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!

anyone get defuct last nite at lofty?

a couple of my mates got done by unmarkers :)

yeh i got a msg from mitch last night.. was gonna take the rolla for a strap but thought twice!!

must be mass cop heat atm!

welcome to the 300 club buddy boy

yeh welcome to the 300 club Luke

awesome power curve on that dyno sheet u got there. welldone

also god to see you went to Morpowa, Simon is a GREAT bloke down there and very helpful

how does it feel on the road???

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

what was the "knock" reading if u dont mind me asking

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

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

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".

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
