Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Spent the afternoon looking at turbo/s options.

I'm just getting more and more confused.

Partly because i'm not really sure what sort of power I want to end up with.

Thats why I don't get concerned with final power figures, focus on how you want it to drive and forget about the power figure.

McFly is one of the fastest street cars in the club around LP and he's only got 320ish HP.

Thats like my old R32, it was twice the car at 245rwkw compared to 330rwkw. I was so dissapointed at how it drove I had to sell it! lol

How much HP Pete?

And what do you want use the car for?

400Kw would be nice. But at the same time, The car is never going to be a serious track car (white GTR at lakeside and all) so response is key. Stroker+E85 might give both, and somethin like a BW 7670 or similar sized Precision (6266?) might be just the turbo.

I don't. He will have to prove me wrong with a massive skid

First thing i did was install a skids switch...

That being said I was won over by the launch crowd on the weekend. No reason why i can't have both though.

Bunts!

update re: unicorn

Man I have had so much going on with work and estate stuff that I haven't really touched it. I have the new ECU in and running. I have the crank trigger and I have a new exhaust. I need a balancer and to take it down and get it fitted and tuned. While I am there I am getting pipes made up so I can re install the stock airbox. I doubt I will get the time to do any of this until July or so.

Pete,

Big ass single, Precision 6466, big exhaust cam and slightly smaller inlet cam, possible stroker & head work. Should nett you some healthy numbers whist hopefully having decent response

deceased estate or real estate?

Sounds like a fair bit of progress mate. Hope to eventually come cruising with you some time

Deceased estate. I will come out with you when is done. Need to squeeze the cruise in between finishing it and going over seas for 6 months!

all good mate. I understand you're situation trust me.

Rushing things tends to always attract mistakes.

Better off to take the necessary time to get it right.

Hoping Ants. Im trying to hold of guess-timations of power out put etc on this one. As long as it doesnt make less that 588 [Cant see how this would be possible] I will be happy.

I just want to have this car semi-reliable and be able to just enjoy driving and racing it for the winter time. Its spent far to much time and money over the past 8 months in workshops

    • And 90% of the time those people turn out to be wrong anyway. But they still treat themselves as a victim...
    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
