should have gone to hayward suba

i can personally tell you the side seals were clearenced accoringly, to what all non race motors are done to
knock at certain rpms on the dyno cant be down to the engine build but some sort of electrical issue, not enough fuel or at worst a bad tune!

in regards to compression, the general rule of thumb is the larger a port, usually the lower the compression will read on a test.

c

you can just change the input shafts too, i have done in the past


but if craig is offering, take it up, always a top service

colum

do you know whats unlocked/what map sensor is in it?

I m using microtec Ltx 12s.. I m using it because I can\'t afford Motec
anyone wanna buy microtec off me???

Syed

nothing wrong with the 12 depending on what options you had opened when it was ordered and the mode its mapped in


im using a lt10s, apart from the resolution being short its ok, will be ordering an ltx12 for my new project

c

3mms respond to det just as bad as 2mms, they cause more damage when they crap themselves too, if anything the weakspot with 3mms is the cornerseal


....e pic but you get the idea, i tested 3mms to destruction(note detonation ) and were far worse than 2mm\'s in terms of damage caused as most of the 2mms went out the exhaust (note detonation )


was all done on a bone stock block and same tune  

colum

personal grievances aired, can a neutral mod delete appropriate posts and let the build thread carry on

just a word of warning, if you join up on fduk the vultures will be circling but they are a helpful bunch.








one more thing,



marry me?

one has 39 teeth on the crown wheel the other has 41, that\'s the easiest way to tell

syed, seriously, look in to Borg warners, better and alot cheaper

I have a 42gtx with the extra tial ss rear housing and it doesn\'t struggle on track, bear in mind all the info you get on those is for piston motors

GTX 42R by garrett. I would only get these if your into drag racing only

you sure about that?

syed, look at the Borg warner range, cheap and uber reliable with ranges to suit all needs

s474 with 1.12 t4 rear would be good for fast road, rwyb, trackdays and 600hp easy

for more power try a 480

c

try dave at eps then. used to work for motec, dont expect a reply too soon though, he\'s in portugal mapping a rally car atm

the limiting factor will be the uim for 600whp you\'ll get a massive power and torque drop


(thats flywheel, 599.9 whp on an s475 and pumpfuel)

welcome btw

my fiancee has been offered a job in the caymens and i\'d have went in tow, lived the life and took my rotary with me, she is still on the fence about taking it though

is it true they shut the airport to run drags?

Isn\'t this why 20bs have the thick centre plate? Doweling the engine is surely beneficial to the block as whole whereas the drilling of the separate components may weaken them, bolted together with the other parts would make it stronger as one big part?

to add more dowels the motor needs to be machined and material took out, the same as oversize studs

there will always be a difference of opinion when it comes to building high hp motors in this country. some vendors swear by stuff (apex seals, doweling etc etc) as they have used it in the past and it has worked for them, some vendors swear by the bull.... factor to get more money in their pockets and have never gone over 1.5bar of boost for sustained peroids of time, but all have a dedicated following and followers take what they say as gospel.

i, personally just feel like the limits should be pushed until things break and learn from that rather than spend money on un-nesesary (sp) mods that don\'t work and that\'s my goal with robs motor build. tuning of which stopped at 1.8bar due to ecu resolution which is now cured, roll on the dyno and full  race fuel

from what i have seen with 20b\'s the biggest killer is twist due to mounting position, perhaps that should be a port of call first along with a thick boost/baffle plate to save the motor being torn down again and again.

think thats the longest post i have ever wrote, need to go lay down
