Eh, it happens, there's a couple of things to upgrade so I'll wait until then before I take it apart. Fuel pump and 320lb injectors are next on the list, then an intercooler upgrade.

I use a reasonably large brass wire wheel for the sump, it is a bit softer and only removes the silicone, not the metal. The smaller ones are less bendy and eat into stuff more.

He's dead Jim. Low comp in cyl 6, reckon I nicked a valve based on stuff and things. Perhaps running 45+psi on the setup wasn't the best idea but it went pretty hard lol. The pull that it made a noise was pretty hectic, the iats went from 30c up to 91c so that wouldn't have helped the cause. Anyway there's that, you get the good and the bad when you're testing things for yourself and I'm here to share it with you bunch of ohmos She'll be right, I'll pull it down when I get excited about it again, got other sh*t to do for now but it will be back

So yeah I worked out how to switch it back to road speed. It's pretty easy tuning when the car will auto tune the cells and you can hold it in the cell you want until it's done. I can't wait to drive the car again, it's gonna be so much better than before and it was already good before!

Woo I worked out how to have the dyno hold the car at a specified rpm. I'm gonna do some more tuning on my VN, it's getting better by the day and now that I can specify the rpm, the dyno will do the work for how much load it needs to apply. Now I just gotta work out what key switches it back to road speed.

It'll either be farken awesome or a big let down, like the time I got an rc car for Xmas when I was 10 and the parentals forgot to buy batteries

Old mate is gonna buy a couple of parts that it needs, I'll fit them and see how we go.

Ok $300 plus the cost of credits, only until Xmas, after that it goes to regular pricing. There are stipulations regarding the extent of your mods. Send an pm or leave a comment here and I'll get you sorted. Also doing $100 power runs until Xmas for any rwd or front wheel drive cars.

Yes it is a turbo one, I'm not tuning it, I'm just fixing it. It's already tuned apparently and it made 70rwkw with no boost, so should double with 20 or more psi in it.

Also an epic way of shafting myself lol

It's making no boost so it wont be hard to make double the power

Ya know what would be funny? If I did $300 tunes for forum members until the end of the year.

Yay Tuesday, did fixing on a rodeo today. Will do more fixing again soon and hopefully double the power output.

A razor blade is good enough to clean the block, you use a wire wheel on the sump.

Ink for the dyno printer arrived today, the printer is leaving blank lines across the page. I run a print alignment process a couple times, no better. I run various cleaning processes and no better. Finally 2.5 hours later, I manage to get a couple of drivers installed and can now send prints over the network to my printer in the house. Farken yay and fark me

Fingers crossed for early next year, things are cooking

Don't worry, it's gonna happen

That's not the kind of thing that is a bolt on affair by itself. It wouldn't fit unless the manifold supplier made it to suit a specific turbo etc. I've bought a couple of barra high mount manifolds from 6boost and while they were advertised to suit the same style turbo, there was half an inch difference in clearance between the rocker cover. You can get a dump made to fit your exhaust fairly cheaply and that's what everyone does.

If I'm having a party it ain't gonna be a home brew party...a dyno comp with bbq would be better

Haha never, those beers are all mine

Was gonna run up a Pajero today but the guy changed his mind. All good, nothing wrong with having Sunday off anyway

Well I'm making it faster than I'm drinking it and that's what matters lol

I currently have 106 home brew long necks bottled and another brew on to be ready in 4 days. Woot

I made a bunch of onion rings for a snack. They taste good but the last few have gotten cold and now it feels like I'm eating onion on toast

The Caprice showed up and we ran it up a few times. Made a best of 239rwkw, looking arguably a million times better than the equivalent Ford
