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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • 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.
