Another reason I want the compression kept the same is because im looking at bolting on a Vortech S trim blower later on down the track.. one of the main reasons I want a 'full' rebuild..

Will be almost time for another phone call I think.. Will have a budget to work with by April..

Depending on the stock pistons strength you can carefully flycut them a little.A built engine should have A/market pistons anyway.
I'd like to see a camshaft from Hell in it with the manual combo & make some real power.Only problem is that big cams & low compression = low cylinder pressure & a lack of engine efficiency especially at low engine speeds,you really need a combination using more compression with a larger cam.

ok yep I follow..
a cam from hell sounds liek fun.. maybe i should just focus on one for now, the s/c is still a way off, was just thinking lower comp to make it easier in the future, but if its gonna make it a pig n/a, will just have it built properly n/a and re - address the compression issue when its time to go the forced induction route, its still a way off yet, but its on the books.. the rebuild will and I want it to happen in April/May..

I tell you what Stiddy, You wont be sorry if you let the G&D boys build your engine. They know their stuff.

It all comes done to how much money you have to spend.

Top quality parts will always cost money.....
As most people know there are always ways to cut corner's and save a buck. Been there done that.
And in the end I would have been better off spending the extra at the time...

Cheers...Kev

They all have some serious issues down at G&D. :Up_to_som They are basicly one sick bunch of people when it comes to performance cars. :eclipsee_ If you have money and you want power LOOK OUT....

The thing you dont get to see is the GRIN

Glenn gets on his face when you start talking more power.The more he tells you about what he can do the bigger the GRIN gets.
I can just imagine the grin now and how excited he would be talking to you about going sick on a I6.

They love there cars thats for sure.... :SaiyanSmi

Cheers .......... KEV

I am hoping for around 150rwkw from an AU1 5 Speed XR6 VCT, so hopefully this is possible without a cam change (are there even change over cams?), or head work.

G&D VCT cams are ready to go.

For anyone questioning prices, you normally only get what you pay for and quality cost more than rubbish.

Tornado · 02-03-2006, 06:06 PM

Hi Guys,

Have you done any flash tuning work on a T3 ?
What sort of gains should I expect from a flash tune on my stock T3 auto ?
What should I expect from an exhaust and flash ?

Below is the dyno printout from my car.

Haven't done a T3 yet but I would expect to see good gains with intake,exhaust & edit.Would like to see 220rwkw's plus from your combo

That sounds awesome, what would I be looking at price wise for the cam, and edit installed? Also what kinda numbers would you expect it to pull at the rears combined with pacemaker comps, 2.5 inch exhaust, and tickford intake (5 speed manual AU1 VCT)?
