So T56 Magnum is happening. With a Mal Wood twin plate. Already got single piece alloy tailshaft and IMS diff hat. Just need to fit the billet axles. Should handle the G35-900 when it eventually gets turned up.

Fuel pump maybe

1000s are definitely enough for what you have

Goes to show how strong those spool rods are. Must have been a fair detonation event to destroy the piston. Really interested to see the diagnosis. And the rebuild!

Sorry to hear man. Super impressive development work you've achieved

Looks great mate. 285kw? She needs some more supporting mods!

Haha not after an auto. I hear what you're saying. Problem is, good TR6060s aren't easy to come by, and people want $4k for them, condition unknown. I'm not even sure I'm in danger of breaking the T56 at 600rwkw, although I'm a little worried about the low down torque from the G35-900 killing it.

I should clarify, the current tune is turned way down to like 15psi, and I kept it there even with the new fuel system. Need built motor to turn it up. In the meantime, I'm happy to have something still relatively fast, but reliable. What are people's thoughts on T56 Magnum??

I think they just adjusted the fuel trims. It made the same power apparently. The Haltech is brilliant for self learning to fix any little imperfections in idle and fuelling in driving conditions that can't easily be replicated on the dyno. And the driveability of those 1500cc injectors is no different to 1000cc. Agreed on the IC7, keen to get that up and running in the next few months

Just upgraded the fuel system. Plazmaman twin feed rail. Twin -8 feeds, single -6 return through Turbosmart FPR2000. Bosch 1500cc injectors. Already had plazmaman surge/twin pump setup, with flex fuel sensor plumbed in somewhere in between. Seems to run flawlessly. The 540kw the car saw on 20psi had the 1000cc injectors reaching their limit, so I removed that future limitation. Also got 1400hp axles to install. The repco ones started clicking after last track day... Lastly, got a 3d printed dash insert to suit IC7. Might install that one down the track. Slowly slowly progress continues.

On the balance of probability, yes.

Ended up ordering the 1400hp suckers. Comes with new hubs and bearings

Does it have a centre muffler or just a big rear muffler?

I like your optimism haha

My trutrack has bulk backlash. Also IMS diff hat

So stock turbo anywhere around the low 400s is hard to go past for value. It came on harder than current setup. And yep, just changed turbo, manifold and dump obviously. Around these power levels you really have to budget for driveline. Big difference between 98 and e85 tunes

Nice one. What sort of cams are you looking at?

Seen, thanks. So was this with B series coils still?

Damn! Staunch numbers man, and awesome to see someone doing it all themselves. Sorry if you've mentioned already, but what sort of built engine are you running? Any issues with the head lifting at near 40psi? What valve springs?

700s bolt in like factory replacements. 1400s require new hub assembly and new wheel bearings

Yeah, the only thing I'm worried about is if its a nasty job that I can't do myself, the extra cost of installation may push it to 40% more expensive. Which is potentially 40% more than required in the first place

Hello gents, Who's done the 1400hp shafts themselves? I've heard it's a horrible job. I'm tossing up which way to go. The 1400hp shafts, plus wheel bearings come out 20% more expensive. I'm told that I'm very unlikely to break a 700hp shaft with less than 1000hp, especially with no drag racing, stalling up etc. Although manual is worse for shock loading.

Keen to see how the FG coils go.

What's the solution beyond 25-27 psi? FG coils and cam cover?

Is that peaking at 30psi? 😲
