Should be a good event! Bit worried about them XR6T.. all u need is a Exhaust and flash tune and ur making 300kw @ wheels...

We need some Nissan's to go over and represent!

yeh sad to say but the aussie cars will be pretty dominate on the dyno, on the track etc its a different story, but this isnt the track and its a dyno so unfortunately it'll be pretty hard to beat the aussie crew

I wont be entering.... my car isn't making 400kw Jamie :P but I would expect to see some big numbers from XR6 turbos with remapped ECU's + injectors, or any turbo LS1, etc. at a dyno event like this

what we need to do is find people out there who have done LS1 (or similar) coversions to their skylines and silvias, then we are in with a shot... :)

You haven't seen the big V8s and the XR6s haven't you? :)

LOL!

Straight line power house dyno queens. :D

You have prof, I have seen it.

LS1 in a Skyline... There is a thread about that... Not very good feed back from some members on here.

Wouldn't Imports answer to xr6 turbos be Supra TT's

I don't think so, have you seen any XR6 forums recently? While many members seem to say they can make "400kw from 5K of mods" there are those who are actually doing that without much of a problem.

I don't believe the 5K figure, but they do seem to do quite well with power mods...

And then there will be people with a turbo-charged V8's or similar.

$65 for the dyno seems pretty expensive, might come down to watch....

lol, the one good thing about these days are the ausie v8 muppets that think that they will dominate all jap cars because they have a falcodore v8 with an exhaust, and then pull like 240rwkw and blame it on the dyno - sighting the 317 badge on the back of their car as "evidence"

but the aussies will win.... as they say "there is no replacement for displacement"

5k for 400kw! thats cheating! any 400kw skylines around? i m sure there are

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
