Running again :)

[John Dixon]

After what seems like for ever I've got the car running again.
New cams are in but not timed in yet and map is not modified from the previous one yet but it goes well.
Did a track day on saturday which went without a hitch other than a leaky rocker cover making a bit of a smoke screen as it dripped onto the headers. Pretty hard to remember that I have REVS to use too after driving a diesel for so long!
Quick power run shows 450bhp @ 7800 / 400ft-ib on current setup so should be a bit more in it when I find time to get it setup properly.

You're car is amazing.

[John Dixon]

Thanks!
I'm hoping to get it mapped properly in the next few months then will put the dyno sheet up.
Got the 4.1 R32GTR diff to go on too as the gearing is just ridiculous with 9000 limit.

Wait, 9k rev limit? Is that on the stock hydraulic lifters still? If so, WOW!

pics or shens.

Good to hear John... Hopefully this is the last time you have any major issues!

[John Dixon]

Cheers All.
No, the 9k rev limit is on converted solid lash adjusters (shimmed).

Think I found the source of the oil leaks. When I had the covers powdercoated after welding up the oil filler cap etc. I took those 'inspection hatches' off. Looks like I put them back on so I didn't loose them then just forgot to seal them up

[John Dixon]

Oh, and I might have some video from the trackday I did soon. Hopefully one of the guys in the club got some. Apparently it sounds awesome from trackside

Wait, 9k rev limit? Is that on the stock hydraulic lifters still? If so, WOW!

People do this on stock 4g63 cylinder lifters all day doubt it'd even be an issue on this engine.

Couple of 9krpm superstock VH engines retain the standard HLAs, no issues with them.
