  1. 17 When I bought it. 30 now..
  2. Add lightness and set the car up properly.
  3. Few small updates - Picked up a billet Garret GTX2971R Fitted up mostly But I may have a new distraction
  4. Alright it's been a while since I last updated. First up I got it tuned and it currently has 173 extremely linear hp at the wheels. Overlaying it against my 280 hp graph is disappointing. Polished the inlet manifold and added some color. If it's slow at least it can look pretty. Anyway, took it out to QR for a shakedown. Initial feel and throttle response is great. Lost the bolt which stops the throttle body over extending so that ended the day prematurely. Next up was Jamboree. I wanted to run the gas but couldnt justify the cost of a new clutch just to run it for 1 day. Threw some
  5. Thanks Guys, I was after something a little different after my last engine gave up. It's a K20Z4 and gearbox. Plan A was a Kawasaki zx14 engine/gearbox + turbo. Was deemed too hard/not reliable enough. Enter Honda power. I've got a heap more pictures and details I'll update later. It's actually pretty involved getting one of these in there. Especially when you ram it this far back to improve the weight distribution. Will also have a 125hp shot of nos to get it moving on the drag strip for Jamboree this year,
  6. Well it was an eventful end to the year. A very wet track was no good for PB's but I managed to be at least 3 seconds a lap quicker than zuboo and miles ahead of the rest. Another First in Class and First outright for the day. This being the 6th and final round I also received 2 first trophies for the Season. The Zuboo boys cleaned up. There is another 2 trophies from the street series too. Multiple excursions off the track, including getting beached in the rocks after turn 1. After the final session the engine started to get a be hot. Could be head gasket or could be some damage fr
  7. Got off the dyno after a little check. Pinged coming on boost and was the same up top. Pretty reflective of slightly more CR. 192hp on 11psi. Actuator pressure brings the boost on pretty gradually. Given the stock engine, might be for the best. 7200rpm limit, stock 5efe
  8. I didn't know any of you guys followed WTAC, I've been heading down the last 5 years with the Mighty mouse honda CRX. He managed 3rd in Pro AM. I had my doubts about how quick the sva car would be but it certainly proved itself with a 1:29 with all the obvious issues they were having. Was gutted watching the driver have to run across a live race track to get his own fire extinguisher as the car burned Andy Forest was a top guy to chat to. One of the friendliest guys I've ever met. He did absolutely everything he could to get another box in it for Saturday but it ended up being far too
  9. I haven't been deterred. Trying to think of a way to progress in the future, I have bought a toyota paseo to keep me going in the mean time. 170 000km 5efe Auto Bolt-ons baby! It's at the dyno now for a conservative tune. Should hopefully see me out the year of racing. 11 months of updates in an Hour!!!
  10. Last Month I headed out to the 5th round of open sprints with some new tires. Just so happened porshe had a club day on at the same time. Finished 2nd outright only to lose to a radical and 1st in class. Managed to turn 5 laps before a big end came knocking... Results: A few shattered Porsche egos. Ben came in just behind me in the zuboo racing k20 swift. http://racing.natsoft.com.au/637380663/object_995546.85I/Result?1 New 205-50-15 Yokies! 1x spun big end 3x severely worn big ends, 1x damaged crank, 4x marked pistons and bores and shredded oil pump as well.
  11. Next up it went back to the Drags for Jamboree. I got 3 qualifying runs in. an 11.4 and 2x 11.2's with a badly slipping clutch. I turned down the boost for Sunday eliminations to fix the clutch issues which worked. We ran Chicago shootout for eliminations. I won the first 2 rounds. Final round I was against Josh where he let me win but I still managed to screw it up and break out pulling another 11.2 on an 11.3 dial in all with less boost and a worse launch You can hear the 2-step. It builds around 8-10psi quickly Clutch slipping badly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2fpf2MYFwc
  12. Trip to the dyno in August. Installed a 3 stage switch for boost selection and a 2-step rev limite + steering wheel button. 3-way switch on dash lets me selet what the button on the steering wheel does. It's either a 2-step rev limiter or an overboost button which reverts to the highest map. Was interesting... Boost controller died, tps died, spark plugs died, clutch slipped, injectors maxed, turbo pretty much maxed. Last time on that dyno actuator plumbed directly to turbo it ran 184hp on 14psi and 242hp on 20psi. Im guessing it was a little low, it was on semislicks and also ran
