24.01.2022 Big ChrisO had ProVl in for a new torque converter upgrade over the last week, naturally we decided to confirm the tune on our Mainline DynoLog Dynamometers pro hub, considering the spool time is now halved it was also good to see a new pb in max power with 824rwhp (614rwkw) on 34psi, United E85 and controlled by a Link ECU Fury ecu

24.01.2022 We had the pleasure of having Mark's immaculate single cam RB30 VL turbo Calais in the workshop over the last few weeks.

20.01.2022 We have had the pleasure over the weekend to help good friend Matty's tune his twin turbo small block chevy Datsun Bluebird on our Mainline DynoLog Dynamometers hub dyno. Using a Link ECU Thunder ecu and simulating a full mid 4 second drag runs we were able to calibrate full boost control tables ready for racing in 2 weeks time Final figures were right on target at 2400hp at the hubs, certainly a very tuff combination when still using the older twin Gtx Garrett - Advancing Motion 76mm turbos !!!

19.01.2022 Ben's immaculate VL Turbo Calais was once again back for it yearly service and dyno tune, still running the exact same combination of upgrades as last time we had the pleasure of having it in the workshop One very interesting result though was the direct comparison between our old Dyno Dynamics roller dyno and our Mainline DynoLog Dynamometers pro hub 5000 hub dyno, a lot of times we hear mixed results between hub and roller dynos but first power testing with no tuning recorded a very comparable 710rwhp on the hub, just 4 rwhp less from over one year ago on the roller dyno, we'd say not much in that at all With some further detailed tuning results were once again impressive considering the factory style low mount turbo kit, final results came in at 729rwhp (540rwkw) !

04.01.2022 Well its certainly been a unpredictable last few months around the world, but one thing we can guarantee is the power of our single cam RB30 cylinder heads. Most know we have been involved with the development and tuning of "Victor Jet's" Jet30R vl calais turbo over the last few years and it has been success since day one, with multiple pbs set including the first 7 second 1/4 mile pass for the team and the history making, the first 4 second 1/8th mile pass ever on a 235 drag... radial tyre in Australia. In late 2019 we had a call from Vic "We need to do something" was the opening sentence, a plan was put together which included a brand new cylinder head package and the assistance of preparation of required short block components so Vic could get the assembly process under way at his "head quarters" in Sydney We implemented the same weld strengthening process to a selected 30 plus year old Nissan casting, preparation included our house insert and guide installation, specially developed cnc seat job, full custom race "hand" porting and chamber preparation, valve, valve spring and component selection and precision assembly. With only a few days to complete the full final assembly and prepare the car, after the decision was made to enter and test at Kenda 660, the track results where immediate!!! with a gain of over a tenth and a half in ET and 4 mph at the 1/8th, a new pb of 1.183, [email protected] with the new cylinder head package installed. Again, we would like to thank Vic, Jenny and the whole Jet30R team for the opportunity to once again push the boundaries of the RB30 single cam platform, and for all the number crunchers out there, yes its still a cast RB30 block, stock crank 3 litre on ethanol fuel. Is it over, never, so get ready, the boys from plazmaman.com racing have come on board with some exciting new components ready to test on the car as soon as possible. #jwautomotive #teamjw #jet30R #linkecu #6boost #precisionturbo #plazmamanracing #thejet275
