^^^ Agreed.

What are they doing Birds? Fit turbo, fab intake, tune car, there's a day. Why so slow?

He did have that issue with his injectors.

But... It's a workshop. A good workshop, from what I've heard. Good workshops are busy, even simple jobs take time.

Sorry guys, picked her up lastnight and have been busy since. RP were under the pump and down on employees, they have so many cars down there to finish lol.

R33 GTS-T (~150,000km)

Apexi pod filter

Yellow Jacket coil packs

3 inch turbo back

Blitz CS FMIC

Z32 AFM

Bosch 040

Nismo 555cc

Power FC + EBC kit

HG SS1PU custom (Nissan comp housing instead of ATR43)

258.6rwkw @ 16psi on Shell V-Power (98)

Second line is a slightly safer tune with some pulled timing and more fuel, making 252.4rwkw.

And that’s with:

An internal wastegate

Nissan comp housing for a standard looking turbo

Cat and Varex muffler (Varex supposedly costs you power, I disagree personally)

Return flow FMIC

Standard intake hose

Standard BOV

Comments: This all makes for a quick, responsive and standard looking street car. It is lovely to drive in daily traffic, better than standard. Stao warned me that I would be down on power due to the above restrictions, so I daresay there is potential for more in the top end and all over the place…but…my aim was to make it fast and keep it looking stock (see pics below) with a very safe tune. I think we’ve achieved all that! Thank you to Stao for a great turbo and Race Pace for an awesome tune.

Will be throwing the standard airbox in when I find it, so that the boys from the EPA “can’t touch this”. Oh and…stay tuned for E-flex :)

Good result Birds, is that pretty much what was expected? I'm not sure how the standard housings compare to the ATR housings, but 260rwkw seems like that's about right?

*EDIT* Same time post haha, sounds like you achieved what you wanted, well done man :) Gotta get this plenum and new fuel system done on my car and get it back on the dyno without the ECU problems now! :D

WOW. For such awesome results it is so surprising to see how basic your setup is.

I love the fact you did so well with the stock nissan comp cover, rubber intake and stock cooler piping! Those all would hold it back from maximum potential in my eyes, and you did really well!

Props to all involved!

Nice graph man, I see you still have the standard rubber intake.. Not sucking shut? Maybe 3-5rwkw to be gained there by going 3 inch metal..

Speaking from experience? ;)

Lol thats a pretty awsome result there birds, Looks so stock. I too would be worried about the rubber intake sucking shut though, with all that extra suction its creating now. At what psi is it getting 16psi?

I thought you mentioned sometime back that your $400 intake pipe got you approx 3-5kw? :P And your HKS sticker on it made it cool.

No no, the fact it exists makes it cool thumbsup.gif

I'm really looking forward to when (or if) you finally commit to modifications, it will be good to see how many corners you cut to make it cheap and how many times you will spend more money than you thought you would, as those of us who have actually done it can tell you it's going to happen. It's gonna be a real blast.

Speaking of things that actually happen, that reminds me; Birds didn't you say RP were making you a custom intake pipe???

Yep, well more than expected to be honest. It's not far off Stao's figure and there's plenty more that could be done to free up killerwasps. Tempted to venture down that path, but I reckon E85 will do much more for me and retain the stock appearance. Stao believes that the ATR comp covers flow slightly better than the Nissan covers...but they are roughly the same size so I was willing to give it a go.

Cheers man! Just wait for E-flex...visually it'll be no different, but the graph will be a different story!

Nah not sucking shut at this poundage. RP put a metal spring in there (similar to the GTR setup he said) which helps to keep it open...if it presents a problem down the track or when I tune on E-flex then I'll do the metal intake.

    • I might just check it out.. A Q among all those skylines.. lol
    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
