Thanks Dave,

We were extremely happy to get 1000hp on E85, not sure if that had been done before, but to push it further now we are switching to c16 and more boost. The engine had perfect compression after the power cruise event, so we are happy to step up the power and see how it goes. Obviously the GT4788R is a big turbo, so there should be plenty of room to move from its current power figure. Fingers crossed it performs well at Autosalon. If it does, we will make the trek to Autosalon Sydney with a few more goodies added to it to go even further.

Actually my friend who owns the Rockstar GTR made 1000hp atw on E85 just before Jambo, and that was straight out of the pump :happy:

It is running a big set up stroker and all the other good bits you know people wont give out there specs on the engine.

Until you ring the person who built the engine. Fact is, there is no use keeping that stuff a secret. It's all been done before. Only the tune is different. People have been making over 1k for many years, it's just a matter or how many more are coming up

True that - Most people will freely give you thier parts list.

However its all the stuff in assembly and small things that make the difference. And you rarely find those on a spec sheet :P

What is the rev limit on this? Given it doesnt fall off boost between gear changes would suggest at least 10,000? :(

Yeah those Nitto cranks are good for 12k apparently. Well so Nitto tell me

Guys, we just took out runner-up for Highest Overall Horsepower at Gold Coast Auto Salon with NITTO putting out 1071awhp with no nitrous!!!

Currently, we're running an Autronic SM4 ECU + CDI but we're upgrading that side of things at the moment and it's 'only' revving to 9500rpm. There is much more to come out of this car and we're looking forward to the Final Battle in Sydney in a couple of months.

The Rockstar GTR put out 950awhp (not over 1000) on E85 too, we were talking to him at Jambo (nice guy!)

It made 985awhp and that was with a slipping clutch so no dout that it will make over 1000awhp with the new clutch. It runs pump E85 and no NOS and it is going to put more boost into it soon.

Well that's strange because he told us "950" but much of a muchness - but he hasn't made quad figures on E85 yet, like we have. Yes, we do know all about that car we were talking to him for quite a while at Jambo :cool:

    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
