hi there all. just thought this new post might be a good guide for others out there who are looking for approximate power gained from mods done to our cars. may it be a simple air filter or manual boost controller, to an all out rebuilt motor or T88......if you have one :( ..hahah

well i guess being the first to start this new thread off, i'll start with what i have. don't ask me about the power though as will be getting a pfc soon to go with new engine :(

- turbo back TRUST exhaust

- Hybrid/Calsonic Front mount (miniature type haha)

- Mines ECU

- Turbo Dynamics turbo (Don't know rating or the A/R ratios sorry)

- boost controller (hose clamp :( hahahhAHAHHA)

...no idea what these mods will give me in power, so how bout an estimate aye people? <_<......i was hoping for around 180kw atw at this stage of time. not sure about my injectors or anything else. pretty much got a motor, threw it in, and drove away.

i am in the process of sticking in a new RB25DET NEO :lol: into my car instead to see if the valve timing will alter anything. perhaps fuel economy?

was reading up the ECU tuning threads, and seems as though that tuning a PFC will lean to the $450-550 mark. is that about right?.....i live in sydney, so not sure whereabouts to get the tuning done, but seems as though HITMAN does a good job for decent pricing aye? coz im might also get a T03/04 turbo as well, so not sure what to do at this point in life..sigh:(........i hate being stranded on money with so much on the "to-do" list....oh ..chinese new year..heahe...red pockets please? :D

so if everyone can just state mods and current power, as well as state of tune that'd be greatly appreciated!

My car is getting tuned tomorrow after some serious work has been put in.......estimating just from now anywhere between 330-380rwhp :) So to answer your question in kw thats high 200's??? hahaha I dunno

^ 261rwkw with a GT-RS.

that looks like 17-18psi on the chart then it drops off a bit, is that about right?

I made 230-240 at 15psi with pretty much the same setup.

anyone know if internals are safe at 18psi? if so, might ramp mine up a bit :D

nice one.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
