200*? Damn dude. I do have a massive heat exchanger which helps a lot! I haven't ran the mile but haven't heard of anyone getting THAT hot. If my car ever got that hot I'd be running 3* timing. It's a given though, the smaller blower will create more heat just gotta fight back. That being said, I'd like to get out and run the mile. We're gonna go back in a couple weeks to Santa pod on a RWYB. Hopefully is dry this time

Exactly, pulled loads of timing. To be fair the blower was over spun quite badly and well outside its comfort zone. Water/Meth injection helps a lot, are you running this?

[minime68]

No I'm not running meth just straight 98 pump fuel. I've given it thought but wanna keep it simple. I guess that would be the next thing along with heads. We plan on giving it another go on the 13th. I think I saw a thread with the Monaro crew planning a trip then. Ill prob see some of you there.

Yes, that would be good. Your car sounds awesome by the way!

At traxx? Rainy day as well... Didn't plan on geting on the dyno but the friends wanted to play the "guess" game. Won myself a case of beer over that one

If I owned that car I would just leave it idling outside my house all day lol

[minime68]

Thanks guys. Like I said before, me and my friend were impressed with the people and cars there. Everyone was friendly and the cars were super clean!

Cooper put together a go-pro video of the car rowing through the gears . Many thanks to him!

• *UPDATE***

So after blowing a stock piston to pieces (#6 Cylinder), I ended up doing a complete engine build. Here are some details:

-Factory LSA Block
-Ported LSA Heads
-Manley 416 Stroker Kit
-Monster Twin Disc Clutch (rated to 1100RWHP)
-Magnuson Heartbeat 2300
-Built by Tune Time Performance in New Jersey and installed by myself and some friends

Goal with this setup is to make a conservative 850+BHP at about .8 Bar since the old setup made 764. Anything after that would be bonus. As far as the new blower, I will be spinning it at 21,000rpms so it will be moving some air . Hopefully I can finish getting it mapped up in the coming weeks so I can hit the rollers and she what she is all about. Stay tuned for more info.

Here is a video of the first start back in Mid April. Since then I have put 1018 break-in miles on the car.

Write any number on this cheque and i will pay it

Missed this thread first time round, just given it the full read, what an absolute machine! Top work, the noise is something else
I'm developing a very large LS itch, and Monaros are becoming very sensibly priced in the classifieds.. Maybe in a few years when I can afford to fuel them eh

[anonymous-user]

This sounds great and similar to mine, are those the LPE ported LSA heads? I stayed away from the stroker kit as I found you don't really need it on a PD blown car and oil consumption/reliability can be a problem as the pistons rock without support to the skirts from the stock liners. That blower will be awesome, what cam did you go for?

There are a couple 416s driving around with great results. The stroke is not that much bigger than stock so shouldn't be an issue. Right now, I am seeing a little increase in mpg range (1-2mpg). The cam was a custom grind spec'd by Tune Time performance specifically for my build and blower. I can prob find the exact specs somewhere in my emails. The heads were also hand ported by the same shop and flow ~350cfm.
