Had a busy week this week got the Rolla up to Goleby's Parts/ Forced Performance to put in my new built motor and new parts.

 

Put my 6 boost manifold and turbo on and everything fits so well. Got a full stainless exhaust made.

Had a few small issues like cams that didn't clear the motor so head needed a bit of machining to fit. But it's all in and running now and I'm getting very excited about what the future holds for the old girl.

 

Have a few more gauges and stuff to wire up but all should be done this weekend and I can start enjoying her a bit.

 

She hit the rollers this afternoon for a quick tune. Made 265hp on 10 psi and 315 on 14 psi so I'm excited to see what some real boost will put down.

 

Sorry about the upside down dyno graph can't figure out how to spin it on my ipad......

wow, thats lots! time to update the sig.

Ah yes I forgot about that maybe I should leave it till I race on Wednesday night.

cool, willowbank? I look forward to seeing how she goes, would be a handful but with the auto and radials should be a good time.

Destroyed a flex plate so while the box and converter was out to get repaired it's getting modified for a extra 500 rpm stall will have it back Monday so I'm hoping everything is still good for Wednesday night. Heaps of mates heading down racing as we have a public holiday here on Thursday.

ok that sucks. Why a broken flex plate? Mine is factory sr20 so you have me wondering now.

No it was the converter that caused the issue it wasn't machined right in the centre originally and caused preloading on the flex plate causing the converter bolts loose. Which caused the the damage, it is fixed now just getting modified to stall higher as I felt it was just a little to low. It will climb up on to boost but takes 5-10 seconds as it's close to being big enough. Another 500rpm will make it just less stress on everything and make it faster to stall it up

ahh, ok fair enough, you've got it all sorted again pretty quick. hopefully the extra 500 rpm will do the trick, a bit less heat in the gearbox on the line.

That was my main worry and the reason to change it while it was out and easy. If this doesn't work I can always put the spray back on it but I don't really want to as my aim is to keep the car a "true street" car. My main reason for changing everything of late is my goal is to be one of the faster 4 cylinders at Queensland Drag Week https://www.facebook.com/pages/Queensland-Drag-Week/214905535345128 an event that will see street cars travel a lot of Kms and racing at 5 different tracks over 5 days. Towing trailers carrying all their own tools and spare parts with no outside help.

Race time tomorrow night getting keen, diff gears have been changed to 3.89's it picks up a lot better than the 3.45's so will have to see how it goes.

that would have to be pretty close to leaving you short of gears in the deep end wouldnt it? would be revving across that line. looking forward to the results!

Got 2 runs in before I had converter bolt issues again....... Drove the car down (120kms approx) first run 10.65@127 blowing the breather fitting off my cam cover and spewing oil onto the track and my dump pipe from 3/4. Track that fixed I then followed it up with a 10.75@127. Seemed to be geared just right first shift light of 4 came on both runs as I was crossing the line and I can still lift the revs 800rpm yet if needed. Added bonus was Sleepercorty managed to run into the nines and drove the 250km round trip. I'll throw some videos up tomorrow night when I get a chance
