Successful first event for the k24 gemini!

Alot to learn dialing in the setup but I now have some data to go over and use to make it faster. Unfortunately I got taken out of competition first round but thats racing ill try and compile a video together in the next week or so about it for now ill have to give an update on the car this week as the setup has changed a bit since the last video so keep an eye on the YouTube channel for those to come...

Ran the 240 treadwear tyres the whole event and from the very first pass they were dialed and repeatable. Im very impressed with there consistency and performance for a 240 treadwear tyre and keen to get them even faster!

Vl in for some work last week.

Fitted a set of pac 1218 valve springs.
Drilled and tapped timing cover for drain back from super charger.
Bled cluch (had to swap slave as it started to leak.

Got it onto the dyno and started to do the tune on it. Unfortunately the clutch also gave up the ghost at around 450hp, so back off the dyno it came to get a new clutch setup fitted.

Back onto the dyno the following day the stock ls1 besides the valve springs made a best of 513hp at around a peak of 10psi on 98 petrol and 811nm of torque..

Will definatly be a fun thing to blast around in..

Damo brought me his vx to sort out. He ended up buying a setup from another customer of mine and a vx to put it all in. After I finnished putting the engine together.

He fitted the engine to the car after it had a fresh respray in the factory colour, then dropped it off to me to do my thing.

Fitted the powerglide and torque converter.
Fitted ethels old intake to it permanently and modified so rails he supplied to fit (they later had to be swapped out)
Fitted a wastegate to a set of my manifolds he had hpc coated
Fitted an intercooler he supplied and fabbed cooler piping to suit the intake and turbo he supplied
Fabbed and fitted a full 3.5inch exhaust system in 304 ss
Fitted a supplied trans cooler
Fitted a supplied battery box and relocation kit also Tidied up and routed the factory body wiring to suit the battery relocation
Fitted a b n m Rachel shifter for the glide
Supplied and fitted a surge tank with 2x walbro 525 pumps and 8an feed line.
Fitted 2 x supplied catch cans in the front bumper area for ease of servicing and to save what little room was left in the engine bay.
Supplied and fitted all turbo water and oil lines.
Supplied and wired up ecu master black ecu and supplied ign1a coils and brackets

The car tuned up and was really nice and responsive the fitted pulsar 3584 gen3 1050 turbo had little lag and responded will to the cam kit installed, sadly the converter was also way to loose for the spec and it reeled off a best of 543hp @ 30-31psi according to the onboard map sensor but made well into the 1200nm of torque and very little wheel speed for the 2 speed glide.. the setup still has alot more potential and im keen to see how it goes with a converter change to really put that torque to the ground or well turn the tyres.

Always a good day when theres a gtr on the dyno.. this particular one in for a break in and tune up on petrol.

Built 2.6ltr
6speed sequential trans (running in rwd obviously for this tune)
Garret g35
Custom exhaust manifold
Trust intercooler with custom piping
Halted plung in ecu
Trigger kit
Prp coils

Made a best of 445hp where we decided to call it for 98 after making 422hp at 15psi.

Its definitely going to be a spicy unit on e85 and it sounds fantastic at 8500rpm especially with the sequential makes it feel very race car!

Gotta get some testing in but exited for some no prop action in this.

Got the pleasure of doing the break in on grants beautiful vc commodore after some callander issues.. the warspeed engine did flawless as expected.

It made a wopping 606hp at a mear 7psi and I'm sure my tune was very average as I wasnt able to find proper injector data for the injectors installed in the vehical. Im just over the moon to be able to be a part of such a quality build and trusted to be a part of it regardless of how small my part has been... keen to see how the weapon of a build progress in the future Grant Pollard

Another one chalked up for a win..

I tuned mitches ute early last year some time after he built it.. late last year he was saying it had a bad miss and wasnt really drivable and asked if there may have been a bug in the tune.. I told him the tunes dont really change themselves but not to rule anything out I got him to bring it down and went over it all the same.. there was a minor bug in there but not causing his issue

I discovered it had a bad coil or trigger issue still using the stock distributor on the car so I suggested we fitted an au trigger system and some ls coils, he took it away at 380hp and misbehaving.

He hit me up around new years wanting to get it sorted so I gave him my next available time slot and he dropped it off to me this Tuesday. I then spent all Tuesday and some of today wiring up his ls coils au crank trigger and modifying the dizzy to a signal the haltech wants. I then found as I was in the middle of re-tuning it the injectors were maxing out at 10psi, so might as well stick another set in it while its on the dyno, mitch was happy to do so so I got to work swapping them over and then going back over the tune again with the new Injectors..

Haltech elite 750 calling the shots
2000cc bosh injectors
Stock intech with some form of aftermarket camshaft.
6 boost manifold
No name 3585 turbo
Stock 5 speed (soon to be a box of neutrals i fear)
E85
6 x ls coils

It made a best of 547hp at 15psi of air from the no name turbo a significant improvement over the last setup and no more bug!

Keen to see how it goes and how long the trans will last in it 😊😅

Kicking goals already this year. Pumped out some top jobs already.. one of them being Adrian's lexen.

We were having some issues with it keeping a head gasket in it lately st year using what was supposed to be the top stuff as far as head gaskets go.

After making the decision to go back to a conventional gasket I removed the heads to find it had hurt a piston when the ring from the gasket let go.

So out came the engine over the new year period I pulled it all appard and checked it all swapped over the piston we purchased from a top bloke.

Then began the re-assembly using my sub 1000hp head gasket solution, the engine was fitted back to the car this week and today it hit the dyno running out of gate spring so we have decided to call it there.

It made a best of 753hp at 31psi through the glide and 9inch rear end

Still has some more potential in it at a later date once Adrian has gotten some seat time in the car and done a few events well push for 800ish hp.

For now I still runs drives maked great power and torque and still has the head gaskets and engine intact. Keen to see how this rig goes out at the track.

Capri in for a tune this week.

The little small block ford was fitted with a carburettor so I had to bust out the screw drivers and hammers, it made a best of 398hp on motor

Then we decided to hit it with 100hp of gass wich netted just over 100hp and pushed it up to 501hp at the tyre

Hopfully the setup will be able to reach his goals but it sounds like theres a miss match in some parts on it probably holding it back a bit. Nonetheless I'm keen to see what it runs at the track and where it goes when it comes back after a few changes.
