I'm sure there will be something I missed which I will add later.
The car is an auto at the min and I will tune it with it as I want to run it at Calder and see what it runs. We are putting bets on how many runs it will take and how quick the car will go.
The car made 180rwkw with a slipping auto and then decided to blow out the inlet manifold gasket so the head is coming off and just about there.
I will chuck a cam in it and do some head porting while its off as well.
While the head was off i put in.
Camtech cam.
Ported the head.
Double valve springs.
New lifters
REseated the valves
APR head studs
Cometic Head gasket
The auto is now out and the R33 gearbox is in

Yeah mate that's the way they are in photobucket when I copied all links.
There is a few reasons one was it blew the gasket between the upper and lower manifold there was a low spot I had to take 8 thou off to square it up.
2nd the auto is knackered.
Just the other week before I riped the auto out I had it on the dyno after the head work we did and the cam as soon as I load the car up on the dyno it's slips. If you follow the graph it was above 170 with the manual in 20psi and e85 should top a nice 300.
Picking up the tailshaft some time today and my modified steering rack should turn up today as well

Finally found some time to get it on the dyno and tune it. At 19psi just topping 300rwkw the old Turbosmart boost tee is getting a bit sad and wouldn't let me keep going past 19 it's been in a few of my cars over the years.

04-04-11, 11:38 GMT+10#11 Yeah should be enough go to burn some rubber I do like lots of tyre smoke tho which is should chuck out a fair bit. Also keen to see how it goes on e85 could turn the boost down a little and make the same power or go harder and crank the boost right up and see how long the engine last.
