Interesting to see that he could only make similar ~280rwkw as well whereas on your car and others it has made 300rwkw+. Wonder what is/was holding them back.

Note he was only running 18psi, I made 289rwkw@18psi on my hub dyno run, so quite similar. I believe Stao on his 320rwkw run was boosting to 23psi? In any case, I'd say you will need to run at least 20psi to crack the 300 mark on pump 98.

Yup can see the improvement there. Also the hit of boost is slightly smoother so would give the tyres a bit more chance of holding on with the FNT.

E85 & more boost, gogo

Nope, Stao made 305rwkw with the exact same turbo I had and was only running 18psi also.

See how my boost is dropping to 15.5psi. No matter what I did to raise the boost it would drop back to 15.5psi. So no point in increasing it for it then to drop off up top.

More midrange punch

There is an adjustment on the back of the turbo, you can adjust the creep amount with an allen key. Stao can give you advice to doing this.

I think the outcome is that you will boost higher up top than down low, but thats not really an issue if you just turn the boost down to suit

Oh are you talking about the PU high flow? I was referring to the G3.

Got a graph of Stao's run? I can only find the one where he made 295@18psi with that turbo.

Yeah true I just dont like the feeling of torque dropping off.

Hmmm havent heard of that?? Any more details? We tried all the studs to reduce the size of the wastegate path to hopefully increase boost up top but couldnt do it. I think my intercooler could have been restrictive.

Yeah talking about the PU high flow. Sorry your right Stao made 295rwkw on 18psi and 305rwkw on ~21psi.

there are two alen keys next to the flapper, did you try those?

it could be that you are getting so much volume through the mid range that you cap it out early and cant do anything about it.

either way your results are already good lol

It wouldn't be dropping off any more than it is now, I guess the slope would be steeper, but you'd still have more power/torque under the curve.

The torque curve was pretty wide on mine and abes. It Might have some thing to do with his return flow cooler. Thats the one went burning hot after 1 run and took 3 mints to cool.

Is that correct? Hareys cooler got hot after just 1 run?

If so you should definitely change that mate, that would be holding you back a long way.

You talking about my old intercooler Stao? Didnt know it was that bad? Anyway I changed to an ARC return flow when I changed to the SS1 turbo. So unfortunately cant directly see the difference, except Trent said after 15+ dyno runs the temps were excellent.

Not Jeffs. The other car with the G3 has a made in china return flow that went burning hot after 1 run and took agers to cool. Buy the cross over ones like mine with a decent 600x300x75mm core. That gives the best performance.

Tao, I wanna come past tomorrow and talk to you about high flows / get you started on one for me, as I'm biting the bullet on getting one. When is a good time?

Highflow? Get a SS1.5 PU. Be a man. Do da right fing.

After talking to Tao and testing his car, we've arrived at an SS1PU highflow as my choice. Stock looking compressor housing with modest power and hopefully only a little laggier than the standard turbo. Was very impressed with the Taomobile's power, the thing just wants to eat gutters above 4500rpm in any gear, but it's a bit laggy for my liking and daily driving. Can't remember what turbo he had fitted, but I'd rather more useful power and hopefully the SS1PU fits that bill. Will post results when I get installed and tuned :thumbsup:

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
