Last friday I installed a Gates Racing timing belt, new idler& tensioner pulleys (and idler pulley bolt), aswel as a new Tomei adjustable exhaust cam gear (now set at 4degrees retarded).

Had the car re-tuned today to suit the new adjustment. Last dyno run made 248kw

now makes 260kw :D im stoked with the result! power comes on earlier, smother, and with a touch less boost (17 psi rather than 18). All my runs are on BP ultimate 98 octain fuel.

theres a few pics below of the belt, cam gear & dyno sheet.

for those who dont know...the cars basics: Stock engine

pod filter

FMIC

AVO hi-flow turbo

big injectors

big fuel pump

adj fuel reg

tuneable ecu

turbo back 80mm zaust & hiflow cat

do you find it a big boggy now that youve taken off the factory VTC solenoid ?

VTC is still there (just not in the photo). Its more resposive than its ever been now

Just a few questions:

1) Did u consider adding an injector instead of getting 6 bigger ones? Is so y did u choose to go bigger

2) How much more can ur highflow turbo do?

3) At what point do u reckon ull start to need to do internals?

1) No. Maxed out my stock ones at 220kw...so got bigger. Only $20 difference btw 550 & 840 so I just chose the bigger because I know there a pain to change an now i'll never have to do it again :(

2) the turbo can be pushed to about 22psi safely....but my head gasket can cope with that as its still stock.

3) most people say at about 280-300kw is where you should be looking into forged pistons (even though the stock ones are forged) and better rods (most people use linished GTR rod)

So by retarding the exhaust cam 4degrees, you gained 20kw atw?

Nice work.

aswel as re-tuning the car to suit :)

Yeah, I was over the moon! my tuner cant believe the power my car makes with stock engine an small turbo. Its averaging around 12.5 A/F ratio under load too which is still a safe tune. could get more if i leaned it off an ran more boost....but i dont want to. Maybe for a few runs on the Dyno at Autosalon to impress...hehe

thanks mate!

No real plans for further power. more power = bigger turbo & engine bottomend rebuild to cope = expensive

just hunting down some nice rims now an thats about it

just having fun with it this year, few deca days track day & drift training days....

by tunable i mean aftermarket. I run a microtech LTS-12 :(

looks like now with that little extra power im in need of a catch can....few reports of seeing blue smoke from my car after full throttle acceleration then backing off....its creating a bit too much pressure an the oils getting by, so catch can will rectify this.

thanks to those for letting me know

Yeah I was tellin Kris about that...I was behind you and was coppin a fair amount of blue smoke...thought somethin might have been wrong...then a few times right after the blue smoke would be a pretty thick puff of thick white smoke...

nice result mate....got mine sitting there and was going to to the belt soon...

I saw the blue smoke when u backked off...was going to pm u about it but forgot...

nice result...I hope I get some similar gains...will try with a de-cat setup just for the dyno to see the difference between my hi-flo cat and nothing...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
