RACEWARS 2017

I could tow the daily with the F6 to get into that category if you allow combined totals? Are you going Eff?

[eff xr6t]

Yep I am entered so should be there. A couple of mates have entered aswell with 450+kW e series Falcons so we're planning to make a week of it down there. Another mate just missed out on his entry with his 600+kW el so hopefully some people drop out and he can get down there aswell.

Sweet Eseries car at those power levels should do pretty well!

Yeh should go pretty well hopefully. Bit worried about the motor as I would like to turn it up to 500kw for the weekend but it's untested territory for stock el rods. I'm on the lookout for a set of second hand xr6 turbo Pistons so I can put a half built motor together with some spool rods then I can lift the limiter to 7500 and not worry about making a conrod shower.

Atomic have a set of used stock size CP Pistons for $600. Give brad a call.

 

7500rpm is a big call for the I6 isn't it!?

Hmm might give him a ring and ask him cheers.

7500 is about as far as I would like to take it with standard rocker gear. I set the limiter at 6800 on my mates car with a standard motor for the last 3 years but am worried with more rpm that the stock rod bolts will stretch. Another mate has had his set at 7500 for 6 years now with a built motor and turns it up the 8000rpm for powerskids at powercruise. It's big rpm but as long as it has good lubrication and a good set of valve springs it's not really much diferent to the guys with SBC revving to 9000-10000rpm.

Check the skirt length on those CP's. Mine rattled like a mofo even with tight bore clearance.I wouldn't be comfortable running them up as high as your suggesting unless they have improved the skirts

 

The set I had looked like they should have been in a CRF450 

[eff xr6t]

Interesting wonder if they have made them in diferent skirt lengths. My mates has a set of CP's and has been in his for years but he also had them custom made as no one did a piston to suit the au SOHC chamber when he built it years ago. Do you have the thicker wrist pins in yours Ralph? The set I pulled out of my mates rb30 that was making around 450kw had a noticeable bend to them when rolling across the engineer bench couldn't believe it.
