Lee (RB25DETS2) had the same problem with his hks actuator, we tried everything, more gain, more pre-load, just spiked more and more so we ditched it for a 18 psi and it holds perfect now.

Top stuff!

Glad to see more people on E85! Best decision i ever made switching over.

But i have to agree the fuel economy is terrible, at WOP i swear i can see the fuel needle move lol

Totally damn frustrating. Car is ready to go back on the rollers but this fuel still isnt available to us up here and i cant get an answer as to when it will be.

This is Ipswich for gawd sake. Home of willowbank and qld raceway and more tuff streeters than you can poke a stick at.

The market is right here right now.

yeah this e85 is GOOOD stuff...

and the best part is that i have the power of a 3037 with the response of a 2835.... cake and eat it and so on

Sometimes i wish i'd bought the 3037 instead of the GT-RS.

But then i go for a quick spin and forget about it pretty quickly. :wacko:

You sure?

I've never heard of anyone making 280rwkw with a GT-RS on a 25...I thought it was past its capability, but hey, I'd love to be wrong :P

Blitz SBC Spec-R, 18psi but tailing off to about 16 (trying to find the problem)

Don't say that just yet, im gonna damn bloody try once this head gets here :wacko:

And he was/is the only one... i don't believe it was right personally as no-one has come close since

Yeah i swear he must have had a hidden shot of gas somewhere :)

Still, im keen to push mine as far as it can go. Should have every single thing done to it to help it make peak power other than a rebuild. Warlord's was probably the most a GT-RS has been pushed.

Well I had for ages favoured the idea of going GT-RS but eventually went the GT3076R, interesting difference here is I have never looked back :)

Hmm I have had it for >2 years but if I remember rightly around NZ$2k at the time I purchased it. Runs an internal wastegate and is on stock manifold so all RELATIVELY straight forward/cheap to set up.

good result, but I would love to see a graph of what difference it made at the same boost. I know you're saying you couldn't run more boost with the 98RON, but it was only running 14psi at the top end with a spike to 21psi as it ramped onto boost. I would just want to see what gain the fuel itself made. same boost, but with more timing etc it can apparently take. as it is a lot of that gain would be from more boost (more air + more fuel = more power of course), and i'm a bit surprised that the most you could run was 14psi on 98RON.

anyway, enjoy the new power and sweet smelling, cheap fuel. :)

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
