Ended up with just over 440 on 20 psi and ALOT of torque! Still tidying up afew things and should be ready soon, not rushing i. Gona brig boost back to 17 were it still makes over 400 and keeps away from detonation! Don't want wat happened to my last motor! Na jack Cbf, even if I did have it I still wouldn't taken it!

I still cant get over that torque figure, are all RB's making that much torque at these power levels? What torque are you expecting when you pump it up to full boost on E85?

Not sure mate, haven't looked at wat other cars are making with similar setups, the torque is pretty impressive, can't wait to drive it, should fry sum tyres :-)

Tuff car mate, love the colour and the whole build. Should be sweet once this thing is finished.

Cheers bud

I actually wana bin the whole setup and put an lsx in it, but I've invested a lot of $$$ as it is, now I have to do it again! Ye wouldn't mind putting a 26 head on with the 42, bigger injectors and better fuel! No more of this pump fuel ****! Either that or finish the car and *** it off! Had enuf and been completely disheartened with all the *** ups...

yeah understandable, i had a car like that years ago and always had problems with it. It would be cheaper to do the 26/30 as you have most of the goods ready to go. Call me and i can help out with what i can.

Thats life a Good effort mo mate no one can knock all you hard work. Ps I think you should note the bad worke shop that gave you the run around or atleast the street lol. Not that I promoting any workshop wars but if I was building a car like yours man I would not want to get stung n I'm Sure u don't want any one els too either. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ppl know who it is and if any1 likes they can pm me for more detail.

Sad to hear this, i was keen to find out how well the SOHC+GT42+H pattern would go

Such is life ai....

You'll work it out, i wouldnt sell the shell though, it looks real pretty Put that LSX + GT42 in it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Don't wanna sell the shell, perfectly straight, no rust anywhere and immac paint, I just wands flog the driveline off, after it's been rebuilt again.

Quick generic question not trying to start anything but were these injectors cleaned and tested? I remember some 2nd hand ones your grabbed but can't remember if they were tested? Or we're they some new ones you purchased?

How much u after for it? Sucks to hear mate, just put new pistons in it rehone, re ring and hit it again Otherwise lsx time

Thx Brett. vltrb-0, that's pretty much the plan man.

What were the pistons? Not a full forged? Something like a hypatech or whatever?
