As for putting one in a full tuber - Rigoli's have been toying with the idea, based on the success of my combo. Not sure if it will come about, but hey, you never know.

hopefully it will end up being a nice day.

the I6 in the little TRP Corolla would be fun

I was thinking about heading up for Friday but I hear the weather is looking bad up in Sydney. Are any of you guys heading out to powercruise in March?

we will be heading out to Powercruise.

Joe considered doing one for the Capri after we checked out the old Envy Dyno Falcon. but, he likes the V8's. i think a 1200-1500hp 4L I6 wouldn't drive as well on the street as the 4L V8 equivalent. not sure that the I6 could take the punishment the V8 does. Toyota overengineers it's parts big time. we still use alot of factory parts on the V8, parts that have to be upgraded in the I6.

He he he - never say never eh! But you are right, it probably would require more effort than the v8 to manage both street and strip duties.

Are you taking the capri to powercruise? or just going to spec

It sux that the weather spoiled a chance to see if the coil was causing problems. Let's hope that the 11th is a nice day. I feel the need for some speed....

yeah, the weathers been terrible for the racers lately. we might go out on Wednesday and do a few hits. we are putting some new front shock inserts in also. which will improve the driving on street and track.

dieseltrain79 · 04-02-2012, 10:04 AM

Might go round corners now Prasac .... ;)

might need 80/20's ya reckon?

lil inside joke there Phil, we were told by a few people that a car needs 90/10 shocks to run 8's, and that it can't drive on the street as it would flip

we found it funny considering Joe runs 60/40's

so we made a lil video and posted it on youtube.

thanks mate. hopefully be there, if it's all good probably throw the Race E85 and put the boost a 2-3psi (that's all wastegate springs allow) i think he wants a couple more meets out of it before the new engine goes in. he is getting all excited to put it on radials and run the new APSA x275 class.

Giant · 05-02-2012, 03:34 PM

I am getting itchy feet I think I might make the trip from Canberra next Saturday I miss the smell of burning rubber lol.

should be a good day out

we need to get the car prepared for Sydney Jambo, the track last year was awesome, we broke the gearbox on it

though, the box was only built to handle 800hp, noone imagined it would do 100 passes with over 1000hp. gearbox guy would ring after every meet, did the box break yet?

Yeah - I am keen as to get more passes in before Sydney Jambo for sure! Weather forecast is bleak again - but who knows. We could be lucky......

Giant · 06-02-2012, 12:21 PM

You got to love a nice tight box!

you might be we don't have that luck. WholeSale Suspension got the shocks done today, go and pick them up and head out Wednesday going to take my daily also, $2k is too good to pass up for the Perfect Reaction

Sydney Jambo will be good, will have to enter in Extreme this year, need to get some testing in with 150lbs more weight and 275 drag radials, new class he wants to race in, APSA x275.

Giant · 06-02-2012, 03:03 PM

They last longer with the correct lube! Truck it I might come up for Wednesday so I can race Paulie in his camry / aurion.

the Aurions smash all the NA Falcons and Commodore 6's

hopefully i can cut another perfect light

Giant · 06-02-2012, 04:00 PM

I might bring the camry then or borrow dads aurion. Hopefully i can cut a perfect light haha

How did things pan out last night? Was it on?

At Jambo in Qld I raced in Modified Compact. Was a pretty good field.

Picked up my tyres today fitted with drag tubes now so I can control the tyre pressures better. Will make life a heap easier. Now just some sunshine for Saturday and I will be a happy man.

Am getting married in two weeks, so will only have a couple more meets before Sydney Jambo in me....

CYC06T · 09-02-2012, 03:29 PM

Hey Paulie, do you think the Envy/DLM guys will make it out to the track by Jambo?

The new combo sounds tuff, so am keen to see it run.

it rained last night so it wasn't on unfortunately.

tubes should make it a bit more stable in the deep end as well, being on the heavier side its always good.

from what Spiro from DLM was saying they will be testing in Sydney (not sure when) and then taking it to Jambo QLD for a big hitout. has a big Precision turbo, Spiro didn't give exact specs apart from big

from the looks of it i'm thinking it's about an 1800hp turbo

CYC06T · 09-02-2012, 07:56 PM

Bummer. Doesn't look that promising for Saturday either I'd say. we will see. There is always hope.

Should be interesting to see how the DLM car goes. Might have to check out a precision turbo at some point myself...

yeah, we are going to leave it for next Wednesday. 5 or 6 of the boys are going out for a hit, so Joe will take the Capri out.

Precision is definitely the way to go for a drag racing turbo, they spend time doing R&D for drag cars. Borg Warner, Garrett etc are more focused on the street cars. Spiro loves the Ford 4L I6's im sure he'd love to have you run a Precision Turbo on there

he is a very smart guy when it comes to turbo cars, im not just saying that because he sponsors us, im not the type of guy that would do that just to get a set of turbo's. i have turbo's already for my car, i didn't need them. when asked i have always recommended Precision Turbo to people. the GT42R's i have are a great turbo, but, i honestly believe the Precisions will be a better match for us. we will be getting some for the Capri this year also, Joe wants mid 7's

i reckon a Pro Mod PT94 would look good in there

I think it would look good too!

I might have to drop Spiro a line and see if he's interested in supporting. I am always cognizant though that he may not want to support multipple teams all chasing the one prize. Hey - you never know.... Plenty of good advertising potential

I would love to take the taxi into the 7's thats for sure. It definitely needs a diet before that is likely to happen though.....

I have signed up for tomorrow. Im not hopeful it will pan out based on the weather over night out west, but if not then FTF next week.

Time will tell...

Giant · 10-02-2012, 10:10 AM

Looking forward to the first sunny day that they run, but not looking forward to how many cars will turn out. LOL

Aint that the truth. I fear it will be busy!

icer · 10-02-2012, 10:36 AM

people who say gt42 + i6 is a good setup for street are like old greek arrogant men. They live with the LAG when a GTX series is so much better.

GT42 is so 2005 :P

Would love to see a PT turbo upgrade on a stock t3 flange for us who dont want to change much! DML should get something made up. Good for 600rwkw with full boost by 3500rpm and no lag.

Am I dreaming?? :( lol

Road Games · 10-02-2012, 11:20 AM

Yes you are a dreamer but we are used to it Bill.

it doesn't hurt to ask. i actually rang Precision Turbo in the US was looking to see what turbo's would be the best for the Capri. PTE US told me to ring Spiro here (he is the biggest Precision dealer) we got talking, he asked around about us and said he would like to sponsor our 10.5 car. if he doesn't completely sponsor you i reckon he would be happy to work out a good deal and help you out.

he loves drag racing, i think he is the type of guy that doesn't matter what team your from or if it would conflict with him, he is still willing to help.

i might go out and watch on Saturday, though if its too nice a day i might go drink somewhere on the waterfront

imagine how it is for me, i have to get a 4.6L to spool up 2 GT42R's. if a 4L has trouble spooling up 1 how is a 4.6L gonna spool up 2

bit of headwork, cam, good converter, E85 and a good tune a GT42R can work on the street. we chopped and changed my GT42R's to make them as good for my engine as possible. 75mm turbine wheel instead of 82mm, smaller than normal housing. T4 .91 instead of T4 1.01 etc etc. not sure how it will work, the future will tell.

the brother's 4L has 2 XR6T turbo's on it, starts to spool at around 3500rpm, by 6200rpm it's got 30psi. it can drive awesome on the street and do low 8-sec passes at the track. you work out the right combo and it will work fine.
