  1. The US na.t boys used to love the GTE ecu setup. Its massively cheaper. No one in the uk I know as far as I know has done this. They all choose to go down an ecu upgrade route. But it's been done a lot. Sadly US forums clubna-t went down and I've not seen it about but I haven't looked for a long long time as my builds fairly stable these days.
  2. Coolest way is cam gear. Cheapest way is the cam gear sensor from the dizzy.
  3. I'd tell them you want it changed. Its honestly not a huge job I dont know why their dragging their heels
  4. Love a nice NAt thread

    NA-T parts

    Completely opposite direction for flow. Waste gate pointing down is facing wrong direction. Flow has to 180 before it exits. Terrible design. Not that rotating it fixes that. But can help a little maybe. Didnt flow mine before vs after. As it's just a street car I didnt over think it too much. Before you say it, I know I've over thought way too many other things lol

    If you've tools I always recommend rotating the waste gate location so its next to the turbo rather than under the car. God knows why it became common practice for GE turbo manifolds to do that. Annoying as hell.
  7. If you powered the LEDs through an Arduino micro controller, using pulse width modulation, you could reduce their brightness per LED. You cant use resistors to reduce LED brightness. Only an idea.
  8. R888 saved my bacon my friend! No one likes 80mph wheelspins. Third gear hooks all the way now. Second gear is good, if I'm progressive with the throttle and dont plant it. I'm sure it could be better with some better camber adjustment. For now I feel safe, wasnt enjoyable or really drivable on the Michelins.
  9. Thanks for the feedback Lee. I suppose I was looking at nitrous style setup but using a safer fuel instead and a more on the fly initialisation. Appreciate the thoughts on my idea. Though it was a crazy one.
  10. Youd need a return setup for the pump. Youd have a regulator. The feed pipe would need a flow resistor fitting. This the given pressure and fitting area would determine flow. I mean I'm only bouncing off ideas. Then it's basically just swapping fuel tanks while moving.
  11. What if you ran a second fuel line into the fuel system with the E85 before the fuel flex sensor? So you mix on the go. Just a tank, small pump and Y branch to consider.
  12. I suppose it is mate, of sorts really. Same concept. I just didnt think you would have the level of control using typical jets instead of nozzles, or be able to flow enough volume. But then I dont know, i havent begun looking much further than I've described.
  13. Having a quick change system would be a fairly straight forward setup to be fair. And perhaps a better route than a twin rail. Would just be the switching. As youd want the engine off and the fuel rail running the right fuel.
  14. If your fuel system cost you thousands, you might want to consider where you order parts. Just because you dont think something isnt a good idea, doesnt make the challenge pointless.
  15. Everyone uses E85 in the tank. Which is in my opinion, only suitable for a track. In my opinion, E85 should be used on a button when you want it. You don't have nitrous being used between bursts it's the same for E85. Why is this the case? It's the case because people map in a fuel sensor and blend in the tank. If you could visualise the actual boosted E85 vs the distance travelled using E85 off power it would be obvious to most. I plan to have a separate tank, second fuel line, and potentially second set of injectors to feed the E85 mix. Ideally, you'd have it blended in the fuel line, but I'm not sure how I could switch fuels quick enough without using the injectors. Why has no one tried this? I've no idea. I don't think any other way would work quick enough, as fuel pump operation (on/off switching) isn't quick enough. Whereas two separate fuels recirculating constantly, the other when not in use would work (E85 system off when map not running). This is obviously a theory, you would either be racing or not racing so no one with any money has ever thought to trial a system or desired it. But for me, I don't want to be pulling over dumping in E85. Nor hitting traffic with a tank full of it, only to have to mix some more. Pain in the a**. Bignum is right, reliability has been raised a few times with them too. The rods are designed for the cranks, so a built engine can use a stock crank. Stroker setup would mean forever needing the crank. - - - Updated - - - A non turbo crank is what he means.
  16. Why not look into an E85 switchable system? Be cheaper than a stroker kit. Though no one has ever designed such a thing. But I want to! Or nitrous. Plus its ricer points. Though I so want that too!
  17. Yeah mate. Which is why my next goal is et time of 10 seconds. Not power. No good having power then being destroyed by a standard R35 which cost less money. He didn't upload them though did he lol
  18. Hi there. The covid situation has caused a delay on some materials. You can sign up to the forum to allow you to PM people. While its advantageous to be able to message me directly. You'll also find a plethora of good information here. If you apply for membership you can send me a message. You've timed it well. As I only have a few sets left before I'm totally out of capability to make more. Or enthusiasm. Lol
  19. If you dont buy a stroker kit. Definitely buy a torch for night time photoshoots lol I always wanted the Titan 3.5 stroker. For no other reason than to aid a 1/4 et. Power is easy. Power on the left of the curve seems to be ignored these days.
  20. Have you tried removing the rubber to see if it's contacting during movement
  21. I've looked into this before. The only reason I can see to doing it, is because you can afford it and want too. With E85, pre-spool nitrous and torqamp electronic turbo technology making low end torque available (honestly, check Supra Torqamp on youtube), there are other ways to gain the benefits that come with a stroker. I'm looking into a switchable E85 system also (pre-spool E85) - I'll certain I can make it work. But. That said. They do seem to sound different. And let's face it, it's friggin awesome. You could have a stroker and gain more power easily. Saving investment into the head. I have yet to see however anyone recently who has a 3.4 use it for anything low end. I've been analysing people's skewness on their dyno's for a while. To improve my own. 1000hp is a strange target, without consider when and how. Imagine is we talked about a power value and skewness of the curve.
