using the 'old' 94mm P&C from my base motor

I just got back from Coffs this morning at 3.30. just realised most of my post in the 'general' section should have been here. um. interested parties should look there, and when i get the photos developed and scanned and stuff, I'll post here

So is it now a V8 killer, & not just a V6 killer anymore?
Jak

Actually Jak, yes it is
but don't trust me, trust the 1/4 mile figures....
gotta love how little dubs weigh
"Sorry, I thought it was Kph on my speedo.."

While you were up there, did Stan hint to any HP or 1/4 mile time estimates with your new "STERIOD" combo? or does anyone have a dyno print out of one of these wild sounding engines?

I expect it to be quick in Craig's car, but I'd be really interested in how much quicker it is next to my backyard lawnmower engine. Feel like cruizing up the coast next weekend, give it some k's to run it in before u start hitting that 8000rpm redline!!! Take care Jak \

I will probably take it to a dyno when it's run in (and when I have the money to throw around), but as you probably know this is by no means an absolute test of horsepower. the same car can be dynoed on the same day, by the same operator on two different dyno machines for two completely wildly different figures. Even on the same dyno, different weather, different fuel, different operators, different modes and a host of other crazy variables make dyno testing useful mostly only for tuning purposes. according to the seat of my pants (and some nasty stains) the horsepower should be over 65 billion . Probably the best way to determine horsepower accurately is the top speed reached at the end of the standing 1/4 or 1/2 mile, combined with the weight of the car. this means less emphasis on traction, gearing, resistance and driver error than the ET.
With the restrictive exhaust system I'm running (not even suitable for my milder base 1916cc) who knows what it is... all I know is it's really torquey down low before the exhaust starts trying to strangle it, and this torque should improve still further with the better exhaust. I've exhausted my 'exhaust' word usage limit now..
love to come up the coast some time and show ya, we should sort something out
weekends are sort of problematic (especially Sundays, when I'm at work) but I'm sure we can sort something out :thumb
and btw, lawnmowers don't use 94's

"..... somewhere, off in the distance a cricket chirped.." :bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce

I always laugh when people assume my car's performance is because it "must" be light I will have to put the 1kg radio back in

Pete, I 'll come to the Dyno with you, no-one invited me to the last one at SAS

From all reports Pete (talking to others in the Pobjoy know), u should get 120@ the wheels, I take my hat off to that, stock rockers standard rods, stroke etc etc. Did u end up getting the CNC 044's from CB or just their 044 magnums? What compression are u running? U will definantly notice a difference with the merged header.

Craig, u know that I would have invited u if I knew u were interested, I will call u for the next one, I promise!.

regards
Jak

:kiss thanks Jak, now I feel loved again :kiss

Craig you bitch! :cussing

I always suspected you were cheating on me, but with Jak!?!?!?

When you get home, pack your bags and get out! :cussing

You're kicked-to-the-kerb.

Jer-ry

JER-RY

but Steve...

you and I have so much history .............and the kids.........their yours !!

He just has a better time with me............

queer as folk

what? i thought I saw steve with craig's best friend, at the hotel the night before the show :o
044 cnc heads (i think)
no idea of compression
*looks for somewhere flat to do an oil change*

*curses the hill he lives on*

044 cnc heads (i think)
no idea of compression

Weren't u there taking pics?............or is it top secret? Surely u didn't dump over a whole lot of cash & then have know idea whats in the thing??

Mostly I just dumped a whole lot of cash, but I did take pictures. When I get them developed I'll post all the ones that turn out okay. Remember, I was using a mini spy-cam so the quality may not be too crash hot gotta get me one of them newfangled digital thingamies one day.
I'm sure some of the stuff is secret (so I don't know either) but most of it would just be the dizzying number of hours of painstakingly meticulous work that Stan requires to build his legendary motors. Anyone can buy the parts, but how many people can do the machining and engineering? Ask Stan what he uses if you want to know exactly, I'm sure he'd love to have a chat All I know is I'm stoked with the results, and having dealt with him before knew it was worth it before I began. anyone ever seen the 'soup nazi' episode of seinfeld? Stan's a nicer version, with a slightly less culinary leaning

Actually Jak, you have to sacrifice 3 virgins under a full moon and then drink 236ml of goats blood before you can be told the secret, all this while standing on your head

i take it that's why he was laughing at me. he gave me goat's piss.:o

maybe you were the virgin :jesus

that's gotta be better than the goat. :P

Gee,dosn't Stan give out build sheets,Jake does.

Wish I had clients like Stans! When I design houses, my clients want to know every last detail, even the ones that have come back 2 or 3 times for my designs!!
Stans very lucky then

Bwahahaha

Stan Raby





Hmmmmm.... I wonder who Danny is???

Pete, if your interested I've got a nearly worn out set of 1 1/2" merged headers with muffler that you can have for free.
I had to use U bolt muffler clamps on the slip joints to hold it together and to stop the leaks, so its a pain to pull apart and put together but I figured I wasn't going to use it again, so what the hell.
Anyway the price is right.

Andrew Grace

Gracey, you're a true salt of the earth type person :thumb
dagnabbit, if only the location was better
mebbe you could just fax it to me.
I DO have a build sheet here somewhere. I plan on looking at it when i could be bothered *contemplates unpacking*
*shudders*

is it rude to ask wot dollars we talking here got two bugs to bomb body and paint all done looking for options

Any pics yet?

Dude, I probably could fax it to you in our new 3D fax machine at work but I'll get in trouble if I get caught.
Seriously though Beaudeserts only 4 hours north of Coffs.:o:o
BTW, I'd love to see the look on your face when you derestrict that baby. As Homer would say Woohoo!!

Andrew Grace

So Gracey, I hear you're next on the loooong list of "New"steriods .

That means you're one person closer than me
