I reckon so too..... all these hippies should head to the strip and at LEAST break a 12 second pass with the power they're pumping out....

*sigh*

This is the first Sunday since having my car back, and I'm going to the drift day, not the drags. I'll go to the drags as soon as as buy some tyres capable of some traction.

can anyone answer my question?

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?

Ask steve @ sst. I wont be going down the drags till I have the wolf3d in and tuned. Dont see the point in going until the car's setup right, plus my tyres are hitting about 12 months in age, although not completely lacking in tread I'm sure they wont be as good as new ones but I'll still give them a try. I think my stock ecu is ****ed, in the mornings (cold or not) the car searches up and down, sometimes to the point of stalling but doesnt quite and then finally settles on about 1500rpm till it warms up and then sits around 650rpm, sometimes the car idle is lumpy too, but I think thats spark plug related.

I need some sticky tyres then I'll run down the plex. If any nice person wants to lend me some then I'll test my car out:D

Mine does that. Grant told me what it was. Can't remember now, something is a little out of calibration. Computers not f#cked.

Mine does the hunting thing too on cold startup every now and then.. I find a tap of right foot seems to sort it out pronto tho..

[rev210]

The AFM can cause the 'hunting', just clean it. Usually happens to cars with oil based filters (K&N).

[caminperth]

It's only on cold startup though - so I'm not too worried.. Thanks for the tip tho..

Any ideas when I can use those tickets you gave me rev?

[macka]

Robbie i dont think you will reduce your lag marginally with an exhaust manifold change

Your kidding yourself, the ex housing is too big and the efficiancy range is way off what boost your stock internals can handle

Im guessing 100rpm better spoolup with the manifold. maybe 100 rpm more with the tuned computer but even that is optimistic

down the drags you poofs

[MrSnrub]

Macka mate ill see you down the drags in a few weeks time hopefully when i have a car. Chop chop!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

LOL @ Macka, I see your an expert at sizing turbo's now, so far your record ain't too good:p

[macka]

Gday Ben

lol chop chop i heard your looking at an R

Is that all you can say pwptf?

my record isnt so good?

what r u on about mate?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Talking about a bigger turbo that makes less than a factory turbo and compressor surge:p

[macka]

I was talking about exahust manifolds and exhaust housings turdburglar

At "The Clink" in freo, this friday night. Event starts at 10pm goes to 1am or so. I may or may not be presiding over part of the nights event, subject to my wife being there.

Macka, The exhaust housing is part of the turbo:p

[caminperth]

Rev - if the flu lets me go I'll be going along.. will be dragging Al along for some witty comentary

The stock internals are pretty strong, the problem is the RB25 compression is a tad too high to start with.

Rob's got a 'cadbury turbo', a bar and a half of full boost.....
