keen to hit you up on the offer of taking me for a spin and you can come in mine after to see the difference.

I will miss the induction of my twins tho lol

Ive replied to your PM.

Report all found!

Why only 11psi ?

The actuator we got is too soft, even with my EBC set to 100% the most we could get out of it was peaking 11.5 - 12psi... The fuel pump was failing giving some iffy a/f ratios so the whole tune is alot richer than it should be just to keep things safe, Ive got the fuel pump sorted out, just need a 12 - 14psi actuator and Ill go back in for a tune touch up.

It appears he's got fuel pump issues from previous reply.

Yeah, the pump was on its way out, it failed on the second day after I got the car home lean popping all over the place. Its got a GTR pump in there and Ive got a brand new 040 as backup incase. Also the actuator we're using atm is only a 7psi actuator and the most we could get from it was 11.5 with ebc @100%

We shall see how it fairs up :) Keep in mind what Ive said about the tune and what not, in a month or so I should be running it at full potential.

I have some Dyno updates on my ATR43 G2 with FNT upgrade.

My car for those who don't know

R34 GTT with unopened RB25DET NEO

Turbo as above

All supporting mods

running Caltex E-Flex

This is NOT professionaly tuned, The timing is slightly retarded from before the FNT run. I just touched up the AFR's

It feels amazing on the street! f**king LOVE the powerband!!!

I have also added this to my running upgrade plot.

NOTE: The FNT run was done on a different Dyno with slightly retarded timing. So a true comparison cannot be made.

The FNT feels like it looks here on the plot. Heaps better down low and through the mid range.

I'm starting to think that my Blitz CS return flow intercooler could be posing a restriction. But f**k it... It's so good to drive as is :)

piss off Pat, making me contemplate ripping the turbo off again for some FNT goodness....lol

bloody nice results man, very impressed.

Apparently Stao has an even better housing for the G3 turbo, but based on results shown you would be mad not to.

Such good value, as always.

Thanks for the feedback. Comparing the ATR43SS pagethe FNT affects on above dynosheet is identical.

Its more then just the few hundred rpms better in response. It changes the car's driving ability making it lot quicker in acceleration from standing and gear change.

To Add FNT nozzle into G3 housings cost $200 including return shipping.

All ATR43xx and PU high flowed units produced from 1/1/11 has FNT nozzle permanently casted into the turbine housing delivering better driving ability while not affecting top end power.

That graph looks f**king sexy man, I love the straight line 280+rwkw all the way. I just wish I didn't listen to my tuner about 17psi being too high. Feels like I wasted so much money on a tune that I wont be staying on for very long :( I see almost 23 - 24psi going through your turbo. Are you controlling boost at all? I'm sure with a nicer tune and controlled boost you could make a little more power out of a little less boost too.

That would be from boost controller, I found this boost creep and drop behavior happens to customers with return flow coolers. check hary's result pre and after cooler tests:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/261613-hypergear-hiflow-service-continued/page__st__1640__p__5772487#entry5772487

Yeah looking at Harey's boost plot I'm even more sure it's the return flow intercooler restricting getting more power out...

But yeah it feels amazing, I'm not too concerned about getting any more out :)

Finally got my ATR43SS1 installed. After a short consideration I believe its totally worth paying $250 for one of stao's mechanics to install it onsite and buy what ever stao recommends from him self.

So I end up getting:

5x 2mm thick cooper washers: $20

1x hard 3 inch intake pipe made from 2x 45 degrees silicon hoses and 1x 45 degrees steel pipe: $80

1x hypergear's Blow off valve (Its massive, not a toy). modified and fitted onto my cooler piping. : $150

1x milled out brass plate blocking off my old BOV. $20

I've also bought an additional low pressure actuator for $100 installed for time been till the car is at a tuning stage.

His Mechanic showed up at 2pm yesterday and the whole thing was finished around 6pm. We went for a quick drive, felt good and no leaks. Paid the mechanic and called that a day.

Not really sure if the new turbo needed of running in, so I went for a 100KM trip today. This turbo is very responsive, on road response is about identical to my factory turbo, and it also a light "Singggggggg" sound on light throttle.

Performance wise, the ATR43 has a very strong take off. For example at take off at traffic light in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear full throttle. The car would just launch, the power delivery is very linear from the first moment, and pulled harder and harder as it emerges red line. Like a smooth momentum with very strong and solid build up of power as engine revs out.

Drivability wise it's still very factory, with more power through out the whole rev range. My standard turbo in comparison just felt really flat after 4000RPMs.

The car's running about 9.5psi at moment on stock tune. Still waiting for few bits and pieces and I will post up my result once its fully tuned.

Money wise I spent on the turbo and installation plus hard intake pipe and custom bov fully installed so far is: $1970

The amount of time taken to install was bit over 4 hours including removing my factory turbo.

This is a brilliant turbo for a daily driver. Big thanks to Stao on the turbo plus the technical and mechanical support. Very happy . :cheers:

    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
