Booked in for the dyno two weeks from now [emoji106]

[Rbdirty30]

No dyno this week I've got a hold of an old fella that's going to work his magic on my carbs and I've got to get a fuel reg and get my dizzy re graphed again it needs abit more advance down low for the bigger camshaft

[The Bogan]

I keep getting told at work to stop "getting hold of the old fella".

Sorry

[Rbdirty30]

Hahahaha

Looks to be running pretty rich , and in answer to the earlier question, run a decent duct up from the side of the Rad and drill holes all reound the Filter body helped a lot as did inverting the lid, this however depends on whether it was one of the big sumbitch oil bath aircleaner's .

[Rbdirty30]

Yeah it's running pretty rich it's spitting fuel out the exhaust, I'm getting the reg tonight and playing with the fuel pressure, I've been told to run about 2-2.5 psi, apparently dellortos don't like a lot of fuel pressure.

[Rbdirty30]

Got it on to bit of a skid last night in the driveway haha can't see nothing in the video but she sounds good [emoji4]

[MozzMann]

3-5 PSI was normal for the average red motor mechanical pump, Fuel pressure shouldn't be an issue as the float in the Carb should be regulating properly, I'd look at the possibility that the float needed seats are not sealing 100 % as this can manifest it'self in a number of ways or there might be interference in the Choke bypass circuit that is loading her up with fuel at idle.

The audio above sounded pretty clean so it is likely a low speed circuit in the Carbs that needs tuning and balancing.

Just had another listen to the Idle video and I concur the suspicion you have the low speed circuit loading it up and the timing at idle seems off too (based on the sound)

Few pictures taken today from the Baskerville street drags

[Rbdirty30]

And some vids [emoji106]

[Rbdirty30]

And a pic of a 34 it nailed me too haha

new manifold for the old girl, I ended up blowing it up, so instead of rebuilding it I'm going to do up a 202 to group nc specs because I want to turn the Orange lc in a group nc car car hopefully try and get around the 280 to 300hp mark

[Rbdirty30]

Thought I'd put these pics up for the old boys on here to reminisce on the old day, few years ago I pick up a old roller sports sedan lc/LJ torana, just because it looked awesome, well last night I found some pics of it back in it hey day racing, this is reaching back in 1980.

And in 1982

This is the livery the car still has now, I don't have a full pic of how it sits now but this is the pics I have of it

Sad to hear your motor let go, any idea why?

RB30 hammer time?

[Rbdirty30]

I haven't pulled it out of the car yet, but I'm pretty sure it's because the sump has no baffles in it , saving up for a ASR sump, , also doing a cash job on a vk and getting an accumulator setup off a xu1 for my motor. Should help it for next time

[Rbdirty30]

I'm not a real fan of rb30s in toranas but I'd put this motor in it for sure haha

Haha god dam spell check!

[Rbdirty30]

I picked up my sump today, I was told it was off a bianti series xu1 race car, I'm pretty happy with it.

anyone know why it would have all the tiny Alan keys along the side of the sump?i don't no why they have heated these little spots for???

[Rbdirty30]

I think it should do the job [emoji106]hopefully won't go picking up any bearing like last time.
