Guys,

Maybe a stupid question, but 'officially' how long should I give the turbo to cool down - generally, I give it 4-5 mins after I last boot it to cool down (driving or stationary). Is this OK??? or too long/short? - I have no turbo-timer on it, and was just wondering...

Cheers,

Chris.

Usually I drive "off boost" for a few minutes before I know I'm going to shut it down then Ijust let it idle for 1-2 mins . If I havnt had that "off boost" time then I'll leave it idling for a couple more minutes .

Unfortunately my HKS TT got pinched somewhere between Japan and Sydney hehe .

I have an Apexi TT with the auto timer...

If i have the a/c on and i give it a bit the car wants to idle down for about 1:30....

If i just give it a bit it will want about 50seconds

If i baby the car it reads 10seconds....

This is the highest auto setting on the timer too.....

It knows whats best...

EXample: Driving the Mad Mt. It wanted to cool down for 6:30 minutes so it must have really copped it... LOL

      Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
