  1. I'd say input shaft unfortunately. I watched one of your videos around the racetrack, the downshifts are pretty rough, you need to upgrade the shaft to the 6r80 shaft.
  2. What wheels you looking at? I went with king springs and decent shocks, cheaper and better ride imho.
  3. Nice, I was just curious as I run 22-23psi but have no idea what power I've got. Keep getting told I need to use e85.
  4. Yeah too much haha overboosted earlier and hit 28psi, engine seems to be okay. My ebc died and must have closed the solenoid. What are you up too?
  5. Nice work. There's not always a need to use e85. What boost pressure if you don't mind me asking?
  6. Just buy a good one and be done with it, saves upgrading in the future.
  7. I agree, I don't think the friction difference between twin 2 1/2 and single 3 1/2 would cause enough of a restriction to worry about.
  8. Keith, yours looks more mercury silver?
  9. I like it looking slow, less attention. Only thing that stands out is the big plazmaman intercooler
  10. Car made the 450km trip to Adelaide and survived, always paranoid something will go wrong with it haha 12.5lt per 100kms All new suspension, it handles like a dream, especially in the hills and having it on 22psi there's no worries overtaking.
  11. Oh dear. That's a little bit different.
  12. Mounted my Ngauge in the driver's vent, still not sure if I like it there.
  13. I agree with both of you, I was just stating the fact you cannot overlook the importance of street tuning, it has it's place as does dyno tuning.
  14. I don't think anyone is wrong, and I didn't mean it to come across as knock sensors being able to tell you that you've exceeded a torque/spark limit. I know of lots of big powered cars that have been street tuned and finished with the dyno. Street tuning has it's place, but there's lots of things that you will feel on the street that a dyno won't pick up. You can't say that street tuning is useless.
  15. Dyno numbers don't mean much unless you have the times to back it up at track. If you have the right monitoring hardware, knock sensors etc, you can normally feel how a car is responding to various tune changes. I'm more talking about WOT and hi airload areas here, our engines are knock limited so in theory will hit a knock limit not a power limit. Obviously depends on fuel and rpm too. If you think you can dial a car in perfectly on a constant ramp rate and think this is going to show all real world conditions then you're dreaming.
  16. There's is nothing wrong with road tuning if done correctly. Just need to make sure you collect the right data so you know you're heading in the right direction and not pushing the limits of engine or hardware. Many cars get road tuned and set up on the street then checked and finished on the dyno.
  17. Done some wiring for my fuel pumps, thought I'd have a crack at doing it properly.
  18. Yeah -10an inlet and -6an outlet but changed it to -8an
  19. Changing mine to peirburgs for the same reasons
  20. Nulon's oil isn't too expensive and I've had it in my gearbox for a few years with no issues at all, I have no idea how much power I've got but car is on 22psi and I drive it like it's stolen haha
