51RJZ Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 is that front wheel off the ground? hard to tell Quote
OKE055 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Posted November 29, 2014 Haven't updated this thread for a while. After a unlucky Jambo (snapped a gudgeon pin and and smashed a fairly fresh motor in style from half track wrecking my motor and forcing me to start a fresh again. I competed this weekend in qld drag week after putting a new motor in the ol girl on Friday last week. After issues with broken cams, oil pumps and all the other problems That just kept popping up. But I got it done and drove her from Toowoomba to warwick and race there Friday running a nice 6.6 with a solid 60' on a less than idea track. The next day (today)I made the trip to willowbank and Ran a PB 10.33 and was told to call it a night. All of this was done towing a trailer to and from the tracks. Quote
quest Posted November 30, 2014 Report Posted November 30, 2014 Excellent performance from a 1.8L full weight street car.... plus, towing a trailer to and from the track. 23 psi ? Camtech 270 regrinds ? ..snapped while installing the caps ? Seems like an efficient combination You must be a real soldier to push through all those setbacks. Gotta respect that effort. Great stuff!

OKE055 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Posted November 30, 2014 Only 22 psi and they were the Camtech cams that were in my last motor it snapped tightening the caps down but looking at the break it was broken for some time as there was darker and lighter areas in the snap, it was also the same piston that the piston and head have a sudden high rpm kissing fest so that might of contributed to it.

altezzaclub Posted November 30, 2014 Report Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Ah, so the cams were already weakened. This must make for some real fun at traffic lights... Edited November 30, 2014 by altezzaclub Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted November 30, 2014 Report Posted November 30, 2014 Great update mate, the new pb must have felt pretty rewarding after all the setbacks. Better mph as well? Quote
OKE055 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Posted December 1, 2014 Yeah a gain of 4mph on my previous best which was in the colder months and at higher boost so this new motor is looking promising! Quote
BUZ440 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 A street car that tows a trailer, then runs a 10 = ultimate respect Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 4mph!!! at that level thats a good amount of power, because of the cam change, or just the freshen up? Quote
OKE055 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Posted December 1, 2014 Fresh motor a little more comp then the last one Quote
