Running 12lb boost, LT12 computer - just over 303hp at the wheels !! ;) I am very happy with that.

It is a GTS-t. My mechanic installed an air temp sensor today and change the adjustable cam gear. Went from 264.3rwhp to 303.1 rwhp with just those changes.

It is idling a bit high though. Do the new microtechs cause the car to idle higher than the stock computer? I am idling at about 1000->1200rpm !! I am going to speak to bloke tomorrow.

should be able to change the idle via the LT12. The mechanical changes probably effected the idle settings, no major issue to adjust back

I am currently running a 500hp Garret Ball raced Turbo. (but at only 12lb boost)

The only other mods I have are...

Large Front Mount intercooler

LT12 Microtech

Variable cam gear

descent exhaust (but nothing spectacular)

custom dump pipe

Iridium sparks

carbon clean (everyone who gets a carbon clean gains about 5rwkw)

good tune !

Hmm, that turbo's just a tad bigger than mine. The biggest difference between your car and mine is the ECU and the cam gear. I think the cam gear has to be the next mod for mine because I can't afford a new ECU :)

I place in Toowoomba has a carbon clean.

My mates '86 Brock Commodore got 5rwkw. Another guy's skyline got 6rwkw. I don't know what I got as mine was done when I got the new turbo/sparks etc.

186rwkw if pretty damn good for those mods. Youy must have a good tuner as well.

Nice results gjb977 !!

Tell me more about this Carbon Clean..

Whats it do?

Where does it go?

How much does it cost?

:)

What does an Ex Cam Gear cost to be installed and tuned (roughly) ? They are quite a cheap mod it seems:

Apexi: $142

HKS: $153

OS Giken: $293

Tomei: $199

Trust: $171

I love these cheap mods with slight power increases, the type of mods that many people skip and jump straight in for the big turbo's etc. (JimX maybe we could order 2 cam gears and have em installed/tuned at the same time/place)

I'm currently at 272 rwhp and confident that with some small mods ($$) I can crack 280 rwhp from my basic setup.

Hey Frankie not bad power for the mods you have :)

I'll get the info re the carbon clean from my mechanic (more like an engineers workshop) and post the info tomorrow. All I know is the solution so that expensive he keeps it in a safe.

He's done so many qick cars it's not funny. (including a 9.6sec Cortina) (mainly does commodores though)

he made the adj cam gear out of my stock gear. (only had one done) - this is alot cheaper than buying 'name' brand ones.

Interesting... do you know the costs involved to get this done?

The HKS has come down in price by 25% in the last 3mths which I have had my eye on and is looking pretty nice at this stage (both price wise and physically looking).

this is a before and after. only difference being boost was raised from say 0.7bar to 1.0bar.

its hard to say what difference the powerfc made on top of the boost gain, but when I first installed the FC i remember the torque was raised like 50newtons across the whole rev range.

the car definately felt alot more torquey down low. up top there wasn't that much difference, maybe just under 10rwkw gain?

but it all comes down to the tuner. its hard to go past the FC because of its plug & play features and sydney workshops/tuners are getting alot better at them now (c&v for instance). so there'll be an abundance of knowledge around...

I'm not quite sure the difference between your car and benm's but shouldn't you be getting more the same kw's as benm. You are nice and lean so what do you think the diiference is as the HPI R34 has also 1 bar and 202rwkw's, i ask as i am about to get my car tuned and expect to get nealy 200rwkw?

      Max horse power stock internals?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      IMO I would stop there but it's up to you. At the power numbers you're asking about the stock 05U block will start showing issues. Even an N1 block might not be enough. PRP is trying to do blocks and heads that will be ready for big power right out of the gate but it remains to be seen whether any of that is any good. It might be great. It might be awful. It's hard to say until enough people have gotten their hands on one and run it for extended periods.

      Found a issue, after driving through torrential rain, the drivers side roof drain is blocked and some water ended up in the boot I've parked it up, stripped out the boot, and dried it out with a towel Initial fix was poking a big long cable tie down the drain to unblock it, then poured some hot water and detergent into it to flush out what I could, which now has it working, but I'm assuming it needs a good old fashioned proper "rogering" of the drain holes    Next step is waiting for the trombone cleaner that I just ordered from FleaBay next week Luckily nothing made it into the interior and it is all drying out nicely and the roof drains are working well enough for now I found the same issue with my old NB when I first got that, a couple of broken down leaves and some dirt was enough to block the drains, I did have a trombone cleaner back then, but I cannot find it anywhere, although, going of other times when I buy something to replace something I cannot find, the old one will probably turn up any minute now
