mark newman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Been a long time since I updated this thread so i think it's time to now. Dude and Simon at Austec Racing, Have been working very hard to get it ready for the 2012 HKS Drag series. I am very pleased with the results which they have acheived with my car. So anything to do with drag racing or for some more power dude is your man. After last year's dissapoinments of car breakages mainly being factory parts not being able to withstand the pressure, It was now time to make the car as strong as possible. So we began the clutch we went with a carbonetic tripple carbon clutch, Of who i am now sponsered by. It is also now running a 1 piece chromeoly propshaft Uprated driveshafts Majestic diff cover 2 way Kazz Diff in a uk large case Diff strenghtening sway bars Drag rear A-arms with full adjustment Prop Hoop - Not yet fitted Performance Mod's Fully built engine rated to around 1400bhp Syvecs S6 280 Cams 1600cc Injectors on a PHR polished fuel rail Direct port Nitrous system 465bhp Turbo Spool nitrous kit Nitrous purge valves Large 110mm Polished plenum Boost logic 5 inch intercooler Fluidyn radiator with twin fans Breather Kit Titan adjustable cam wheels Uprated fuel system Battery moved to the boot Fuse box relocated I am going to be keeping the s366 turbo at the moment, I would like to take the car to the strip to just see what this car will do with this turbo maxed out as it spooled so quickly. I think i can still get a very good result with it and even more now with the further uprades. The car previously run a 11.2 with the old setup, So now with this setup and the same turbo we should see an improvment. Then after that i will be purchasing an 83mm turbo for some serious times.

Bailey. Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Nice work, look forward to seeing this at santapod this year, surely a 80mm turbo and you will be up and over the 1000hp bracket!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Looks good mark, whats the score with the nitrous, looks like you are running two systems? you not twin feeding the fuel rail? looks like the front feed has been blocked off? Have you had it mapped yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark newman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Looks good mark, whats the score with the nitrous, looks like you are running two systems? you not twin feeding the fuel rail? looks like the front feed has been blocked off? Have you had it mapped yet? The nitrous is a two system set up, The direct port will be used on the run, and the small nitrous system will only be to spool the turbo on the line. The fuel rail is only feed at the rear at the moment, as waiting for a new part to come to twin feed it. It is booked with Ryan on the 18th of this month.

JamieP Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Got ya, sounds good, do you have to run two bottles then? can the syvecs control both nitrous systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be good for 1000 -1300 bhp , but I am not a fan of a to big turbos, as of the lag that comes with them, But I feel that I will have to change the Turbo before the HKS starts this year, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark newman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Got ya, sounds good, do you have to run two bottles then? can the syvecs control both nitrous systems? Yes will be running Two bottles , And Yes the Syvecs should be up to the job. if not I could fit a progressive programmer if needed just for the spool.

DARETT Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Looking good mark, should be a serious contender in the series. Finally some competition for those Datsuns! If you go for the 83mm batmowheel that Paul has on his car, it will be immense. How's the sequential box gonna be on the road? Is it not worth just switching full auto then?... I know quaife gearsets are pretty stout, but on the Subaru's they were never as strong as the PPG dog set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i like the idea of paddleshift, Im not to keen on a full auto as its still a street car and i do think paddleshift will still be fun.

Looks good, you will have to mod the suspension turret to run that turbo on any of the whifbitz manifolds though, not a big deal tbh, baldy can do it for you if needed, you might even have to space it up a bit to clear number 1 runner iirc.

The airshifted paddle will virtually guaruntee no wear to the gearsd and the box Mark will have if he goes that route is not the ordinary one available to the public.

Geo Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Dam, missed this for a while. Bugger! How did mapping go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark newman Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Rayan started wiring in the Nos today together with all the drag set up needed, he mapped the car today only a small map 538bhp at 1.2 bar, just so I can run it around,for 1000 miles to run in the new clutch, I will remove the drag wheels, and refit my road setup in the mean time. I hope ryan will be able to finish the mapping in about 2 weeks , and then we will be back up to the pod just to see what this small turbo can do for the last time before we install the new turbo, ready for the HKS series in the year.
