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.

thats ok i prefer street tunes, will pm ya when i have a free weekend.

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:

HKS GT2835 KAI

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?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
