What brand of mufflers were they, Johnny?

X Force lol.. and the rear is Fujitsubo, will piss the lot off after the new turbo setup

Thanks all (Stao included) It goes for a retune early next year for e85 so I'll get it looked at then. What are the options for a more free flow exhaust? Would decat see some gains? Does anyone know how PWR compares to Plazmaman?

big dump down pipe ano no cat is best... easily gain 10kW with no cat

Hi stao.

Are you saying the new prototype 21u high flow is making 287rwkw with the return flow inter cooler on pump 98? If so that is good to here.

When will it be available??

Thanks

No, I've made 290rwkws on an ATR45SAT SRFC model, that was engineered to max out my Blitz cooler kit. That one is available.

21U high flow was using an PWR cooler, you will likely be seeing that making 250rwkws region on a return flow kit.

Mad, I'm glad you and I both reproduced the same results. Anyway to get a bit less lag Stao?

It looks like you are reaching 20psi by 120KM/H which is 4280RPM. This is a fairly large size turbo, can use BB CHRA which will get 100 RPM better in response, and having a 600x300x100mm FMIC can pickup some response also. Its making 20psi at 4000RPM on my R34. I'm working on a different turbine wheel at moment. I see if I can pickup the same amount of power with better response.

Thanks Stao, I'd love to see your results.

Have you come across the A/c drain hitting the dump pipe in any of your tests? Mine melted (completely missed it when fitting the turbo) so I chopped it but I'm worried the a/c drain will drip on the dump pipe now and crack it or atleast cause a lot of steam.

Took a short video about our Internal wastegate assembly operation that is currently fitted to all ATR43xx turbochargers as well as some of the high flows:

I've read quite a bit about the Blitz Return flow coolers and how the kits pose restrictions - from your investigations it seemed as if the conclusion was the cooler core was the issue with such a large pressure drop? I like the idea of the return flow piping utilising standard pipes in bay, if a 600x300x76 decent cooler such as plazmaman or pwr were to be used with custom piping similar to that of the blitz kits (potentially even the same size piping), is it safe to say this would be similar to say the set up you currently have in your 34?

I'm considering using the blitz kit for now until a turbo upgrade (down the track) then swapping out for a better cooler and having the blitz piping altered to suit. I eventually want a tad over 300rwkw on 98 but just want a nice easy cooler for the mean time.

Thanks for reading.

Along same vein but back to the 21u high flow on the r34. With return flow max around 250rwkw with the return flow. However, running e85 would that net you around 270rwkw due to the advantages re. Timing and knock resistance compared with p98?

Toshi seemed to think e85 isn't great in a car that is driven once a week (lose octane over the time and could get knock), but others on here seem to think it's ok.

Any thoughts? Would like ultimate response

The VP racing fuels E85 additive is claimed to do similar and also provide lube to the engine.

I'm considering welding my internal gate shut on my ATR45 in the coming months when I got for an E85 tune, going external gate etc to see if the boost control improves (I would assume flow improves as well with a screamer) - Any thoughts on this?

Just use Lucas Ethanol Stabiliser, pretty cheap and drop in 30mL at a time into your full tank... prior to my flex setup, I just did that and the car gets driven at most once a week, usually every fortnight.

Fuel filter after 2000km looked pretty ok, no extra deposits or anything but did have some brown gunk in it as usual.

As for running an external, make sure you vent it from the manifold to relieve back pressure.. running the gate of the turbo "may" be a good idea however the factory manifold is pretty restrictive as I've found out on the dyno.

The manifold and gate were glowing bright red and when I added in more timing the car wouldn't make any more power...

I'm in the process or moving the gate onto the manifold from the turbo housing.. hopefully should see less back pressure and allow me to dial in more timing.

FWIW I put in an additional 6 degrees of timing and it only netted 327kW, I pulled back 3 degrees and it made 325kW @1.6bar boost.

I have seen 430+ a few times on the factory manifold with the gate off the housing. Welding it off the manifold could work well if you can get in and die grind it afterwards. I doubt you will see much in the way of gains between them.

No need for stabilizer with pump e85, I have been on Caltex/United e85 for 6 odd years without running a stabilizer and never cleaned my filters or injectors.

Watch your timing, I much prefer more boost and less timing as you previously mentioned Johnny.

You need to put a 600x300x100mm cooler on. Or adding the gate makes very little differences in power. Then add E85. This turbo maxed at 420rwkws on Hovac's C34 Stagea.

This is an Duel ball bearing ATR43G3 SAT, Not the prettiest looking. But managed 317rwkws @ 21psi, full boost hit at 3550RPM. This is the most responsive turbocharger that I've ever built so far.

Final result was 317rwkws @ 21psi P98 fuel.

Almost reaching 20psi by 3500RPM, Currently at 3550RPM.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
