  • On this Episode of The Skid Factory, Al prepares the Big Block Crown for a return to the Dyno.
    The radiator is replaced, the lower supercharger pulley is changed from 250mm to 215mm to lower the maximum boost pressure and the fuel system is upgraded with Raceworks 1500cc injectors and a second fuel pump.
    We then head down to see Kye at Knight Family Motorsport to update the tune for the new boost pressure and fuel system.

      Since you can't make a smaller top pulley could you make a bigger bottom pulley🤔

  • @change_your_oil_regularly4287

    700 rwhp has always been my all time dream goal (dream because it'll never happen unless I find a bag of money somewhere)
    When I was a young teen I seen an orange Torana in street machine magazine which had 700rwhp which was astronomical power in a street legal car at the time. The basic point of the line was something like "even at 110km/h all you have to do his give it a gut full and the rears just light up"
    I always wanted to overtake at 110km/h whilst doing a massive power skid (on private property obviously.... )

    Damn y'all, I can only wish that I had the means, resources, and knowledge to build a dream like this someday. I have a 709 whp 1997 EJ8 Civic coupe with a fully built LSVTEC (a B series non-VTEC block with a DOHC VTEC head), and I built it all (edit: sorry, other than the machine shop work and the bottom end, Iwas referring to the car, suspension, head, etc). I don't have the time to get it properly tuned on the dyno (but it made 709 whp on a DynoJet on its current tune), and I've never been able to get a clean pass out of it because the closest drag strip is only open in the summer, I work six days a week, and I don't have any way to get it to the track other than to drive it. It's been impossible for me to get any time to do anything with it, so I'm always screwed out of my love. I have $20,000 into a $1,000 car, so no matter what I do I'm screwed.

    I hear all these people with boosted motors say "oh yeah, it's got a real safe tune in it" and then you look at the AFRs and they never get under 11:1 .. And then 1500kms down the track, they end up with glazed bores and pushing oil out the breathers and smoking out the tailpipe. And they go to blame the piston rings or engine builder, not Dr-NES-TUNEBROTHERS' rom 1.13 .. (this is doing it the right way, btw, but there's nothing wrong with having a stoic tune with a turbo engine, it's actually a good thing)

    Flapper valves in the radiator shroud should give some additional cooling from improving the airflow through the matrix by reducing the stagnant air in the areas near the corners.
