Hi Guys.

Well I got the car back this afternoon and although I havent really had a chance to put my foot down I have the dyno graphs to post. The car feels strong now, ive only been using 0.5 bar of boost but its pulls like it used to on 1bar! And I havent stalled it yet with the new clutch! ;) bunny hopped though! lol

The first two are at the high boost setting which is around 1.25 bar.

These next two are the low boost setting, just under 0.8bar

Cant wait to get her out on a dry road and see what she now feels like!!

Looking good. ;) I noticed the boost @ 1.2bar tapered off after peak torque, and then had a bit of a rise at the end. Might be calibration of your controller?

Also the scale on your plots indicates crank hp. Given your spec, I'd think that power delivered should be at the wheels.

The 0.8 bar plot @ 367hp has a very nice, smooth shape - I like it. Should be very driveable and I notice that the high rpm torque does not drop off. There's the turbine efficiency working for you, not choking the engine.

Very nice overall, and give us a drive report once you've done a few miles.

cheers

Trouble is I am still using the actuator that came with the kit.

This was only a 7psi one so when we tried to go over 1.2bar the boost became unstable and spiked quite a bit, it also couldnt hold the boost at high rpm. We did see over 450bhp at the fly though. When the better actuator goes on i am sure we could raise the boost to say 1.3 - 1.4 and keep it stable meaning 450bhp +

Still havent tried it out on the road yet as its been too wet!

not a good pic as you cant see the rod, however the HKS ones are adjustable from mem, So you should be able to adjust the preload up a lot. For example adjust it so that the target boost is 1 - 1.1 bar and then let the EBC do the rest.

Agreed.......

100% sure the actuator has an adjustable rod, as i had one myself.

Do not waste money buying another actuator as these are great and can hold boost without any problem. Wind the rod in (make it shorter) till you have set your desired "low boost" setting, then use your EBC to achieve the "high boost" setting. I am disappointed to read that you mechanic is not aware of such basic principals :D

Caution: Set too much preload on the actuator, and the boost will spike; set too little and boost response will be "lazy".

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
