You'll also note that the top end is only running 10psi. The boost drop off in the top end is common with standard turbochargers when pushed hard and can be overcome with a better boost controller.

Seems like an EBC is the way to go.

are we straying off topic?

maybe?

nah...not us

I saw all the extra replies thinking "Awesome. Topic has really kicked off" But nope, I was wrong lol

BTW, Happy Bday Dr DiRT!!! :(

Cheers guys.

whats the difference again?

but both mean the same as they are a clear sign of homosexual tendencies. :(

what's funny is how many people would actually believe him and fork out cash only for him to fit it and wind some timing into it and get a better result...He's happy he's got his cash and the customer is happy but none the wiser of his easy earnings.

yup ping is power.... obviously.

I'm sorry. Forgiveness PLEASE!!! :(

It's not your fault, mate. At the risk of sounding on-topic, your car is making the right horsepower for the mods you've got but there are two things you need to do to make it a much, much better/faster/more pleasant car to drive.

Step 1/ Sack your bleed boost controller and go buy a Turbosmart Eboost II

Step 2/ Sack your tuner. They may be competent but they're completely full of shit.

A quality EBC will bring the boost on early and keep it there.

A quality tuner will make sure your engine lives once you do the above.

Good luck, mate.

Thanks 2rismo!!

I'll look into an eBoost II once the funds permit me to. As for the tuner, I'll have a chat with him about getting those AFRs and see where I go from there.

Cheers again mate.

Now, back to the off-topic war...

ADMINISTRATORS vs MODERATORS: Battle of the homosexuals In Green :(

Although my power curve is more agressive then this. Maybe my turbo has been high flowed?

Mate all you have to do is press a button and change the scale to look a bit more agressive, look at the RPM and power to compare.

yes Ping is Power according to some.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
