If i can find a cheap pair of -5 or -7 for now i'll use them and keep the RS's for when i do the 2.9. I just didnt wanna chuck the stockies on and and blow a motor and turbo at the same time.

Funny enough just got off the dyno today after fitting M&W CDI unit.

Anyway, the graph R31Nismoid was referring to was up to:

med_gallery_705_63_26377.jpg

One curve was GT-RS twins, 137mm thick Apexi drag intercooler and Greddy plenum, the other was 2860-5 twins, 100mm HKS cooler and Nismo plenum. I'll let you work out which is which.

The graph below is the same setup, but now on E85 and M&W CDI as fitted today:

PS - I like E85 :D

$2600 new from GCG -10% If your a club member, Inc GST.

Gav, what sort of boost were you shoving down the throat of your engine? There will be another comparison soon between RS's and 5's. :D

Still running 24psi. The ethanol just seems to accept more and more timing. The big fat spark from the CDI helps the tune significantly in the mid range also.

Huge... 40hp? It is a good improvement; you must be easily excitable :)

40rwhp more = 30rwkw more

You don't get that kinda gain dollar for dollar as easily hehe, very excited. You'd feel that driving around for sure, plus the pickup you'd think would be quicker too.

At the graphs... maybe you should look again.

It is a "standard" gain/improvement from switching fuels.

Check the GT-RS to -5 comparison on the top graph, some of the comments are aimed at that and others at the fuel change, tho the comments havent been clear on which they're referring to.

Mike, most are referring to the difference from gt-rs to -5 results on that one graph as MrStabby stated. That one is an impressive difference. The gain from fuel change is quite normal.

Ahhh, noted :)

    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • This one?? In other news: I cannot tell the difference between my red MX5 with the silver grey hard top......... and the Ferrari 599XX EVO, they might as well be twins, well.......apart from the big wang hanging off the back of the Ferrari...🤔🤣, without the wing they are identical

    • I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
