"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

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

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
