no valve springs?!

The fitting of the process west gear and full exhaust has removed a lot of the back pressure and made the valve springs job a lot easer, BF valve springs are half decent anyway.

felix, ok mate ill get ya a vid, just want to make sure its a good one ya know

as its a BF2 the valve springs should be fine...

and judging from NATHOON`s achievments with almost identical mods, im hoping to crack 400 on the 109 race fuel as nathoon made around 375rwkw from memory on 98ron.

so in the spirit of things im gonna bid 401rwkw

running the clutch in, whats that???? you mean repetative launches at 5000rpm in close succession?

nah I wont slip it too much and get it nice and hot for a good 1000k`s or so... otherwise it should be fine to hold heaps of power straight away so long as its not slipping...

what ever happened to your clutch scribr? sort it yet?

well your 800km drive should have it sorted

just shift between 4th-6th a bit and that'll b your run in done!

nah after sitting around for an hr waiting I didnt get the 1 I was going to get.. sooo.. I duno.. prob just get a mal wood option 3.. but im saving for trip around europe for next year so I cant be assed with a clutch atm.. cause as soon as I do it ill go "ah I can get my cooler & cat now" and the spending spree will begin

ok well it seems the kit works very well. we ran up a street tune of 366rwkw @ 15psi.

then we added in my 20% toluene mix and tuned it again to come up with 396rwkw @ 17psi with approx 1200nm of torque. more peak power was there to be had but I wanted torque down low not so much peak power on this tune. I say approx torque as wheel spin on dyno was giving us dramas. it came up as 1140nm but tyres were turning so who knows?

we didnt try the 110 martini`s turbo 1400 race fuel as we were running out of time and I didnt really want to push my stock bottom end much further anyways, but I have no doubt that it would have run 410+rwkw easy with the extra octane and oxygen to boot.

as for the clutch, ill reserve judgement for a little while longer and spend some more time with it but its very promising so far. only a slight shudder when moving off that's getting better each day and I think will dissappear once it has fully bedded in. apart from that, its like factory.

car drives great on the street tune, very fast. the aggressive tune is nuts, just the way I wanted it unless the road has a good surface it will turn tyres in 4th no worries.

and lastly, I simply could not say enough good things about dave @ collinsville performance in mackay (kown on here as blueboost)... without a doubt one of the best blokes I have ever met who really doesnt mind taking the time to get every part of the car perfect and really knows his sh*t. thanks again mate!
