I've got a blitz dual SBC spec S. Low is 0.6bar and high is 0.8bar, been tuned by one of the best in the business (imho) and I havent had any detonation or pinging, but its also a lot colder than summer, so I'll be reverting to 0.6bar (I think stock is 0.5bar anyway) when summer rolls around and when I can afford it I'll pop in a front mount i/c

Nope, I'm tired of people argueing about who the best tuning shops are and who are crap and use sub standard methods, plus I dont like naming names as a couple of years ago I almost got taken to court for a post on hotcopper.com about the company I was working for. My suggestion is look at what projects they have built or had a hand in.

I've been to 3 tuning places and I'm very happy with this one.

Not that it matters to me cos I have my own favourites , but you can't get into trouble for recommending someone, only if you bag them without just cause.

IMHO I'm sure the tuner would be happy for the free plug as most times all you hear is how bad someone is, not how happy you are.

:)

also might add to the list of places to try

i've been to;

psi

cypher

formaz

and xspeed

have heard of

barry's automotive

performance turbos

west racing

and a couple others i can't remember

in the end it comes down your personal experience at a place. a name want hurt.

ps for your 1/4 time on those boost levels low to mid 14sec passes with your mods

Count me in, so long as its fine and cold. Just had a boost controller put in and I want to improve on my 14.82 I set last-time (completely stock, cept for a 3.25" cat back system). I'm hoping for a very low 14 or high 13 with the extra boost.

Rob

Hmm I can't see you getting 13s with cat back and a bit of boost.

My first run was 14.5 - that was with just cat-back and pod filter.

now i have full turbo back exhaust with hi flow cat and 10psi (.7bar)

I am still not sure if i will hit 13s or not....... probably depend on the conditions ie how slippery the track is and how cool the air is.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
