Yeah the R3C is savage ( and has seen off half a dozen gearboxes ) but I've done about 40k kms in a few years and am impressed with its durability. For example: the other day I limiter launched twice in second thinking I was in Rwd but was in max 4wd . I reckon that would be enough to fry most clutches. I do agree the R3C isn't the right clutch for us, but in the right application ( not sure what that is ) I reckon it would be awesome.

Rb26

Eagle rods

Cp pistons

Tomei type b cams

Tomei gears

Mild head porting

Exh manifolds ported

Rotomaster 2860-5

2200cc injectors

120mm intercooler

Adaptronic ecu

Lc-1 wideband

Tomei dumps

Jim berry full Monty clutch

Apexi front pipe

100 cell cat

3.5" exh to x force cannon

B/c valve springs

Mac valve controlling boost via ecu

Best run of 360. On low but left it fat at 350 ish 19 psi

426 kw on 26 psi both united e85

Interestingly was 415 and we cracked airbox (std) and jumped to 426 so I will mod it. Another tuner said couldn't crack 400 with pump (walbro e85) and airbox or that I couldn't go over 24 psi on -5 guess he was wrong

32 airbox always has been an issue. 33 on much better design, dual feed etc.

Good solid result. Be interested to see you go hit the 1/4! Too many '400rwkw -5' GTRs around at the moment that are failing to hit even 124mph let alone the 128-130 they should be, at least half a dozen now :/

10s gonna be EASY for you though me thinks, no fudge with your dessert! :thumbsup:

I'm keeping the airbox but will modify the lower half and sheild the area where the snorkel was, I'm really concerned about traction even with semis although a bit hard she looses traction in 3rd gear on high boost, is this common with 400 plus Gtr ? Thanks for positive comments guys and thanks to jez for a job well done. I had a few issues he fixed , a restrictive tee piece, and failing alternator which actually makes a huge difference to tuning. Again jez is best, the flames are less common now but I'm glad I got a vid of it lol

It's really too bad my old Autronic SMC can't do flex fuel. I'm going to run a similar set up to Scott's with bigger cams. Change of fuel pump (and e85'n my system) would see 400's. So tempting but may have to wait for the next minor round of upgrades.

Great result there Scott! Really has me stoked for my build that will be similar -5 based set up.

It was good experience all said and done and jez is very patient although his initial words of he likes difficult cars came back to haunt with this puppy lol, jez do u rekon leave box for street and switch to pods at track? Wish I bought them with me for testing bugger.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
