um compared to my old hi flow stock turbo, boost comes on neally the same, not much lag at all an when boost comes on, it comes on strong and just spins... 1,2,3rd are a waste of time ahhaha..we went with the smallest ex housing for the gt35r think its .64 , \dont know how long a internaly stock engine would last if you wound one right up..

Yeah I am hoping the stock internals will last a little while. Ken is going for a safe tune with it to make it last...will be looking at rebuilding with stronger internals at some point...but hopefully later than sooner :P

I have the .82 ex housing on the GT3540R so cant wait to see how it goes in just over a week :(

Sounds similar to the tune done on mine by Steve, and I'm running a safe boost as well. Can't go wrong with only needing 12-13psi to get 350 :P That's the lowest he could get it because of the wastegate spring I think it was, when it can get changed I will have 250 on one setting 350 on the other, wet weather spec & fun spec.

Once upon a time I said cars were a way to go from A to B.......then I said a mildly modified R33 would keep me happy.......then I said 300rwhp would be more than enough..........I'm not going to say what I think now. :(

Many SAU guys Stock 25s have lasted well at 350-380rwhp if tuned right inc Missinglink, Welky(Bout 4 years)Ossie21 etc so yeh their a good engine.Your Turbo will be on boost a lot later than these guys and Smiddys tho but will putout when it does come on.

hahaha tell me about it.. i went from 270hp to 450odd on the low setting, haaha god knows what we will get when i replace the coils, cat,diff. f*&k knows what els.. then i will prob still want more :)

Thats good to know :) I will only be able to drive it for a week (hopefully the motor, clutch etc can hold out that long hehe), then back to London for another 5 months :) Hopefully all you guys are going to the cruise on 23rd April...coz that coincides with me being home. Set to pick the car up on the 21st.

Can't wait to see how hard it pulls on boost

P.S. Shmiddy...your engine bay looks awesome :) Love those high mounts...I will probably spend more time with my bonnet up staring at the GT35 than driving the thing ;) hehe

haha yeah it gets like that...when I got the 33 I went a lot harder than my S15 (totally stock) but then it felt slow...so the search for power started along with some $$$ (not in Shmiddy's category yet though but working on it :)). Then I am sure it will end up feeling slow again, so will need the rebuild and more $$$ to keep me happy :)

Might have to go wider than the 265's on it to get anywhere...or potter around at 3k rpm so boost doesnt hit :)

hey shmiddy i bet ya wish ya had 4wd now with that power haha, my rb26 in my old car (2wd) with 360rwhp was an absolute animal to control and smoked tyres from any speed, and ended up getting frustrating if ya tryin to race someone and they cain u with half the power cause im busy laying strips behind me :P thats the main reason i got the stagea, because its 4wd. now ill blow gearboxes instead :)

u will be spending more on tyres than fuel :)

hope to check it out in person in the future

cheers

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
