Got any figures on how much those injectors flow at 3 bar?

And the saga continues. Factory V factory, there seems to be a fairly clear winner here as far as power potential from a long motor goes. Beyond that, it comes down to how much money do you want to spend?

I've had 452's and with 370rwkw, they don't grip nearly as well as the Toyo T1R. The T1R is also quieter. The 452's tram line fairly bad when they begin to wear as well. The T1R has been superseded by the T1 sport. I grabbed the last set of T1R's my dealer had but I'll be giving the T1 sport a go next. Anyone tried them?

Yep. About the same amount as is required in extra flow which is around 22%.

I'll be down the big pub having a little drink with my tuner/engine builder after 9. Might flash the valet tune and drink lots of milk beforehand.

Seems like you kind of have the cooling effect of water-methanol and the higher octane rating. Maybe they could market E85 + fuels with the line "Got Timing?".

There's ya problem then. If you switch from SUBERIBLE to SUBMERSIBLE, it may fix the issue. On that note, I've been using a clear reinforced food grade hose. It costs about $3 a meter and have not had any issues in 2.5 years.

Enjoy your 3 speed. But there are other 4 speeds available that will hold 800-1000hp. There's a Jatco (can't remember the model) and the 4l60/65. If I wanted to go old-school, a glide would be on the cards. Perfect for our heavy, torque monster cars.

While I agree that the BTR is not the strongest box in the world, how you drive it will go a long way towards longevity and reliability. My box held 315rwkw-370rwkw for 2.5 years before it needed a freshen up. And even then, it was well under $100 in parts. I never boot it unless I've selected the gear I want first and OD never gets much of a workout. This was without a trans cooler using a non-synthetic oil RVO in Dandenong built it BTW. Was about 3k.

BKR6E is all you need.

Okay then...

Stupid question, but you do let the pump prime before you start the car don't you?

Crow ovate alpha springs are out of the USA AFAIK. Who knows where they get them made???

What did he say? I couldn't hear him over the pumps Nice piece of work.

Yeah, 12 months ago Trav Unfortunately, some things are just beyond control. Like waiting for parts and changing my mind on spec's. Looks like and of March-ish at this point.

I use copper vgrooves pre-gapped to .8 and I gap them to .7. Idle with the dekas is crapy but I don't seem to blow out spark.

There are quite a few Barra's spinning to 7500+ rpm on hydraulic lifters. As has been mentioned, cams need changing if you want to make power past 6000rpm. The Atomic stage 5 cam will make power past 7500 rpm from what I've seen. On solids, you should make a little more power and gain some rpm as well. Are they "needed"? Depends on what you are trying to achieve. It's been proven that 600+rwkw is achievable on stock heads, cams and hydraulics with a sub 80mm turbo. As I see it, things like cams, solid lifters, porting, extra machine work etc will give you efficiency and therefore make more power with the same/less boost giving you a greater power potential before things like heads lifting and stuff breaking happens. That's why we're going to the lengths we are going to.

Head got flowed this week and we picked up around 200hp N/A. Also purchased various Atomic parts including vernier cam gears, oil pump, flex plate, head gasket, timing chain and crank sprocket. Looks like early next year for the engine assembly.

For what reason/s would you consider transflective LCD's a gimmick? What technology is being used in this unit to make it "genuine sunlight readable"?

Sunlight readable might refer to a transflective LCD.

Problem with the XR8 bulge for me is that more of the side view I see, the more I start feeling . Actually, didn't I read or hear somewhere that the design was conceived in a little known country called Barfvaria? And may I add,

Please, no! Although it is your car and your decision ultimately. But please, no

Sounds like they got over heated a tad me thinks.

eh.. I'll wait for the 9

Now that's a tailshaft loop.
