Hopefullly your cp bullets are still ok except maybe 1 and you can re-use all your other high end expensive valve train, hope the head is still good, new rings and swap it all into one of your other good sonic tested blocks. With any luck another 2k barra. Sweet as mate, turn her down a few notches and it should last more than 10 minutes lol.

Time to build another 2k barra

sh*t is that 2 vertical cracks with rusyy coolant coming thru? Rather terminal. May want to run less boost I reckon, be content with 600ish kws. But then we wont get many bad storys from terrotorys adventures. Will that need a new block or can the cracks be repaired and put in a sleeve?

Hahaha so highly practical family wagon.

Have you taken the wife out in it, or would she be not impressed at all by the insanity of it?? Lol

Great work. Its hard to imagine how that many killawasps would feel like on the road!! Whats the weak link in the driveline? The tires? All the best for the next Roll racing. I hope nothing lunches itself on the terry.

I wasnt being nasty and not sure if you took it too seriously, we know by now youre a pro, it was just some light banter between backyard barra mechanics.

Well if you dont get it done right, even though its easy, you might not be chopping many.

Dont forget quality is best, not necessarily quantity, especially when fixing a barra that will chop a few at roll racing.

Oh yea, might try a 4 port if my next move doesnt work, watch this space for updates.

@PuffwagonTalked to tuner about putting more spring in my 50mm ts gate. It currently has a 14 psi spring in it and we suspect its getting pushed open a bit cos boost drops at 5000rpm from 20 to 15ish despite 95% duty on mac 3 port feeding top and bottom of gate. Gonna try it. Should I put in a 3psi or 5psi spring in with the 14? I thought I will try get it to boost and hold 18psi all the way to 6k rpm because it currently has 750nm torque at 3k rpm and my short lived previous turbo combo gen2 gtx3582r on stock manifold had 550nm at 3k rpm. The barra loves to expell all its exhaust gasses out through the Artec and efr9174. A few less newton meters down low rpm might stop my rods bending I figure.

Sweet tires bro! They will get you through some sand.

Great work there Puff! Is it laggy as? When is full boost? It must be a handfull when she comes on with that much power. Hope the terry diffs and axles dont shat themselves at roll racing. Awesome stuff.

Sounds like you need a barra transplant in that boat.

@Puffwagon do you know if fg mid muffler is straight through or a bit restrictive? Im thinking of getting my exhaust engineered a bit, so iv already said before, but I have 4inch dump and 4 inch all the way to the 3inch flange under the car, the wg pipe plumbs into the 4 inch under the car. What im thinking is, to extend the 4 inch all the way to the mid muffler and put a flange before the muffler to step it back down to 3 inch, but also make a mid muffler delete 4 inch pipe that bolts up to the 3 inch flange that's after the muffler so I can experiment with and without the mid muffler and still retain the stock last 3 inch bit that goes up over the diff. It would effectively be a 3 quarter length 4 inch exhaust. Would it be any less restrictive by doing that? Or would there be no difference because of the last 3 inch bit? Another thought I had was to not plumb wg pipe back in and run it separately as far as I can under car beside main exhaust and point it down at the end. I could only make it get to before the back wheel, it cant make it go over diff cos of room. Would it be just as noisy as a full on short screamer pipe? A separate wg pipe would effectively de-restrict the main exhaust and it wouldnt need to be upsized.

Fix it man and keep this story rolling, some of us are on the edge of our seat waiting for the next bit.

Surely if youve got the number plate the cops would look into it, cos that is not normal behaviour. Frigging dirtbag pedos!

You get over sea sickness quickly once youve emptied your guts into the ocean and stepped back onto land. that's me anyway.

I reckon a upgraded prop for his boat.

I got half an inch clearance from 4 inch dump pipe to block, half an inch dump to steering column and half an inch from wg pipe to steering column. My wg pipe is only 40mm steam pipe though.

@Puffwagon if you think about it, its always one step forwards.

@hjtrbo great idea thanks

@Puffwagon when you re-seal your barra sumps back on do you prefer to have engine upside down or right way up? Im just wondering if I can take sump off and reseal it on without removing motor. I know I have to remove front subframe to get sump off, iv done it before. I remember when I had motor on a stand upside down and I put sump back on I didnt have a helper and it was pretty difficult by myself cos the sump is so big, I remember I had a couple of goes at lowering sump down onto block cos I was worried I had smeared the three bond. Im not sure what went wrong but it leaks on the right side up the front by the angled tab on the sump. In your opinion can the sump be taken off and resealed without taking off front cover and crank pulley? Should new half moon seals be used even if mine arent leaking? Thanks

Itll be worth the wait hopefully, at least your car isnt in the bin.

Whats in the bin puff?
