I like the pic with the chick on the bike. It straight away grabs my attention. Good history brushing :stupid:

But really harsh sun light and shadows. Would like to see shots of that series however.

Now the black cars such as the audi and honda are way to dark and lacking any detail.

Esp the audi shot. I noticed your hi ISO for that shot so im assuming you didnt have a tripod?

If thats the case perhaps go to a more lit area?

Some really harsh reflections on some of the other shots like basti has mentioned. Perhaps take the pictures later on in the day or get a circular polarizer filter.

Im in no way bagging out your work, but giving my honest opinion for improvements that i feel will help in time round.

But you dont have to listen to me either :)

Yeah i was thinking the same as Sidd about the darker car photos.

This may just be me (and in no way am i an expert..in fact have no idea about taking photos)

However the commodore photos look too digital..if that makes any sense...like it doesn't look like a photo...looks like a cgi image or something

Damn that's a bit harsh.

The dark Audi photo is a little too dark for my liking but I can see where you are going with it.

Do you have any other photos of the first car?

From the rear light it looks to me to be a new model Toyota Celica but I've never seen that wide arch kit before.....

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Never an issue with boost control. No weird boost issues pre throttle at partial throttle like you're suggesting. It worked.   As for all the turbo damage claims, they all were started by aftermarket BOV companies. At least turbo timer companies had SOME truth about them, except people failed to realise that except for in extreme circumstances, that small amount of driving you do to park/ through pit lane etc, is enough to not have a need for a turbo timer.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      I tell people all the time this stuff runs on a 2 MHz 8-bit MCU. The math is a bit arcane, they do a lot to get around their limited resolution and so on but it works great as-shipped. So if an 80 to 160 MHz modern 32-bit MCU can't make it work you've really screwed something up badly. Your average graphing calculator is faster these days, god forbid we start talking about what's hiding in vapes or some stupid internet-connected "smart appliance".  I suspect the lore about off-throttle surge damaging turbos must be very, very old if it was ever true. I still don't think off throttle surge is good for turbos because you're rapidly having air going in and out of the turbo on top of rapid loss in shaft speed which presumably does impart some kind of unusual load on the rotating assembly. As for the recirculating valve, I believe Nissan actually in a press slide deck of some kind explained for the RZ34 they found it improved response. Prior to that they kept the throttle cracked open instead which causes rev hang and because the throttle/engine is a substantial restriction a ton of the energy in the air stream is lost just to pumping past it. Recirculating helps reduce energy loss by bringing the intake side of the compressor up in pressure so it's not working as hard to pull air in. In DCT cars where they can slam gears I believe Porsche hangs the throttle wide open with no fuel injection to keep turbo RPMs as high as possible during the shift. As for running post-throttle boost source, I would be concerned that at partial throttle on boost you would have driveability issues. It would be constantly trying to run crazy amounts of boost before the throttle to compensate for the throttling effect. Maybe with a much more sophisticated boost control setup you could activate a solenoid that goes from a conventional 3-port setup to something that allows the wastegates to see full vacuum in that specific case?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Did you clean everything out? Take all intercooler piping off, empty the intercooler of oil, clean the exhaust out, etc? Intercoolers make great catch cans... Which makes them less useful for intercooling... But very worth cleaning out, along with all adjoining piping.

      Update Got turbo back from hypergear, installed everything etc. Bled coolant, wasn't smoking so I thought beauty she's sorted now. Went on a drive, car up to temp, let it idle for about 15 seconds, gave it some gas...nice puff of smoke again. Fml No doubt my turbo was pretty worn anyway but nonetheless frustrating that the problem persists.
