Reading all this has got me thinking that i should try to get my turbos on before this event so i can get over the 300kw mark aswell. I'll make some calls tomorrow and see what i can organise :)

yeh come join the 300rwkw club Chad....lol

Just buy a heap of G size bottles... and while the import cars are running, open all the bottles into the dyno cell - extra power and a nice relaxed and cheerful mood for everyone :D It might cause a fire, but that just makes it easier to cook the BBQ food.

Ken/PIMPED, 400rwkw using 550cc Sard injectors... that's what i call pushing the limit!

I'm going to do my best to make it to this dyno day, as it sounds really interesting. It'll also be interesting to do a rough comparison (power curve, peak values, turbo response etc.) with my own dyno runs on Shaun's dyno - there's about 90+ of them saved on the thing ha-ha.

I might even have the tuning finished by then and could try and help bolster the import figures - I 'may' be able to offer low 300's at the rears - best of 302rwkw so far. It might squeeze out 315-320ish once the cams are set-up and a few more pounds wound in.

What we - the import team - really needs is for Darren's R31 to be up and running - 550rwkw would help push the total up nicely.

yeah im abit worried bout that atm, going to 1000cc soon, but i hope the 550cc will hold out for 400, fingers crossed anyway, but it makes 300 with easy, fuel is running really rich atm, was told rich enough to get almost 400rwkws with but i would be pushing it, i dunno, ill get it on the dyno and see what we can do, and the remap of the 32 ecu is wicked, better then my power fc in my old 33

Nitrous oxide is not flammable.

Correct. Oxygen is nonflammable too. However, what these gases are very good at is supporting explosive combustion, all they need is an ignition source and a saturated concentration - think dyno cell full of G size bottles opened fully and then add a red hot manifold. I'll be the one standing over the road :P

Next time you're at the drags and you see someone purge their nitrous system, don't stick your head near the stream of purged N20 smoking a cigar... unless you want to look like Micheal Jackson :O

I guess it depends on how 'real' those 400rwkw are, if you get my drift. To safely support a genuine 400rwkw you are going to to be pushing well beyond the safe level for 550cc injectors. I wouldn't risk it. Wait till you get the 1000's in.

just grab some NOS and spray it into the intercooler MRVLT style.

hahah yeah that was the funniest thing to see on the autosalon dyno

they could have just used fire extinguisher

it would have done the same job lol

even funnier the power figures didnt really improve though lol

Using LOX (liquid oxygen) would 'kind of' work nicely at externally snap cooling the intercooler :)

I can't recall the exact LOX temp off the top of my head (- a few hundred 'c) cryogenic freezing temp's that's for sure. It also has an expansion rate of 600ish to 1, as in 1L of LOX = 600L of gaseous oxygen. So watchout when it reaches a source of ignition! Great for speeding up the BBQ cooking times, it'll cook snags in microseconds, then melt the BBQ and burn a nice hole in the ground under it :)

Anyway, back to the dyno day conversation. Any info' on the domestic entries?

hey buddy who did u get to remap your 32 ecu??

jeff at turbotune, did a good job, isnt cheap for most people though, lol, also i wont be boosting her up anymore, keep her at 300rwkws, 550s wont hold out, it will lean out to much, 20 psi is pushing it with them, so 16 psi will have to do, will still be in the 300rwkw club though, if there is such a thing? lol, hope to see u all there

Good move mate, as it's just not worth taking the risk. Get those bigger squirters in there first, then you can crank up the boost safe in the knowledge the fuel system can support it.

We are both at a similar point actually, as I'm just about to upgrade to a new set of 780cc injectors in my 33 - my 550's are no longer up to the task... especially for E85.

so urhhhhh what are you going to be doing with the 550cc injector? :O

Ha-ha, yep, I'll be selling them. However, one potential problem. I have a custom top-feed fuel rail, which means my 550's won't suit the OEM RB25DET rail.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
