I GOT RESULTS BACK - I am suprised with the results and Matt done a great job....

234.9RWKW@11/12psi.( I dont know why it ran the higher psi as it has an rb20 acuator on it.

Only issue I had was with the spark plugs, it was blowing out the spark at this boost level, there copper and were gapped to 1.1 now Matt regapped them to 0.65.

He didnt mention anything about fuel, afm or anything and they were working quite well at this boost level..

I am curious to see what it will do when i finish what I want to do with it, just a few more minor mods.

AFR's were good to between 11.8 t 12.0.

Well done

i like more auto's having a crack.

good effort on safc etc but that turbo is certainly a pig.

The Auto Hack Paul was talking about isnt realy a hack or anything technical.

simply un plug the brown connector down behind the drivers side head light and it will lock the trans in 3rd gear.

once your finished on the dyno plug it back in and away you go. 1st , 2nd , 3rd..

i notice your dyno was done in drive so it might explain the massive loss in midrange, as he would have to go very easy on the throttle so it dosent kick back to second. thats of course assuming he dosent know about the brown plug.

attached is my old turbo and my current turbo

both running rb25det auto

if you compare midrange power at say 100kmph your not even close.

but both runs on my car are with a PFC but i still think your turbo may be dragging its feet a little..

cheers

Dangerman,

Yeh he was taking it easy until he would reach a certain klm so it would not kick back, it was constantly kicking back on the dyno...

THe turbo is good for what it is though..i know its no gt30 but I wouldnt call it a pig...on the street im pretty sure im gettn 11/12psi by 3000rpm..

it is annoying though as first gear is wheel spin time.....

I would like to get it run again to see its proper power band...i say ill do it at the SAU dyno day, take that brown plug out..

Midrange does suffer a little on the dyno graph but I dont think its reflects this when drivin in real life conditions on the road..

I would get a PFC if I had the money, but as you can see per the mods I havnt spent much at all..a budget build you could say..

Im still wrapped with the power...

Cheers

Does any1 rekon the boost 98 from united helped me along at all...

Im quite interested in fuels and their advantages and thats the reason why I choose the boost98 as it has sumting like 5% ethanol in it...Ive read quite a few articles claiming its miracles, the ethonal that is and how it has to be tuned to it...

Before I got it tuned i used bp 98 and boost 98..untuned the bp98 felt way better, the ethonal decreased power.

I wanted to use shell v-power racing but I cant even find it in sydney yet...

Let me know your thoughts...im still wondering why the power was so high..the dyno is a pretty average reading dyno(DD) aswell.

Cheers

Looks like a BOOSTD style Hiflow, low boost and cliff like power curve. VG30 rear housing and a highflow front wheel on the stock RB25 turbo.

REV210, what are the specs or how do these BOOSTD turbos rate? all I know is that the previous owner said it is rated at 450hp?

Also with the power curve I dont think it represnts it well as the tuner had to bring it on slowly to avoid it kicking back a gear..I will do the mod where it locks in 3rd gear on the SAU dyno day and then see how it goes...

Also you know the goods on fuels, what is your view on BOOST98 from united petrol..did the ethanol help?

Cheers

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
