What do you menat, the runner length? Its a stock manifold with the turbo mived out 50mm, so it flows the same as a stock manifold, the runner length does not affect the gate a lot. The problem with it is the position of the gate does not have good flow to it and the boost creeps slightly on the drag strip.

234rwkw on 16psi, its only a small t04 with a 0.64 a/r compressor and exhaust housing

on 16psi ?

that's a tad low?

I've now worked out i've got a t04 front housing, t3 rear.

The comp cover is .60 and i'm making an easy 203rwkw @13psi.

On 15psi, i had a jump of around 25-30kw from memory, but then the injectors were at limit, so we wound it back a tad...

Considering his engine is 500cc smaller than yours, I'd say he's doing better than you are :(

I'm doing worse than the both of you, around 215rwkw @15psi, and with surging issues as well. I hope to sort it out with the PowerFC. It already seems better and it's not even tuned yet.

i forgot... RB20 :(

But at the end of the day, different dyno's do read different things so it's a hard thing to go by.

Unless everyone is on the same one, same day. Say the dyno i got on reads 20kw higher?

Or 20kw lower? No-one knows.

This will be and impossible issue to resolve (as always)

Are you planning on getting an equal lenght aftermarket manifold? coz the stock manifold sucks balls in terms of flow on a big turbo

If the stock manifold is good enough for a 10 second car, I think its good enough for his application.

Only one in the world you say? Sorry but I think you are wrong. I don't want to get into this argument here but there are a number of VL Turbo's producing big power figures on stock internals. The link I posted earlier proves that you don't need expensive manifolds or internals to produce big power.

stock manifold may produce big power, thats aint the point, have u seen the design of the stock manifold?? mine is off at the moment getting a custom one put on and the stock cast item is not a nice looking piece of equipement and was made on a budget basis much like most stock parts on cars and is very inefficient

well for a std or basic upgrades it does the job well, and there have been plent who have made 300rwkw with the thing. I decent tubular manifold would deliver benefits but its all $$.

Ive got a rb25 that needs some pistons and once thats built properly i will probably get a compete nes setup and sell mine as it is, for a budget set up it works well, and when i did it thats what i was after a cheap 12 sec car, now i wont a reliable 11 sec car so it all changes.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
