"Yep Chris, I think me and you must be the only 2 person in the world using this dino... Well, you were using the dino... " MEE TOO

ar looks shit hot, luv it, did you get the guards, or did they come with it?

Thanks guys..

Well, good news and bad news...

Bad news is the car didn't make it on the dyno today.

Good news is that we will get the car on the dyno with a full remap about 3 weeks time.

I'll get some better pics once I get the car clean up. :D

No, when the car came into the country it had a cracked piston and missfired badly on 13 psi on the dyno. It made 320rwhp on 10psi, which led me to believe that the 500rwhp at 20 psi the car was meant to make(without being broken)Tell you what though lag city and a missfire dont make for a fast car, probably a 14 sec car if that. Now its getting a 3litre, cams, portd head, inlet manifold and autronic w/CDI Hope to reduce the lag to something acceptable.

After a nice "hard" and long drive last night, all I can say is that the turbo isn't that bad.

Missing about 1000rpm worth of response compare to modern equal, but once on boost the response is not bad at all.

If you are in the 5000rpm range, rapid on off boost is very responsive...

But since we don't cruise at 5000rpm range... I am seriously looking into a GT4088R. :D

  • 3 months later...

Right, just thought I update you guys.

Ran a dyno on a Dyna Pack, only had 2 so I had to disengage the 4WD system and run it RWD.

All the numbers are at the HUB.

I ran it 1.47Bar, made 573 bhp at 7500RPM

I ran it 1.55Bar, made 597 bhp at 7500RPM

However, It ran lean on the top at 1.55Bar and therefore the power drop right off after 6500RPM or so.

The redline is set 7500RPM, so thats the issue too.

I think the Turbo can easily make 650bhp at the hub at the top end with a redline around 8200.

The turbo should be good up to 1.8Bar.

So there you are, ancient turbo with not so ancient output. :D

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
