Thread: Gday from Australia

Hi all,

I recently discovered this forum in my quest to build an ethanol content analyser, but saw that there is some good info around here so I thought I'd sign up and see if I can contribute.

Cheers,
Ed.

Hi Ed, glad you did!

You running anything SR20-powered at the moment?

Hi cobber! Enjoy your stay!

Yeah, so I've got an SR20 powered S14 Silvia in Australia that I've developed into making 480rwhp using a combination of cp pistons, eagle rods, HKS solid lifts, HKS camshafts and some other bits and bobs in the head.

Power delivery comes from a Hypergear turbo that is manufactured here in Australia and is essentially a TD06-20G, however with a billet front wheel with extended tip technology, much like the new range of Garret GTX series turbos, only pretty much half as expensive.

I recently went down a frame size in turbo (to the TD06) from a Apexi/IHI RX6 based turbo which made 450rwhp on our premium unleaded fuel, and in conjunction with E85 made more power and increased the power band by another 500rpm which was a huge success.

Cheers Kyle, seems like this forum community appears to still be thriving as opposed to the other forums in Australia.
