Speak with your tuner, this has many variables, fuel type, ignition power available, use ( street or track, lower or upper rev range end ) and mostly, state of tune and inspecting them at intervals...
Given how useful this shop sounds, your comp issue might be as simple as valve clearances on that cylinder or the head shop havnt done the seats well, and I bet the cam timing is no where, as nearly...
Be good to see what dyno and ramp rates were used, but my stock B16 in a daily I have pumped out 94 kw atw on a conservative dyno, so with the sheet, it...
Wont affect shops at all, they will set a ramp/inertia rate and when in shootout mode, revert to those figures, those without the new software can just set the dyno to that figure and run it, so from...
Finally, the ramp rate lovers out there will be no longer, shortly Dyno Dynamics will be having a locked ramp rate shootout mode for power figures on dyno runs, whilst there will be other small...
Im sure viewing the invoice and prices of the S300's bought would quickly sort out if someone knew they were buying legit or dodge items and then passing them on, just like the kpro's that were going...
As Adrian said, why a 86mm, its a 1 life block then, go 85mm, at 1 mm, the power difference would be not that much in capacity lost and then you have 3 builds from the block sleeving you have just...
Least Simmy's got it half right in a track wont tell you much about a cars power, nor will the drags really given weights and gearing, same dyno, same day, SAME RAMP RATES, then start comparing. Good...
Yes tegs i agree with you that there are plenty out there and they work, BUT, they also have a higher failure rate then the other ways of sleeving, and yes, Darton did produce mids for the RB26, they...
450 Still isnt a heap of power in a B series, the engine of question where a workshop was looking to sue the installer/machinist was Mid sleeves installed into a RB26 block. When they are pushing...
This is still about the Dart story, as you mentioned issues come fitment be that mids or whatever into an OEM block or Dart putting metal liners into their blocks, the OP had cooling issues and you...
Thats good to hear, but how many other mid sleeve builds do you know of and their issues, I know of about 10-15 and alot have had issues with sinking sleeves, it also depends on how much power your...
Crap, mid sleeves are the worst but Dart blocks are known for issues and seems your unlucky enough to have got one. Question is, if it goes again, what is Larry going to do for you?
