So i couldnt help myself and i have spent more cash. Being delivered to me today are some ARP head studs, until now its only ever had stock head studs, and some Tomei cam cap studs, ours are really old and have been in and out a lot over the years, so i reckon they are pretty close to be stuffed.

Also very seriously considering all the flex fuel set up to keep it all in check. Would get is installed but tuned later when the bank balance recovers a bit more. At least i would have the digital read out

Chasing 550rwkw now so will also get Unigroup to put some proper E85 in the tank as opposed to E-Flex and see if we can crack it.

Its only money isnt it

499kw :whistling:

tell me about it :(

Probably why its in hp and not kw's, i know i wouldnt want to see 499kw :( Oh so close to the 500kw mark ;)

Only needs another degree of timing surely!!!!!

So we went in for a quick look over of AFR's and boost control after switching to a new exhaust manifold and rear housing with V band entry and the monster spat out another 60hp. It was not expected. We did go to a slightly bigger rear housing. 1.01a/r vband entry from the old t3 .82 split pulse. Boost increased by 2psi also.

Not bad for a GT35r :)

Impressive - what kind of "GT35R" is it, run of the mill Garrett GT?

How many extra rpm is full boost with the new housing, do you have an old graph to post up?

When you say another 60hp, is that at wheels or flywheel?

Also what engine and head you using?

It's a garrett GT35r that MTA (Mr Turbo Aus @ Gold Coast) rebuilt and put his billet compressor wheel into. Its proving to be quite potent so far. Its pushing some serious flow at low pressures. On the old manifold and housing which was split pulse T3, it made about 600rwhp on 21psi. That was with the 0.82 rear which was clearly too small and choking the crap out of the engine. We just put a Modena 6 Speed Sequential box in it to replace the dead PPG gearset. Now with the sequential box, the IGN cut for flat shift has been killing the turbo gaskets!

So you see we went to v-band manifold and housing to improve reliability and in turn it made another 60rwhp. Most likely, purely because we went up in size with the rear housing, which also increased the boost by 2 psi no doubt due to less back pressure.

The engine is a Spool 3.4 Stroker with a 25 head. The lag difference was pretty well nothing. I'm not sure if I have an old dyno graph with old setup around. I will look for it though. The extra power was at the wheels too.

I am too scared to measure back pressure in the manifold...big cubes(for an RB) and small turbo, im confident the EBP will be spectacular.

Hopefully I covered everything!

Sounds like a nice set up.

How many extra rpm to hit full boost?

Looks nice and responsive! Is it 4.11 ratios with relatively normal sized tyres?

Just trying to get a rough gauge of road speed vs rpm

Not sure if there was any difference in rpm to achieve full boost. We were using the data logs in the ecu to determine most of everything and it looked to be much the same. To compare if anyone was interested, I am pretty sure the data log said we were making 15psi around 3200rpm and 23psi around 3600rpm.

The diff ratio is 3.7. We did runs in a few different gears to see if there was any difference as this gearbox 1:1 is 6th gear. Difference was pretty well bugger all, about 5-10 horsepower with much the same curve everywhere. I was expecting it to be alot different. I guess because the ratios are so close for 4/5 and 6th gear it ended up much the same.

The tires were 641.7mm diameter roughly. Rolling circumference 1953.13mm. I was working it out backwards this morning to see what it was roughly in engine rpm.

Yeh the methanol helps, but it also helps keep the temps under control. Plus it's cheap. Took a little while to nut out a good fuel system that can handle the methanol reliably. The mechanical fuel pump works a treat!

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
