  1. id really like a side by side torque graph before and after cams. that would be perfect and tell me exactly what i want to know
  2. both vids were at 10 psi not 14-15 60-100 was 3rd gear then 4th
  3. my bad they are the clips lol did you wet the wrap before fitting?
  4. you need to overlap it more mate i can see gaps all over the place. overlap 50% that way theres always 2 layers on it
  5. google isnt much help theres a couple of threads knocking about but couldnt find anything with fi aswell
  6. dont know if its bill schimmel or not i was under the impression they are american cams but google suggests german??
  7. down on boost due to a knackered charger (again) but did a full bore launch for the 1st time and jesus wept it suprised me!! it lights all 4 up even with stock 4wd controller!! also done a 60-100 mph test can i embed vids here yet?
  8. anybody running forced induction with schimmels? what are the options? where do you get them from?
  9. i had the orange controller which is similer to that and it transformed the car
  10. depends on a few things 1st genuine weak link is clutch i have a shell helix and im running about 390 lb ft (having said that the stock clutch felt fine to me with that much i only changed it because it was worn out) the gearbox itself is next which seems to be an issue up past 450-500 lb ft
  11. probably not me the charger MIGHT be ruined tootling down the road low rpm i hear a very faint noise reminding me of the vortech charger on the vr hmmmmm turned radio off dropped out of gear over the next 10 secs it gets a little louder then engine stalls. i instantly thought charger took cap off oil reservoir bit of steam/smoke in there but no oil :bigcry: 2 likeley possibilities are it dropped the oil in a hurry which means it wasnt low for very long or its leaked out over the last 5 days and its siezed the charger :bigcry: :bigcry: if its the latter im stuffed as i cant afford another char
  12. bloody good engines damn shame the car has too many sensors though lol
  13. 2.0 secs 60 ft time my god the track mustve been good that day
  14. look mate im not on 20k a year!! theyr nowhere near 50 times better at their job than i am at mine
  15. same engine so id say yes mate
  16. apparantly the 2.8l 24v is a little stronger than the 3.2l for silly hp as for rods iv got the 3.2l running 390 ish lb ft and thats supposed to be fine i also ran the 12v 2.8l at 275 lb ft on a completely stock 100k miles engine and nothing broke lol (i think the rings have gone now its somewhere around 120k i think) imho the 2.8l obd2 lump is the best 12v motor the 2.9l has slightly thin walls and is slightly more prone to wear
