I'm a little confused by that turbo setup. No wastegate to bypass exhasut gas, instead boost is controlled by venting already compressed air. The turbine is allowed to spin as fast as it wants, perhaps even out of its efficency range. How can this possibly be more effecient than a wastegate setup?

as far as i know he has never disclosed an actual figure...

just about every car mag (online and print) has had some form of 'creative' fact reproduction. ranging from a slight dodging of the facts to out and out guessing and bullshit. i guess in this country it is seen as acceptable to print utter garbage and have the readers pay for it. when they mess up not only the components and who did the work right through to the owners name and the power figure achieved they are taking advantage of their customers to the nth degree. i only bought the first issue of speed magazine - that was enough. as a matter of fact, ive only bought the 1st issues of a couple of local mags and been completely dissapointed. it's a sad thing for the industry but more so for the people that advertise in them. they get associated with a bunch of backward ****s with a computer and a job at a publishing co.

jeez mags shit me.

Cheers.

Hrmmm - Looks like our friend Greg Brindley has struck again...

Turns out that it wasn't even written by the Autospeed staff... It was written by a freelance writer... A mate of mine had his car reviewed on A/S by the same guy (Greg), and said he's no good...

I had Julian and Michael do mine, and they were pretty much on the money as to what I'd done etc...

Autospeed has gotten real shit especially since they dont have any free artivles anymore.

They sound like a bunch of tossers aswell.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
