[APA]

i'm sure they would wanna rebuild the engine adam, but they'd rather wait till the engine blows to rebuild i spose??

I bought my turbo because it was cheap, cheaper than a smaller internal wastegate turbo.

[Guest KILLER-T]

Be carefull my engine died at just under 300rwhp i didnt even know it had happend untill i was doing a oil change and noticed alot of oil in places it shouldnt of been.

PS good work GTS-t VSPEC and rob77 with the power figures

[rob77]

I heard your engine died due to tuning issues killert.

[Guest KILLER-T]

Well im glad someone knows what happend to it because i dont it might of been the tune it could of been me thrashing it to much or it might of been the usless shop that did my first cooler.I couldnt point the finger at anyone i would of liked to but im still not 100% sure why it died.All i know is it cost alot to get fixed

[rob77]

Well before I do my tune, I'm gonna pull my injectors out get them cleaned and flow tested. Then do a leakdown/compression test on the engine to see if there are any problems, then we'll tune it

Hey rob, I'm lookin for 350 at the wheels with stock internals but am a bit worried. How long you been runnin 344?

[rob77]

Its running about 322 at the moment, as soon as we put the bosch 910 pump in it richened up the top end of the fuel map again So far the turbo's been on for 3 weeks, maybe 4 weeks now... havent had any issues, pulls like an ox, until the feel the stock ecu pulling the timing out and retarding and then dumping in a heap of fuel. I cant wait to get the wolf3d in, it will make such a difference, go for a ride in paul's car thats a monster, breaks traction so easily and pulls nice and hard. Steve at sst reckons 350hp @ treads is fine for the stock internals, just make sure you service it regularly... but with that sort of power you can be living on borrowed time, its not like our engines are spring chickens... mine is 8-9 years old now and coming up to 85,000km's.

[rob77]

Oh if you want 350hp at the wheels I'd go the same way as paul with the tubular manifold and the GT30. His exhaust housing is tiny compared to mine, but it makes good HP on 13-14psi... you dont want to run high amounts of boost on the stock internals, best if you can keep it under 1 bar or 15psi.

[Hicks]

Well grant is gonna be doin my turbo and hes pretty convinced that 350 is very easily possible with stock manifold and lowish boost. I'll be getting my wolf in the next week or so. Lookin forward to it. My car is runnin stock boost nd ecu at the moment. F#ck its slow!!

[rob77]

Mate I'm still running the stock manifold, so it wont be an issue. I reckon get a GT30 with a wastegate attached to the exhaust housing like mine bolt it onto the stock manifold. It will be laggier than paul's cos of the manifold but it will cut your costs by about $1200-$1400 dollars. Mine makes max boost by 4600rpm, it isnt a lag monster, but it aint like a stock turbo either

[adam 32]

when are u gettin full boost paul?

[Hicks]

4600 is fairly laggy though. I've been told that I can have a turbo capable of 350 but still be responsive.

Anyways, Im pissed now and about to head to freo, so i'll see yas later.

[rob77]

I think paul's is making full boost by 4000rpm.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah, full boost at 4000ropm, but we've taken timing out to limit the power, so I'd expect it to spool sooner when we can give it a more aggressive tune.

I'm definately doing the internals ASAP, but finances need to replenish.

Killer, Thanks mate, I'm happy with the result, and excited about what it will do with internals, cams and more boost:D

[N I B]

People that want a good upgrade on a standard motor running

300rwhp should look at a 25/30 HKS bolton or a 25/40 to do it easy.Pauls car has a soft ignition map and lots of fuel so i think

if the motor is in good condition it will last but he wants more so a build is the only way to go.

[adam 32]

how would you bring boost on earlier with a more agressive timing curve? surely it will still flow the same amount of exhaust gas therefore the turbo will always spooll at 4K?

[rob77]

you can almost get 300hp form the stock turbo, so I feel a hks 2530/2540 or garrett turbo is a waste of time.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

The race to do internals is on, can't have Rob beating me;)

[rob77]

It'll be 12 months before I do internals, unless I have to.
