ive just finished builing my new single turbo setup with a t04z use to have twin t517zs making 511 hp on 22 psi

with the to4z it makes 353kws at 15psi as soon as you wind the boost up fom 15 psi it stops making the power goes back wards its like its hitting a brick wall

afrs are 12

ignitons not breaking down was thinking the cams are to small or the standard plume and throttle bodys could be doing it any help would be appreciated thanks tim

cat/exhaust or wastegate?

the car has

no cat striaght pipe

three and a half inch from turbo back straight through exhaust

and a turbo smart 50mill pro gate

i think they should be up to the task

need some more info. What amount of ign timing? does the timing drop off very rapid once it hits the higher load point? Sounds like its running out of cam though. What specs are the cams. What comp ratio is the engine. etc.

Just throwing around some ideas.

the timing is about between 32 at 5000 and 20 at 9000 the cams are 260 by 9.15 and the comp is 8.3

possibly a boost/exhaust leak then? have you checked all your piping, vacuum hoses, exhaust flanges and the rest?

theres no leaks checked every thing in the leak department ive also done a compresion test today and they are all between 120 and 122

Have you dropped the exhaust from before the cat to be 100% certain?

Hmm. Sounds very odd. That turbo should be able to generate much more hp.

Any other mods done at the time of the turbo change or just the turbo change.

only the turbo gate and manifold and exhuast to cat all new and its also laggy compared to others on the forum should a t04z with a .82 split housing make 22 psi before 6000

Exhaust manifold design?

Where are the cams set also

the exhaust manifold is a 1.5 inch steam pipe equally length runner at 500 mill each and the cams are set to 0 on inlet and exhaust should such little cams be really lumpy

the manifold collector has to have all the runners peaked for good flow. How lumpy? will be a little lumpy.

Who is the tuner.

So many factors will cause lag.

Can give you the name of a really good tuner in the area, may be able to help you out

mark at mrc has been tuning it and he cant figure out why its not making power and why its so laggy he does a good job its lumpyer then the rb26/30 he tuned with 290 by 12 cams what do you mean by peaked

the car has no cat i dont run one as the car is a track car

I know that...

Well from where the "de-cat" pipe is, same spot, matters not... So i take it as a NO you have not tried the 10mins quick test to totally discount exhaust

All 6 runners merge into a peak and then into the turbo unlike some of them that have runners facing eachother.

Have you guys played with cam timing yet?

all the runner come to a point then into the turbo tryed playing with the timing on the old setup but didnt make much of a difference only moved the powerband around no gains from it whats the name of the tuner that you no thanks tim

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
