Also kasko, that result you were comparing your car to could be on a hub dyno and i think birds' result could have been a hub dyno as well, so keep that in mind.

The only true comparison would be to get the all on the same dyno. I wouldn't be worried too much about it to be honest

Edited by Mitcho_7

Bird's result was from an roller dyno and so's Peters. could be the tuner is conservative, different dyno, differences in the exhaust, cooler, or what ever it might be. Since my car's off the road I'll organize photos post up some progresses of the Turbocharged Kia sportage with high roll over risk project that we are half way through for bit of laughter.

just a quick question are do you guys use bellmouth or split front pipes?

This is my justification, if split dumps produced more power and better boost response, why would manufacturers produce bell mouth dumps?

Bellmouth = bigger = more flow.

Pretty simple. Sick of all this merging the gasses bullshit, either go bellmouth or man up and go the external gate. :)

Or both!? :woot:

Most splits are shit and cause more problems than they solve with wastegates jamming etc. Even if you get one to work properly it's purely a wank factor thing; imitation screamer pipe that sounds like ass. Bellmouth = don't look back.

My 258rwkw was on a roller dyno at Race Pace who certainly aren't known for having a happy dyno.

Peter's full boost at 3250 got me confused though...mine happens at around 3600-3700. I have a more restrictive setup with my catted exhaust and lack of a 3 inch metal intake, but I wouldn't think the response difference would be that great...unless you have an updated SS1PU? :S

Not all split dumps are vent to atmo.

cheers guys, ive had my car for about 8 months now and have done suspension etc so just starting to look at adding power, amperformance here in sa do very impressive looking split front pipes and was looking at getting one but he makes them in such a way that i dont think they would work with the hiflow which lead me to wonder if anyone was running one. will look into it more but atleast you guys have given me insight into which front pipe i should be looking at. :)

intake pipe makes abit of differences to response. here's one more result from a customer's R34 skyline running SS1PU. made 255rwkws @ 16psi with 2psi creep mid range. This car's also runs a return flow cooler that get abit hot. With a proper cooler at 20psi it should be getting pretty close result as my test car.

There has been a recent FNT angle update, might affect tinny bit in response but not power wise.

When will the FNT update be available Stao? I've been waiting for your next development to order a turbo so this might be good enough to make my wallet a bit lighter :)

Here's the interesting part...despite my full boost not coming on until a bit later...my power band is basically the same as Peter's and the above customer's...I make the same power at the same RPM points?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
