Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Eh hang around here long enough and it won't matter about broken tags, we're an interesting bunch lol

Many new people? Remember I know most of the people. I have been around these forums for a year or two....

Well, more accurately you'd need to ask 2 questions there:

1. Do I want any experience building LS motors?

2. Do you really need to build an LS motor?

Sean at EFI had those things almost scraping 800hp at the tyres with reliability not being an issue whatsoever

Well... I have a dismantled ls1 motor in my shed and am chasing some decent numbers, but here's the catch *takes deep inhale* We need to do it naturally aspirated due to mod plate BS

Hidden NOS might/may/could possibly be an option for someone (rant proofed lol)

New people, well pretty much everyone man... The club kinda disintegrated within itself after some falling outs that occurred *not to be discussed in public* but yer lots of new guys, myself included I guess.

Only really OG people around now are bunta (andrew) and Ants (er ants lol)... Noel's never around anymore and Dave (rhino rebel) only occasionally pops up.

But us new folk are good value :wave:

Oh ok, Yeah I can build anything you want. Engines I'm not familiar with I just refuse to offer advise on part selection and tech shit really. I'm not going to tell you what cam is best or whatever but all engines are the same on the inside essentially. Some are better designed, however.

Where I'm working at the moment is a Jeep specialist so I've been doing quite a bit of different stuff lately. A few 4.7 Hemis, a couple of 1943-5 Willys Jeep engines and a 1945 Dodge Weapons Carrier. Your LS1 wouldn't be an issue

Don't you love auto correct lol Imagine ordering that and coke in a bar lol

I cannot imagine ordering that beverage on account of the fact it tastes like shit haha!!

Let's see if they filtered out any decent Whiskey?

Lagavulin

Laphroaig

Caol Ila

Talisker

They're a super complex intricate mind field maze of an engine definitely super technical and difficult lol

Working for a jeep dealership that's Different avenue man how'd that come about

Animal? Bacon is Bacon....it doesn't come from an animal, it comes from heaven

Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?

Lisa: No.

Homer: Ham?

Lisa: No.

Homer: Pork chops?

Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.

Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
