It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

ok so I've got my head back on and everything seems pretty good so far. Good old 3.0L purring away.

Been driving around a bit but the f**king battery dropped a cell. Left me on the side of the road. Won't buy century again, thats for sure. Its only 8 months old.

can anyone recommend a tuner down your way that will do a tune on a weekend? going to need a tune before the easter cruise

ecu's a Link g4.

thanks

rob

I do Powerfc, Link, and Vipec. ANd on a weekend, because I am not a workshop.

Can't do it on a dyno though, will need to be a street tune.

Disapointing results from my car today...... Only managed 240rwkw @18psi

Considering the turbo I have is supposed to be an improved version of the GT2835 Pro S, its quite annoying, Pro S turbos have easily seen 260rwkw and I have all the supporting mods to achieve that.

Going to do a compression test when i find some time and motivation, Bit of a blow spending all that money to achieve what I could have got with a high flow.

Data on the HKS GT2835 KAI for those interested:

thats not that bad of a result :cheers: , what suporting mods do you mean? and also remenber your in tropical mackay with huge heat and humidity!!!!!!!!!!!! do you have w/m injection? if not thats the best bang for buck and you'll get that figure your looking for. i garentee you who ever got 260rwkw would be at the same level if they came up here and hit the dyno. was that with robbie doing your tune? and pluse i would like to see the dyno chart i bet its got a great respone on that turbo so all the power would be in the mid range which would equal wheel spin city :rofl: but that depends on what your looking for. if it made great tourqe than who cares about hp even though i crap on about it still stuck on the old days of how much hp it makes not what tourqe did it produce. i bet its fun to drive though :cool:

Yeah I'm just disapointed that i spent so much on it when I could have gone for a hypergear for alot cheaper.

The Pro S's have got great figures, Joeyjoejoe on here has pushed over 300rwkw with E85, and was running 280ish rwkw with 98.

I wasnt targetting such high levels, but nice to know the turbo wasnt at its full potential in case I wanted to wind everything up

Dyno's correct horsepower loss from heat through intake air temp sensors (well as far as I'm aware anyway) so realistically same dyno in 2 different locations should read fairly similar

Its def fun to drive, Will be better when my 18's come. But still is a bit of a disapointment

Mods I have are:

Nismo 555cc

tomei in tank fuel pump

3" intercooler piping (stainless) with GKTech intercooler

Splitfire coilpacks

Power FC

Z32 AFM

NPC 10" Sprung Button clutch

3" turbo back exhaust (XForce)

Full HKS GT2835 KAI Kit (intake pipe, lines etc)

Thats all I can really think of atm, Think thats it

Hadnt thought about water meth but I dont think thats the issue. ATM I cant be bothered spending any more money on it, spent enough already and I've lost alot of motivation right now, so maybe in a few weeks I will see.

Pretty sure it's the turbo hey. Might try and get a pro s tune off someone and compare the maps. If there radically different I would say the turbo is limited

I'm in talks with nengun who supplied it and they are going to talk to HKS about it. ATM I'm putting no blame on nengun as they just passed on HKS information. So will see what they come back with

On holidays next week so car can wait for now.

You've probably got a massive boost leak somewhere... I'd say the stainless intercooler piping that you got someone to weld for you...

The tune is pretty damn good and there is nothing else I can think of that could restrict the power output. It's still not a bad figure, though. Every step forwards is a step towards a goal.

I'd say it was the turbo as well... What's your timing like?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
