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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
