made 400.6hp atrw today on 15 close to 16psi 47deg!!!!!!!

tryed 18psi coils were breaking down.... time for spit fires.....

also was close to running out of fuel up top with a sard intank pump and 720cc sard inj....

so were going to rewire the fuel pump with bigger wires and put in a relay

also thinking about a fuel reg? or should the stock one be fine?

still makes power at 8500rpm stock cams!!

yeah that will be the problem do you have a link for the fI guild mate?

ill also change the fuel filter.... still has enough fuel now, but there was no room for more fuel up top as it was starting to run out....

but dose it pull hard up top end!!!! power never drops off just picks up more and more :thumbsup:

still comes on around 4700 5 but makes up for it up top and the extra revs!

more boost will be crazy!

and down low its still just as nice to drive say 4000rpm under..... tuned helped alot still makes boost at say 3000rpm few psi so its not like a lag no bottom end power car! :P

FI Guide - is the stick topic @ the top of this section... along with the dyno result ones mate :P

Tells you what to do, its fairly straight forward and even i would be confident doing it as the DIY is very good.

I think there is also another DIY thread (in the DIY section) on top of the FI Guide DIY link :thumbsup:

In those kind of ambient temps your fuel temps may well have been over 65 degs on the dyno - which can cause the fuel pump to drop pressure and or flow.

I commonly see this issue on queensland dynos where the room temps are up around 40degs. Its just those bloody southern tuners dont have a clue how much difference ambient temps makes to eninge tuning!!!

yeah still in the process

im pulling the emanage out and have got Nistune installed now

things move pretty slow up here didnt you see that lol

are you saying the ambient temps made a huge difference Trent or not alot ???

Ive always thought that they would make an extreme difference to tuning

turned it back a bit and added some more boost 17 psi same dyno as the 285kw run put out 336rwkw

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo :-D

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
