Ok, so my stag is FINALLY going on the dyno tomorrow for a tune. What's the guess of RwKW (getting done at UAS in Sydney who only have a 2WD dyno) ??

1997 RS Four V

Mods are:

BOS 3" split dump pipe

Catco Metal Cat

Trust Power Extreme 2 cat back zorst

K&N Panel filter

R34 Intercooler

GTR Fuel Pump

AFC Neo computer

SITC computer

Turbotech mechanical boost controller (expect set to 10psi)

Full service has been done with new filters for everthing, spark plugs, timing belt and water pump so running sweet as a nut.

The prize will be bragging rights for knowing your stagea power figures :D:)

I am running 4wd, but Unique Auto Sports only have a 2wd Dyno so they will drop the driveshaft out. I am hoping for 150awkw, so would have to be 160 or so rwkw I guess.

Will be a big improvment over how it is now though, which is the main thing :)

What time are you going there, Stu? I live just around the corner from UAS and have also just booked my car in for some work there (for early next week), so I might come along, meet you and see how your car runs...

you can just undo 4 bolts and drop the front driveshaft, but you will lose about 10kw.

Less power transferred, is less power lost.

You will not loose power going to RWD, you would expect to gain a minor minor amount, being its not fulltime 4WD.

i think the SITC will make it hard to crack 200rwkw with less load points but who knows maybe we can go around and drop the temp probe in to a nice hot cuppa and crack 220rwkw.

EGA4IT made just over 200rwkw with an RS4S and powerfc with similar mods on the same dyno as a comparison.

OK, the results are in and the winner is .....

Tangles :(

Max power 152.9Kw at the rears running just under 10psi. This is a Series 1, not neo motor by the way. And an auto :P

I will scan the printout at some stage but Andrew at UAS did a nice job on the tune. Power deliver is smooth all the way through with no dips and boost holds constant the whole way. Go the $30 Turbotech controller :) A/Fs are around 12 or just under too so nice and safe.

They did not tune the SITC this time as worried about detonation with the side-mount intercooler and I am driving to Brisbane this weekend so I think they are playing it safe. With a FMIC, exhaust cam gear and some more tweaking on the afc and sitc I would hope to see another 20Kw. All in all pretty close to what I was expecting so can't complain about that.

Goldzilla ... sorry I missed your post as my PC at home is dead and I went down there first thing this morning. Is yours the green one coming in for a 'trial fitting' next week ?? :O

Speaking of fitting, the Power Extreme cat back zorst needed a fair bit of manipulation to line up unfortunately. I guess that is the price of mixing and matching local dump pipe and cat with jap exhaust. A word or warning for others I guess, the BOS dump and Catco cat may not line up exactly like factory

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
