I know these aren't R32 specific boot installs, but it may give you a few idea in designing your own.

thanks nath32 for sum of those ideas... but im pretty much after a simple boot install wif simple grey carpet.... i want a nice factory look... not into those fibre glass perspex or neon lights... not into the auto salon thing...

ANYMORE KEEP THEM POSTING?

Hey guys i know its not finished yet but ill post mine up when its done :O

My cars going to my mates down at Platinum Car Audio n Interiors for a complete boot install...fibreglass moulding trimmed in leather with a pond in the middle...ill post update pics n whatever else i can take during the build for you guys if you want :(

Never posted pics so i hope this works.... the whole install lifts out in peices, easily able to get to the spare. The box is a little small for the two 12's but it still sounds pretty good :-)

Platinum Car Audio do some amazing work =) i'd love to see the pics of this project, once it's underway.

Thanks guys.....Nah sorry im on the gold coast. The subs, amp and cable came to arround $1400, I did all the electrical work myself which made things cheaper. The boot install part of it was done by Car Tunes for about $500 and that included the parcel tray too.

Daaaammmmm man that is what i was looking for thanks for the ideas i have been racking my brain for ideas but i think that is what m looking for not to out there like some of them ya see A.

Hey how do ya go with vibrating and loss of bass, I mean the different positioning of the subs gives ya the different depth that kind of crap did it make much of a difference?

well these subs also came in a custom box made by kicker and they sounded awesome but unfortunetly the box wouldnt fit in the boot, the depth is nowhere near wat they sounded like in the custom box but that is to be expected. The boot lid does vibrate but u cant hear it inside the car :-) Still even with loss of bass, the fact that i still hav boot space and can pretty easily get to the spare makes up for it.

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      Thanks for the quick replies guys its appreciated. A small extension was welded onto the standard 6boost external gate pipe which you can see where the pipe goes from black to stainless just below and to the right of the rear housing in the first picture. Overall I would say the flow is pretty good other than 6boosts choice to come straight off the collector at a decent angle.. Not sure why I went with two valves, I originally replaced the stock twin bovs with the GFB when I had the twins on. When I purchased the EFR it came with the Turbosmart Kompact BOV so I figured that would be a better option than the stock EFR Bov. I don't believe the Turbosmart BOV is adjustable? When I get the spike and then sudden dip in boost pressure, the turbo speed does drop as well. Stock head size wise however I believe it has Neo Turbo springs and a Neo Turbo intake camshaft and an aftermarket exhaust camshaft in the vicinity of 260 degrees. We didn't try a different MAC valve, we tried two different ways of plumbing it and we also tried removing the mac valve entirely and just having the boost source from the turbo directly connected to the wastegate and it still spiked / dropped and exhibited the same behaviour. Standard R33 GTR 5 speed tansmission. I'm running a Haltech Elite 2500 and can provide some logs if you. I understand what you're saying in that it looks like an auto plot however no, it's still a manual and it just has a lot of torque down low, for all intents and purposes it's a very impressive street car. I've attached a photo of the quickbitz dyno plot which was when the only difference is I was running -5 twin turbos with a mac valve. As you can see theres a decent dip in AFRs between 125kmh and 135kmh. Our problem now is not that the AFRs are dropping, just the boost pressure is dropping, however it is evident in the same RPM range of the map, coincidentally or not.

      What transmission are you running?  It's a bit tricky with the scaling, but at face value the power "curve" looks more like a "line" which is a bit odd... basically a lot more like a dyno plot I'd expect with a highish (compared to a factory auto) stall torque converter type setup. If this is running an auto then this kind of boost control challenge is definitely a thing, the rpm scale on the dyno doesn't reflect what the engine is actually doing (unless the dyno has access to the engine's ACTUAL speed electronically) and what you'll get is a big rpm flare up as the engine torque launches past the converter pump's ability to resist torque at that rpm, then as the converter starts picking up rpm it will kinda even out again and the engine rpm will pick up more steadily. The trick with this "flare up" is if it's kinda near the boost threshold for the turbo then the engine's airflow requirements to maintain the previous boost level will outrun the turbo's ability to supply that boost - so you end up with a natural flattening off, if not dip when that happens.   If you are running closed loop, or even tune the "feed forward" wastegate duty cycle to deal with that rpm spike then when the engine starts settling to a more typical climb you'll actually have a situation where the gate is "too closed" and boost will run away for a bit, then have to pull down again.      It's not trivial to get this perfect as most boost control systems are generally expecting more predictable engine rpm rates of change, but if you *know* that's whats going on then you can at least "accept your fate" and realise getting that area perfect is kinda chasing your tail a bit, and assume that if the rest is working sensibly and the spike/dip isn't completely uncontrolled then you should be good. Sorry if I've gone off on a tangent, but the dyno plot and boost control behaviour look a LOT like what I've seen tuning autos in the past. What ECU are you running? Could possibly be convinced into looking at logs if I get too bored this weekend haha.

      A few things that seem a bit off here. - why is there 2 BOV’s?  - the turbo smart BOV on the compressor housing, is it turned up ALL the way? I have seen this become an issue on old man Pete’s car. It would push open and recirc, turbo speed would rise and the boost pressure would do weird things. - stock head? Does that include springs? - tried a different MAC valve? Is it plumbed correctly?
