Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Cheers Pete, it does feel good! :D I have to thank you the most, they are your turbos after all! :rofl2: Just a shame I had some gremlins stopping me from running full boost, would have broken 320kw me thinks

Dave, yeah it does sound good mate, pity you didn't hear it on the rollers, hit up my facebook soon though and you can see the run!

ACTUALLY... I ended up going to Shaun at boostworx ( long story, I know I changed my mind more times than I changed my undies :) ) but I'm very impressed with the power and it's delivery. Feels sweet as on the road, struggles a bit for traction though, putting the front shaft back on tomorrow when I get her on the hoist. Simon commented on the tune, in his words "perfect" Couldn't get any better praise than that. I think he wanted me to move to E85 though :P

Well, the results are in if anyone cares... Had a boost controller issue, only able to wind 16psi into it but still good numbers!

Noice! Well done. Stuck with 16psi ... what were you aiming for? 20+?

I'd be happy with 200 out of the Stag when I'm done.

bought a new family car today, not a skyline/stag sadly, but decent none the less.

got a 2000 Holden Vectra olympic edition in metallic blue, 107k power everything etc.

they where asking 9999, managed to screw them on a 4 k trade in for the 99 auto 1.5ltr lancer..hehe

so $5999 cash on top of shitty lancer, im happy with that.

20 would be the MAX, more like 18psi. Either way I'm happy with the results

I am hopefully going to be getting 250rwkw or above out my R33 around September/October time.

Fantastic power mate, MORE than plenty really. After driving the R around in RWD mode, you realise just how much 300+kw is. 250 is a very respectable figure

Should've read "stuck on 16psi" not "stuck with 16psi" ... not like you had a choice by the sounds of it.

Obviously you ran it on AWD. I'll be squeezing my lemon later in the year to see what I can get out of it ... in AWD also (and a manual box conversion).

I recall Ben (Grim) passing comment to run 24psi in this stag eventually. Be interesting what he gets out of that "family wagon".

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
