Duratec Motivation Thread: F/I Club - 275+ whp

[Egz]

I'm starting a pair of 'motivation' threads, to get people going on projects, and to help inspire more people on their engine builds. There are many different paths to make these clubs, and this will allow people to get some ideas, and choose their evil.

How it will work is this: PM to me, or any other Duratec moderator, a link to your dynograph, and include the modifications done to the engine. (you may include a link to a picture of your too if you like). We will post it in the appropriate thread so we all can revel in your engine's glory. However, to keep things civil, these threads will be locked.

So, will you join the Duratec clubs?

Why is the 28rs so laggy on Clints car?

With that much power he should be seeing more torque and a more 'boost' responsive mid-range, no?

Gate pressure perhaps?

Cams...lower compression...Cossie IM...cam timing...the RS spools slower than the GT28R and I think he has the .86 AR on the turbine housing.

All of these little things start to add up.

Look at the old dyno with the GT28R turbo, stock cams, and stock cam timing:
