who is this toshi guy?

does he have a workshop/website or does he work from home??

http://grapevine.com.au/~marzenna/

He's on the forum, just PM him (his name is Toshi on the forum as well). No workshop, but he has a wideband sensor and knock microphone....

^ hahah that rhymes.

Yea i thought that website mrkotter posted up didnt look familiar at all..

Plus the site looks old too..

Toshi, im going to get my car on the dyno tomorrow!!

I will send you a pm with my dyno figures..

If anyone else has any questions feel free to ask..

yes..

another think i'm abit worry..

how fast do u have to drive ur car for the tuning? are there any cops around? cause i don't wanna drive like 80/90kms in the 40 zone (don't have many points left lol). did u do it on the back road or highway..

i'm gonna get mine done next week.

cheers

Ford

I drove on the highway which is a 80 zone.

Few times you take it to redline in 2nd gear.. But you drive normally testing out each gear!!

Like 5th gear up the hill going at 80..

Once initial map is done and tuned, then you go to the freeway which is a 110 zone and test out third gear to nearly redline.

I did mine over double demerits, so you should be fine lol..

But yea be careful of cops..

hahah thanks drew!!

I know you recommened me this about an year ago!! lol

Well i was leaning towards the power fc and i did end up buying it.. But far out it costs soo much to tune and the power fc itself..

I saved myself 1.5k and the remap does the same thing (for stage 1 type mods anyways)

Edited by siddr20

he can remap with bigger turbos, but i guess power fc will be more effective to fine tune things..

But im not gonna go past stage1..

I was power hungry, but im planning to go europe end of year once uni is finally over!! So will need money for that lol

Then next year, start working full-time and save up for a better car plus house :thumbsup:

Well got it on the dyno today..

196.2kw at 10psi

Theres something wrong with my 22dollar bleed valve lol..

I remember at the remap i was trying to increase it, but the guage just wouldnt go past 0.7 bar.

But the car felt a lot more powerful, so thought perhaps my 300dollar guage was faulty lol.. or a leak!!

Anyways on the dyno, it still showed boost at 10psi.

I reckon with 12psi it would be easily 200kw plus

But im happy with my results..

Nope :)

Might go back tomorrow and see if they can still print it out for me?

or perhaps do one run for me for free and check it. But they said it seemed fine.

They gave me another graph with Torque figures (Nm) on the side??

At 130kw, it read as 4500 - top peak

NO idea what that means!!

Edited by siddr20

yeh my dyno dynamics printouts read torque in newtons rather then foot/pound. Although maybe its just set that way.

anway it would be interesting to see how flat your afr's are

Looks like theres more left in that top end too

This is sounding like a hell of a good option for me lol... Only problem is I'm in ACT... Might have to organise a trip to Sydney.

How do you think it'd go on a 33 GTST with a front mount, cat back and a planned boost increase to 9-10psi?

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
