I would be interested to see inside the bore, and perhaps the plugs tips if they are still there. I too noticed the dint in the backing shield, dare I say Det damage? It looks like it's been blasted by hot metal particles.

Can a turbo perform better on a dyno than on the road?Like could two turbos that makes 250rwkw with the similar power curve get totally different results on the road.

I think what's happening is we are making the power but have a lot of lag between gears. On a dyno you're loading it up in 4th,so you don't see the difference between gears, but at the strip it makes a huge difference.

Now that I have the gopro hooked up I might test this and record the time to build boost back up.

I was completely oblivious until Stao rang me about it. The plugs were fine, the motor doesnt miss a beat and I havent seen any oil being burnt.

Unless some of my valves or pistons are missing chunks and somehow continue to run, i was thinking maybe some slag or something has come away from within my exhaust manifold and caused this.

The launch control probably doesnt do the turbine any favours either. :whistling:

Wait I thought this was stock manifold, what manifold is it for slat to let go?

I ask because ive seen a known brand manifold do this to a kando recently.

I met you at a trackday a while back.

Wasnt yours the car with the bolt-ons from another car (turbo, intake manifold, injectors etc etc) as well as the ECU. But the ecu was tuned for those mods of the bolt ons in the other car and you hadnt bothered to get it tuned again to your car, you just hooked it and and went from there.?

If so then some decent DET might have been occurring methinks...

Sorry you have me confused for someone else. I have an ATR43G3, standard plenum, nismo 550's and ViPec ECU.

I don't know about 115mph, but 106mph is way low for ~250wkw. Quite an odd pattern forming!

Thats stagea kw for mph..

I'm a bit lost, but most of the cars that have run the drags so far , are the ones that had problems on the dyno

anyway i thought, so i don't see a clear picture yet, Stao should go

cheers

Was going to say that - my Prelude needed around 130kw to pull 96-98mph trap speeds and weighed ~1330kg as raced, must be an ultra low reading dyno to do 97+ with a "130kw" 300ZX.

I'd hope for over 98mph with 200kw in an R33 too, though.

That's what the dyno read and that's what i'm going off. I'd rather have the low reading dyno number and a good trap speed than the other way around.

    • Hi All,    I have my BW EFR 8474 with a T4 split 1.05 rear housing. Rear housing is ceramic coated and drilled and tapped for EMAP take off.  Supported 520awkw at 35psi through the 8HP with ~5k rpm spare on the BW 127k limit. Ran a 9.98.    Turbo is one of the first that was released but only done ~3k kms.    Asking $2800 happy to negotiate. Only selling to upgrade.   Located Gladstone QLD happy to ship. 
    • Hi is the Toshiba sceeen still available?
    • Just wondering how come the hood was grinded down? 
    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is 2050 rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve very quickly and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. (I edited this from a previous version where I stated 80km/h was <2000, but that was a false memory. If I am rolling at ~1700 in 5th and floor it, it will start making boost before it goes over 2k - which is a separate "experiment" leading to the same conclusion. Which is that the boost threshold is actually quite low. It's not fast there, obviously, but it certainly makes progress towards going fast, which is not what it's been like for a long while!!) Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
