Eww, i stepped in Turbosmart. :blush: LOL i dont like the sound of them...dont know how much substance there is to my observation but they seem to give the note a much higher pitch :D

I could have said HKS but the price of them is frightening with the ex-rate. Turbosmart are a local product and must be okay if guys running 6 second passes who need precise boost control are using them.

My HKS GTII was the other way tonight Dave...we had trouble getting it to lower the boost. Turned out it was the Blitz EBC not doing what we wanted it too...so we switched it off and adjusted boost by increasing pre-load on the spring.

Just finished up at JEM.

End result was 325rwkw at only 16psi!

So this is 30rwkw more than i was running last tune with 1psi less boost. Unbelievable stuff.

Unfortunately there is still an issue with holding boost. Needs a 60mm gate like Pauls or upgrading the turbo.

Straight to 22psi and bleeds all the way down to 16psi, BUT the power curve is still rising lol

Will post a sheet tomorrow.

Makes bucket loads of torque, Adam mentioned its making almost the same torque as a recent 400rwkw 2J he tuned!

Should be good fun at Powercruise this week :thumbsup:

lol, now go get some damn sleep! :thumbsup:

a bit shy off my guess though :D

At 24psi we were aiming for the turbo could not flow that much air for some reason. Would have been 350 for sure.

It is happy where it is, so ill enjoy it for a while.

Well done excellent result. Mine was doing very similar spiking to 24psi and only holding 18-19. fixed that issue with a better actuator. Bet it feels good on the street.

Awesome result!! Thats promising stuff for both the turbo and E85 - I can imagine it being fun on the road :thumbsup:

The boost droppign is really strange, you should be able to get more power/boost out of that car - the fact that the power was still climbing despite boost dropping SURELY indicates there is more compressor in it? Maybe something funny up with the wastegate setup or something?

What is the wastegate spring set for? Maybe go straight for a 1.2bar one!

If he has the stronger waste gate spring in it its set for 60psi, then its all down to how you setup the boost/vacume lines into the gate and the preload that makes the different boost levels.

Have you tried connecting A&B to the boost controller and port D to the boost source instead of C? or ports D&A to the boost source and port B to the boost controller? they should result in a higher minimum boost levels.

If we could get boost to flatline ar 22psi, it would make out of this world numbers for the turbo size. E85 seems to unlock of alot of power from any setup.

The turbo size isn't to be underestimated of course, a lot of people sell them short imho :D Regardless it sounds like awesome fun, and there is going to be more in it yet if you get a little more greedy :( Would love to know how it would go at the strip...

how big are your injectors mate?

740cc Nismo

Yea Dave go port D which they say to use if the boost is spiking. Also try the larger diameter Valve seat so it flows more ;)

Installing the bigger valve seat is the next step.

bad news.. your injectors wont supply more then about 330 - 340rwkw with e85. I hit a major brick wall on weekend with my 740's and i had to go back to pump and put e85 on hold for a while. & i have a 044 and was using 52psi base pressure.

Guilt, did you monitor the pressure under boost to see if it stayed 1:1 from the base ?

Just asking as there is a guy in the RB25DET turbo upgrade thread with 555cc nismo's doing 320rwkw on E85...

Gary

yeah i hooked the fuel system up to the dyno - my fuel system is fine. with pump gas it holds the afr fine 11.7 to 10.8 on boost.

He must be running his injectors at 100% flat out with a good fuel system as well.

I am not interesed in running my car on the edge of the fuel system, i have invested too much time and money in the engine to risk a lean out and blow up.

Now i am running 80% injectors at 374rwkw and its nice and safe for me.

I think I wont be going back to e85 without 1000 - 1200 cc injectors, but when i do it will be a permanent switch so there will need to be many more servo's around with the stuff.

    • 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.
