Nice job Dave, very neat

[Shtstr]

just tidy's it up mate. Must of helped after we won a trophy in the top 20 at the North Coast Street Machine show in Ballina in January this year..

Well i can't say too much as the owner of the Blue meany said it was playing up and that's why i was able to run him down and round it up so easy. But it was on a race track and as far as i'm concerned it was a fair run he started in front and was able to put his foot down first but i just had too much for him. haha Will upload video later on as i need to get it turned up the right way on the screen hahaha wife's phone not mine. My car was defiantly quicker this time out with the new tune and was hitting 200 when i'm backing off 150m on the straight so well and truly capable of more then 220 now on the main straight at Lakeside.

[Shtstr]

Here is a link to a short video of 2 runs down the main straight. first run we both backed off at 160 second i backed off at 200. https://www.facebook...&type=2

Post was deleted. Tried to post it on here but wont load. Too big of file.

Car is going down next week to get re-tune now i have a new actuator to hold the boost at 18 psi for the full rev range. Might get lucky and crack that 300kw mark @rw / (400hp) what every it ends up with will be it for quite a while. After the tune on Friday it will make a return to the drag strip for the first time in 2 years.

Last time cost me over 2800 in repairs after a engine mount let go on the line and damaged the turbo and oiled the clutch up.

Last time out with damage leaving the line 60 foot time of 2.6+ seconds backing off to get the clutch to lock up ran a 13.6 @ 101mph. Currently i have over 150 more HP (will be more next Friday) and a lot better clutch and new engine mount haha.

Well car was dropped off tonight to get the re-tune now for the new actuator. Pushes 18-20 psi now so can't wait to see what it makes. Pick it up tomorrow arvo.

[N/A-PWR]

Should be plenty of surprises Dave,

If you cannot wait, either can us.

18-20 psi is a good figure, Dave I

[Shtstr]

Well not happy JAN. new actuator still not holding boost at 18 psi. still made more power and climes quicker then before.

I can't for the life of me find where you said where you got your chroming done for the grill and head light surrounds?.......How's it holding up a few years later?

I need to get mine do soon

[Shtstr]

Got the grill and head light surrounds done at Eagle Farm. Can't remember the name of the company. Still look mint to this day.

Been looking at upgrading the turbo and manifolds on the old girl. Made my own exhaust manifold to fit in the engine bay.

You can never have to much power.

[N/A-PWR]

Hello Dave,

 

Your Torana would glow in the dark, and sparks will fly out the exhaust soon too.

 

A very well planned unit you have. 

You can never have to much power.

[Shtstr]

Spark allready fly. Ask anyone who was at toranafest 2013. Set fire to the paddock haha.

[Shtstr]

Mmmm been offered a 3lt forged bottom end. Not sure if I should take it or not. If I do it will be more than capable of making upwards of 550hp@rw. What do you guys think.
