and only pushing tomei cams

ended up breaking in 3 pieces and smashing itself into a forged piston, around 20,000 old so shouldn't have failed

what did you replace them with?

awesome result ants :)

call me soft but i dont drive mine on high boost which is 430kw at i think @ 25psi (i need another 044 pump run higher than e55 mixed blend & higher boost)

just take it easy mate - its a lot of power (fark im getting old)

Ferrea dual springs with locks and retainers., haven't actually started the engine yet but the builder reckons they re the best and the fitment of the components is excellent

sweet will look into that

thanks Marko

Having a really decent fuel system is key to the HP thats for sure

You only live once - boost that shit up Marko

Hi Joey, this is what I was taking about earlier about the UE springs ??

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
