  1. is that for your 302 conversion RT?. i have delt with CRS B4 [a while ago] and thier quality was very good it has been sold since then. im sure that hurricane headers do a 302 w into capri header. will check. id ring em or email em and ask for an explaination.

  2. yeah was 3.8 litre v6 chev . i didnt build the engine but with the gear that was in it would have cost abot 10g to build from scratch the heads would have been half of that. i never ran it at the drags but my mate has a high12sec camaro and it could out accelerate that quite easily. if i knew then what i know now i wouldnt have sold it . i would have kept it and repaired the engine and sorted the oiling problem out. it had a hi vol oil pump at anything over 6000rpm it would suck the sump dry[bad] all it needed to fix was replace the pump with a stock volume pump and increase the size of the oil returns in the valley. check out my cardomain links for some pics of the motor out of the car, its the middle one.

  3. car was mainly set up for drags but it was 'ok' on the road very choppy below 3 grand started to make power at 4000 then sreamed past 7500 where i had the limiter set. have a look in the off topic forum under youtube vids is a vid of it open headered sounded mean. cam was 600thou lift and 310 duration @ 050 with full head job and open plenum manifold it made 320hp @ 7250 nasty in a 1000kg mk2.

    here it is

  4. pretty sure mate from work has a gt35/40 on his rota it made 370kw on dyno on 18lbs hes just lunched the motor [fuel pump failure @9000 rpm] and wants to run 9s now so is upgradeing could be for sale u want me to ask?

  5. the bigger the cam you go the less your static comp ratio will be as the increased overlap in the cam timing bleeds comp off. my corty was 10.5 -1 but had a 310 dur cam so static comp was about 8.9-1 there is a formula to work it out but my drug hazed memory is fucked and i cant remember it. was sumthin tho do with both valves being open longer as piston is cumin up not startin to compress the mixture till the piston is farther up the bore as the vaves fully close. some people go too far on static comp with a big cam and then run into massive detonation probs further up the rev range

    The funny thing about "Tick it up boy ricers" is that they are the new Dirty Bogan, remember back in the day it was the v8 driving, black tee shirt wearing mullet head playing Heavy Metal

    haha true i was that bogan black jersey ginga mullet man :lol: in my 4.1 mk3 corty

  7. thats what gives me the shits. theres prolly fuck all kps out there and if u drove 4 blocks ud see 5 evos just like his and he laughs at you what a tosser. like when im cruzin in the fairlane heaps of idiots always wave out i NEVER wave back but if i see a nice old car even a jappa i always acknoledge them. thats just part of being 'oldschool' not that i wouldnt love a new commodore or falcon and i even quite like the new mitsi VRX dimante.

  8. I hate them all the more for being fast. Have a bet with my mate that by the end of uni i wont have a car that can beat a wrx sti in a 1/4mile for under $12,000 - the plan is a 351 clevo in an xc falcon coupe, keep the corty as my daily.

    fuck dunno about a wrx beating xc coupe for under 12g bro . put the 351 in ya corty and save the 15g youll pay for the coupe with no motor.

  9. haha i reckon this is the best topic on here. i agree totally with every post plus this bit of my own. wwhile 'being into cars' and haveing your own ride is cool and everyones right. the import scene gives me the shits especially evos and wrx owners they go on about how cool or how fast their car is with wicked wheels and big turbos etc etc. where in reality you could walk down most streets in any big town/city in NZ and see 10 of these cars all with the same or similar kits/wheels /mods THESE CUNTS ARE SHEEP :lol: their all followers . and the number plate on an angle is meant to meen your 'gangsta' :lol: more like cockgobbler

  10. Reaction times are definately a major part of it, alot more v8's with tubbed rear ends too which I guess makes a big difference.

    Spoke with a mechanic today who said he once had a AE86 turbo with big $$ spent on a shock and spring setup for the rear end. Best ET he could get was a 13.2. Switched the rear back to crappy soft standard shocks and cut the original springs tof it. Back to the track and ran a 12.8. No real point but an interesting story anyway....

    since the cars at dragmasters are paired by time eg: they both run the same or very similar times. wether or not the car is tubbed doesnt figure .the race is won and lost on the start line eg: if both cars run 9.90 but one has .5 of a sec better reaction the faster reaction wins . as far as i can see alot of the import guys just race for ETs[fastest time] but the v8s have been doin heads up racing[both start at same time] for years and have had to hone their start line skills to win as alot of the v8 classes are VERY close so best light and launch will win

  11. dont want to be a downer man ,but i dont know why u are bothering with the ford v6 they are buckets of shit . they are fucken heavy and very primitive in design . they are not proven to be very reliable in stock form let alone modified. that is why there is not alot of other people doing it only die hard capri fans . why not go for a jappa v6 or a chevy they are are a very good engine ,relativly light and make good hp stock and have a huge aftermarket parts available. OR if u want to keep it ford a late model mustang 3.8 v6 cheap imported engines are available turf the injection bolt a 4 barrell manifold on a go from there. ya might even be able to pick one up with a 5 spd behind it. having had a few mates with the old ford v6 ive seen too much good money thrown after bad on these shittas. if u wanted to build on like the factory hotrods it would cost u a small fortune to get only a similar power output to a stock 3.8 or chevy v6. thats my 2c sorry bout that

  12. Nah 13bt there so cool, that way u'll get all the bitchs to

    depend on the car if it's a bitsofshity 4g the fucker

    if its a toyota 7age or 3sgte

    if its a nissan and its old school fj20

    if its a mazda and was a rx 1uz the fucker :P

    fukin ay go the 8 had a drive in a s4 7 with 1uz and 5sp a couple of weeks ago very torquey good power down low but bit flat up top was only a stocker but for 10g an awesome sleeper. but back on topic big ups for the FJ 20et just cuz its olschool

  13. so who won the event for this year v8s or imports :lol: [yeah right]

    One thing i noticed was how much better the V8's can hook up off the line in comparision to the imports...

    its all about experiance dude most of the v8 guys have been doin it for a very long time. they know how to set up a car properly look at the rayglass datto built and run by 2 v8 guys it kicks ass, hooks up big time.

  14. its not bs dude but it doesnt make f all differance its no diff than a two barrall carby on the stocker. when ya cut the top off the stock manifold it becomes an open plenum. when u combine an engine with the correct size carby the intake pulses will easily draw the air\fuel mix to the right port. 3x2 barrel carbs simply position the venturi closer to the port it may add slightly better throttle responce but you would be pretty hard pressed to notice it. imagine a holden or valiant straight 6 with a single 4 barrell manifold thats a long way to the front and rear ports but they still make heaps of power. when u have a big duration camshaft and ported heads with a carb thats too big the intake pulses are weak and the airflow is slow the small airholes and passages in the carb dont pick up the intake pulse thus the throttle responce is shit until you have a few revs on board. with the correct size carb you still have good air flow thru the carb makeing everything work properly. its all about air speed.

  15. mate did said coversion on his manifold worked mint looked almost factory. the worst thing people do is over carb them some drop kicks put a 600 holley on em . its only 3lts even with a big cam ,ported heads headers and a big bore a 390 is HEAPS. i only had a 465 on my chevy v6 and that was making about 320hp a 600 made it run like a dog down low but the 465s smaller venturis speed the airflow up making it way more responsive
