I had the Powertune Digital display for ages. It was absolutely awesome. The support was absolutely fkn amazing. I was able to do a remote session with them on a sunday arvo to diagnose/fix a small issue(I'm very picky). I jumped onto the IC7 train and onsold the display to a close mate who absolutely loves it as well. You can customize everything and anything, unlike the IC7. I personally think, that the only advantage the IC7 has is boot up speed. My only gripe with the Powertune dash was the bootup time of around 13-15 seconds(compared to around 6-8 for the IC7). Everything else, the powertune dash does it better. I designed my own R34 MFD style dash as well as many others. If you're good with computers/graphics then get the powertune dash, end of story. Regarding the bootup speed, the newer powertune dashes are much quicker(Not sure how fast). I do regret selling my dash. I'm pondering selling my IC7 and buying a new powertune dash.

EFR All Day for response. I have a 9180 on mine. The response is pretty damn amazing.

replace it with an rb30 and crank 30psi till it breaks

I second this 100%. I replaced the stock pumps in my R33 GTST and my R32 GTR. It was LITERALLY a 5 min job in both occasions. Wasted a box of beers, as we only took like 3 sips

Yep, happened to my stock box too. Easy fix though, replace with an Albins.. you can then run a box cooler which wont heat your feet up as much.

I also pondered the same when ordering, but couldnt be bothered, so went iron. Mines a 9180, and its not really heavy either.

That guy needs to die already. If he lived near my house, I'd be in jail already for cutting his head off.

How much does the response shift to the left on the dyno? What size motor is yours?

I was looking for this info too when i was looking at upgrading. Ended up buying the Alpha Omega Racing one instead of cf.

If so, the someone will have to cut my head off before I buy a fkn shit PRP piece of dump.

Yep thats it. OEM flows around 160lph, but I've never been able to figure out how the testing is done.. ie at what revs etc.

What do you mean by that?

Right, so we swapped the water pumps. Haven't started it as doing other work, so it will be a few weeks, but this is the pump that came out of my motor, 8 blade Nissan. You can see the size difference. We measured the internal housing dimensions and they are identical. Fingers crossed this puppy lives up to its hype.

Anyone know whether the 9180 and the 9280 have interchangeable exhaust housings?

Holy smokes. I'd hate to be the big end bearings on that! 800+Nm under 4k!

Agreed 100%. I am thinking of the 9280, but in the meantime I'll see if I can crack 900w on e85.. I seriously doubt it, but I'll find out very soon. I'm hoping the extra cubes and headwork will get me that magic number at the same or similar boost. I'd be happy if i could run higher boost as long as my IAT and EMAP's don't skyrocket.

Thread reminds me of my journey... dropped my 26 to swap bearings and upgrade sump, ended up with a 3.2 with big single bla bla bla.

So I just got my waterpump, and externally it looks stock, but the blades seem to be pretty big. Here are some pics. I will go measure/compare this weekend and put more pics up, as I havent found any other mention of this pump being used ever, soo might come in handy. Must say, it feels rather heavy/beefy. The bearings are replaceable too, so theoretically you could use this pump for a LONG time.

For 850whp, and If you have extensive headwork, then the 9180 probably wont cut it, or it might be borderline. Remember the 9180 is rated to 900hp only. I'm on around 750whp on around 25psi only, mind you, the tune isnt dialled in as it was a 'tidy up' tune only, however I was having IAT issues, so suspect turbo is being choked. I have a wheel speed sensor and EMAP going in along with other bits and pieces so be interesting to see how fast its spinning and how much headroom left.

I happen to have the same combo but with an Albins that is getting swapped now. Have a look at my sig/profile. I went with the 1.05? housing too. I think this turbo's spot on if you want response and decent top end.

How was your idle ect temps? My oil temps are super stable.

Right, so I've decided to bite the bullet and buy the Reimax Gr.A waterpump.. not cheap but outflows any other waterpump I can find, inc ewp's. This thing flows 250L compared to 160 stock. https://www.rhdjapan.com/reimax-gr-a-high-flow-water-pump-bnr32-bcnr33-bnr34-wgnc34.html I'm sure that the waterpump that I have must have 6 blades(or is an N1 pump), as at low speed/idle my temps aren't as good as it should. This is on my built 3.2. Does anyone know how the flow rates are measured? ie at what RPM?

100%. You wont get much change from 5k if you want to pull a motor out to refresh the bottom end bearings. Whilst the parts may not cost much, its usually everything else surrounding it. Not to mention time.

20psi on a 26 by 3500 is good I thought?
