Thank Rob! appreciate it mate.

The Noltec tops are great. I'm running Hotbits on my cars because they came with them. The Noltec's are more adjustable. For sale if you need a pair. They are now obsolete.

Haha, yeah probably a week ago =P I have/had the noltec ones. They are pretty good but the pillowball sticks a bit and the bolts aren't the same size as the original parts and slop around in the holes. Didn't really have much issue with them apart from the sticking though. But, yeah... pretty much nowhere has 4way adjustables anymore. I wanted ground control ones but they don't list them on their site anymore. I called K-Mac and seems they make to order for just about any car. They're supposed to have the biggest adjustment range and also the centre is replaceable if it fucks out. Have ordered a set, just waiting for them to rock up.

New cams in. Hopefully fix this power restriction problem.

[DOUGMO]

what did you get in the end Baz?

[bazeng]

Some APC cams.

Unknown specs.
But compared to my previous cams, 1mm extra lift and a bucket load more duration (square lobe). Mine was considered square but this thing kills it.

Previous power capped at 435kw at the wheels following boost curve, hopefully this one keeps climbing....

[DOUGMO]

wouldnt it be the lack of lift be hurting it also? mind you Im sure APC have done their home work

[EV0300]

gee i'd be interested to see the gains with these, what are you hoping for?

[Evo-00x]

hehehe... I think they'll be customised Crower racing cams around 290-310 duration [not the Brian Crower brand].
The highest off the shelf cam Crower have for our engines is the Stage 4 race cam at 288 duration (1200-8500rpm), but thats not enough.
The creme de la creme are their custom ground offerings to suit your desired rpm limit and lift. They can recommend specs or you can request custom ones to your desire.
I know big boy Rob used to run custom Crowers from APC a while back, so Im thinking thats probably where they are made from

[EVL20T]

300 degree will sound mental, Kelford make a 294/292 combo

[bazeng]

Power wise, 500kw at the wheels would be nice.

Then i can pretty much have a complete car. Ready for racing.

I can either sell, trade or race pending what i feel after the build.

[Geo&Kez]

Power wise, 500kw at the wheels would be nice.

.............Nice............

Yeah Barry, that's the word I would have used to describe 500kw at the wheels.

[Evo-00x]

500hp atw is enough let alone 500kw!!

[bazeng]

It is alive!
Again!

Injector settings are back from Autronic. Software settings defined and running better.

New cams installed.

Idle is much lumpier than prior.
Let's hope it makes better power.

Check out the idle video.

[caged]

Nasty in a good way . Ill be keen to watch this thing run down the strip now.

[Evo-00x]

oooh yeah Baz, cant wait to see this bad boy in action now. Like the way the engine doesnt move and sounds so quiet compared to the back end lol
PS: From the sound of the cams to me now, theyre a bit over 300 duration.

[vr4_evopwr]

Again sounds really good mate!

[jack be nimble]

500kw atw has to be around 900hp at the crank. Yeow!!

[robevo]

vroom vroom

[Adrian]

F#€k yeah!!! This sounds like an animal that would feast on small children. Very envious! Nice work!

[Adrian]

Hey Barry I noticed your white faced dials. Are they luminous? If so I have some in my lancer and a section has died:( . Any ideas where u got them??

[bazeng]

Some new shiny bits.

I decided to get rid of the blue silicone hoses (or most of it).

So new additions are:
1. dry ice box to tb in alloy
2. Radiator upper hose in alloy
3. Oil catch can mounted on block
4. Air box replacing old oil catch can position. For headlight intake use.
5. Turbo intake pipe to hks stainless filter inside box

I still need:
1. Overflow bottle
2. Washer bottle
3. Change silicone water / breather hoses to braided lines
4. Change silicone vac lines to braided

Getting there!!
Photos tomorrow
