Automatic Retard posted:I've had all the work done by Walkinshaw Performance FormulaTech so far... Hmm, if I had to chose a workshop with the worst reputation in WA this would be close to the top. I feel like an idiot talking about workshop reputations and all, but I've seen many people have nothing but trouble from FormulaTech. That said, if you're getting results that you're happy with keep it up. But as everyone says, find out what the cam is and that should at least get you on your way to an answer. Are you sticking to straight line stuff or are you interested in getting up to Barbagallo for a No Limits track day/night? Also, that 32R that went 306kmh is insane hey, fast as a Bugatti Veyron on a dusty airstrip!? Dinosorcerer fucked around with this message at 07:51 on May 7, 2014 |

I purchased a car (VY) with a FormulaTech tune and it would stall constantly and carry on. WA Performance re-tuned it and although it still stalled very occasionally, it was drastically better. It made about 400rwhp NA.

I have a turbocharged ZX-14 with nitrous that's a bit "twitchy", any tips to make it a little more streetable?

Sounds like your nitrous jets are too small ... Or you're not running enough pressure in the system.

Cool, thanks for the replies. Now I just need to sort out some high speed handling issues with my Lycoming LTS-101 powered go-cart.

Hey G8 buddy! Any chance you can get the specs of the cam? It's probably way too big. Guys here use the stock LS9 (Corvette ZR1) cam as an upgrade when they add a 1900 or 2300 blower. Another thing you can do is add an aftermarket torque converter (stall converter, whatever you call them) with a 2800-3200 RPM stall speed. And that will make it drive better but it will also annihilate your tires.

Since we're sort of turning this into an LSx thread…. My Vette just decided to throw the P0420 code after I installed ARH headers with high flow cats and a new exhaust system on it. Likely cause 02 sensor or bad cat?

It's possible you could get it tuned to accept the new value, though that could cause complications depending on where you live and whether or not you have to deal with a sniffer test.

Well a tune is in order anyways before the blower and after. I'm not too worried about this whole passing smog thing.

Put anti foulers on the rear o2 sensors. Supposedly that works for when you use high flow cats on certain vehicles.

JaySB posted:Since we're sort of turning this into an LSx thread…. If you put headers on it (if they are anything more than shorties), you should get it tuned. You can have that code turned off with the tune, or just put 02 simulators in place of the second O2 sensors. Your first set of sensors are not causing this code to be thrown and should be left alone. To reiterate, it is your post cat O2 sensors you should just drop O2 simulators into.

I feel like an idiot talking about workshop reputations and all, but I've seen many people have nothing but trouble from FormulaTech. I would love to hit Barbagallo up for some circuit racing. How often does that sort of thing happen there? I've only gotten invites from HSV for track days there but I'm always working or drunk. I just want to have fun with my car, I'm not willing to spend the necessary megabucks on getting it to be competetive in either drag or curcuit racing. I guess I just want more power for the sake of it, and also because every time I drive it I'm thinking "this thing needs more power" haha Anyway, I recently lost my job cos I'm a retard, and all these plans are going to have to be put on hold till I get another one, but I reckon I'll go to Whoop rear end Wednesday tomorrow. IOwnCalculus - can we change the thread title to an LSx megathread type thing please? I'm really amazed that there isn't one already.

No Limits Events runs events there every month or so with a bit of a break over winter. They're the best way for your average punter to get out on the track. You will need a CAMS L2S licence to enter, though that is just a fee; you don't have to prove ability or anything. You can even apply and pay for it at the event. They are very well run events catering to all skill and speed levels with instructors that will come out in the car with you and give you pointers (or even drive your car to show you what's what). It's a friendly atmosphere and a hell of a lot of fun. Keep it out of the walls and what have you got to lose?

How much power does an Over The Radiator air intake net you? I've heard/read anything from 30 or 40hp, to 40+kw. I doubt that would be at the wheels though. Will that get me over 600hp do you think? Blown and cammed LS3 with exhaust mods making 560rwhp so far.
