From what I hear we are waiting on the local dyno operator to get back from holidays. He's a little paranoid about his staff operating his dyno when there's a big HP car on it and he's not around. When he's back there will be one more tuning session on the dyno, to see what the standard...

I went with water to air because an air to air will not fit my car. Having just finished hooking up my water to air PWR kit on my car I can say that for certain, the water to air would be best suited for drags and short bursts of high boost, and an air to air would undoubtably be the best for...

Another update.... I've just re-encoded all the video's and corrected the lighting levels so you can actually see the car during the burnouts and the overview walk around that I did. At the moment the engine is stock internally. I'm not exactly sure of Anthony's plans with the car in this...

I forgot to mention that they give big points for popping tyres, which Anthony did not do, but Brenton did in the centura once. Much to the detrement of the his panel work as it busted a hole into his boot from inside the wheel well. As we discussed this afternoon they are going to have to...

I agree, but think it had something to do with the judges not being able to see the car. Burnout comps here are judged on a few things. 1. Car appearence, which Anthony winds hands down as the car has won best paint at a few car shows, and the centura was in flat black. 2. smoke 3. sound...

thefastJ, I've found that http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/prod176.htm are one of the cheapest places around to get garrett GT turbo's. About air temp, you can't get any real idea of actual air temp from reading the skin temperature of intake plumbing. This will only give you an idea...

Just a suggestion Lex, but you should try running your intercooler fans 100% of the time, and add water spray nossels to them. You can pump water from your windscreen washer tank, and use a pressure switch to switch on the water pump. 160 deg F (70 deg C) is too hot for making big power...

I imagine I'm about to step on a few people toes here, but here's my opinion. This is basically how the most successful turbo'd rice burners over here in OZ get so much HP. WRX's, Lancers and skylines this is pretty much the common approach to getting big HP. If I could offer one word of...

Hi everyone, Here are the vids... Enjoy... Pictures of Fatty's Car http://www.cairns.net.au/~nqeaho/Fatty/DSC00862.JPG http://www.cairns.net.au/~nqeaho/Fatty/DSC00863.JPG http://www.cairns.net.au/~nqeaho/Fatty/DSC00864.JPG http://www.cairns.net.au/~nqeaho/Fatty/DSC00867.JPG...

Hi Everyone, Anthony's car is finally street tuned. All the problems sorted out.... at last PHEWWW... The results are somewhat scary... speaking from personal experience when Anthony took me for a lap around the block. Running 6lb boost the car produced 450+ RWHP with wheelspin (on a Gtech...

Well delayed again... due to a leaking cam seal but with that replaced now it all should be happening this weekend I "believe". They dyno tuner is keen to do the job, and i've got the camera gear booked to do the filming. I'll post updates as they happen. Cheers, Ian.

R-Jay, you've got dam good hearing to have heard Anthony say that, I there standing next to him and I couldn't hear what he said! I guess it was because I'd been sitting in the with it running for about 2 hours tho, so my hearing was probably a little shot. Some other interesting facts about...

[videos are missing] Here are two vids of the car running at last. We had major problems with trigger sensors. But it seems that most of these faults are caused by the battery volts being low. The lower battery volts went, the worse the trigger sensoring became. More vids to come once its...

ITS ALIVE!!! We finally got it running this afternoon. Still a lot of tuning to do but it sounds awesome and it gets revs VERY quickly. Anthony reckons he can hear the wastegates opening when its free reved, but personally I couldn't hear **** cause the 3" exhaust is blowing straight thru with...

Hi All, We've begun to tune Anthony's twin turbo V8 but are having all kinds of problems establishing base fuel map figures with the wolf. It ran rich for a while, that was until we ran out of fuel.... thus ending tonights test and tune session. I'd like to start again tomorrow with a map that...

Hi all, I stopped by Fatty's workshop this evening and had a chat about the car again. He's was doing all the wiring of the little electronic toys that make it kick just a little more ass. I thought you all might want to know the specs of the setup, so here it is before I forget it all...

I've been reading the forced induction forum for a few days now. Interesting that the Wolf engine management is being used on quite a few cars out there. It's become quite the popular engine management. I noticed that Fatty hadn't posted pics of his car yet, so I figured i'd help out by...
