VG 355 stroker

[greenfoam]

He forgot to mention it pings at 5500 now , the old ute just couldn't take the extra 2 degrees over the base tune we made so it's going back to how it was above 5000 on the original tune. I heard a rumour it's going on the dyno next week too (a realistic one)!?> shock horror, it must be over the border in Vic . Benny wanted 230 rwkw when he built it but he's probably under estamated it

next month jason

also when i get some decent rubber ill go for a race, was gonna go for a cruise down south to have a few runs in about october

[greenfoam]

Benny bring your VP to this :P
Next Meeting

[Boonz]

lol.... tempting:P im sick of the VP tho its doin my head in... all it does it break everything but the diff and motor!!!

chances are ill get bored this weekend and try to break it for my mates 21st...

we have a nice new cement pad to christen tommorow night hehe....


i got new tyres for the ute today as the others got left behind somewhere...

suprisingly they are a very sticky tyre for $180 fitted and balanced each, i can actually use first gear now!

next set ill be getting 255/40/18's cos i will have extended my rear wheel arches by then if i dont have a slack attack between now and then

[Boonz]

bit of an update, fitted another tune greenfoam sent me with a little bit less timing... happily revs to 6200 rpm now as it was pinging before

fun times

next thing to do is get a decent stall converter cos this one i ahve now isnt doing what it should be doing.
all its doing now is acting like a clutch pedal ....and its dropping at about 4000 rpm which results in wheelspin when im not concentrating on what my right foots doing

[Emackulation]

Good to see your tune is doing well, new stally too hey, new tyres, she is getting spoilt lately yeah?

[Boonz]

well by having a smaller stall converter i can also use the torque the motor makes without revving the ****er out of it to make it go

but yes.... lately its been my money pit haha

[Boonz]

well i went for a drive with STOCKIES on tonight.... i was almost crying from laughin so hard zero traction... its very very very REDICULOUS to say the least

going to perfect the art of circle work later on tonight on my mates cement pad on his property should be fun and i can test out what my cooling systems like now with the AU twin thermos

[Boonz]

wont b from close up tho cos they gotta be back from the action so the coppers dont get all nerrrrr about it endangering lives and stuff which has happened before

[Boonz]

had a power run done today... makes 212rwkw at 5600 rpm and a shoitload of torque between 3000-4000 rpm, smoked the wheels on the rollers before they strapped it down cos theres no weight to keep the wheels from spinning

its got about what i was hoping for before the charger goes on

will upload a photo of the dyno sheet when i get home cos i dont ahve the cable for my phone with me in adelaide

[greenfoam]

Send me the sheet before I post this update for you

[Boonz]

jase!!! dont make me hunt around adelaide for a scanner lol

[Boonz]
