quick update guys - i decided to upgrade my n1 oil pump to the nitto oil pump as it wasn't up for the task.

greg @ proengines also made a custom collar to better suit the oil pump.

i'll be taking the gtr to crd hopefully this sat for a quick health check

[jangles]

greg is a great man! just waiting for my head to arrive then it all goes together!

similar to yours surprisingly

hi guys,

just did a road test in a back street & recorded the results on my blitz ebc (rob @ rips got me thinking on this):

3rd gear: 1bar boost @ 3800rpm

4th gear: 1bar boost @ 3500rpm

5th gear: didn't have the room but would 'guesstimate' 1bar boost @ 3200rpm

mr rob ward, your t04z setup which makes 1bar boost @ 3000rpm, what gear is this done in?

i should also note that my setup has been tuned for top end power, im sure if i asked jim @ crd to tune for mid range my revs would come down even lower @ 1bar boost...

regards,

marko

i dont think you could beat the stock extrude honed manifolds...especially if they are black coated.

Yo dirty man, do you think it's worth the extra money for a set of aftermarket low mount manifolds- compared to a set of honed and ported N1 manifolds?

I'd like to keep the N1's (I have them all done allready) but if there are reasonable gains to be had I'll ditch them... I don't want the ex-mani's to be the restriction.

I know you were running aftermarket manifolds with the GT-RS's.

2.8, head, cams, greddy plenum and 50mm tb's, GT-RS's....

Cheers

Justin

There needs to be a 2.8 section...

[Marko R1]

i think i can answer on pauls behalf as ive had this coversation with him in the past...stock manifolds are much more reliable & just as good if not better than aftermarket items.

mark with his hi octane gtr was using tomei manifolds then went back to stock ones which were matched & honed for better response, as per his interview on ignition dvd

[XRATED]

Thanks marko.

Yeah, I'm really trying to stick with cast manifolds. I'd hate to have to change manifolds after a few thousand km's because one cracked... unfun job.

I've run 400rwkw with stock-stock manifolds in the past... un ported, honed or coated.

I seem to ask Paulie alot of qn's because he's run good numbers with GT-RS's... I'll be running GT-RS's on the new stroker motor.

Anywho... thanks for the reply.

Cheers

hi guys,

i have ordered a new set of splitfire coilpacks as my factory coilpacks started to misfire. tell tale sign was that 1 of plugs was very dark (thanks for the guidancec paul).

whilst im doing this i looked at my plugs...i am currently running ngk pfr7a (1.1 gap) & have done 1000km with them. should i just clean them (with petrol & toothbrush) or should i replace them as they did clean up well.

my tuner recommended i go with pfr7b platinum if i update them - the problem is that nobody in sydney stocks 7b's let alone 7a's! this is head fark & a 1/2 why is it sooo hard to buy a set of plugs???

[TiTAN]

why not just go with standard copper plugs?

bcpr7es marko...made better spark and more power with these puppies than any platinum plug you care to name. I run coppers in the race car too...but not 7's.

Baah... Alcohol is for drinking

Gasoline is for washing parts and

Nitro is for racing!!! ha ha ha

Yeah, I was thinking about methanol a while ago, but it really dosn't go with my street car build. Also E85 isn't available in Tas, so I stuck with the ID1000's instead of the ID2000's...

+1 except I run BCP6CES

let me guess...you run low comp or e85?

Oki doki paul. Better spending $20 on a set rather than $150, its a win win solution
