My new engine - tuning *update* 25psi ='s :D

[Steve]

I forgive you:)

EDIT: the carpet for the sub box helped soften the blow, cheers

[Freebaggin]

I think all is now in order, are boost pressures right?

Will be better on the same dyno, Grepin's had a stronger mid range on the Boost Worx dyno compared to Tilbrook's.

EDIT: Oh yeah, kept the pink one for ya Matt, nothing else looked right!

Also made changes at 90km/h.

[boosted32]

i think you need to put a vaue of 120kw @ 90kph for whatsisname's graph... it looks freakishly good around that point at the moment it will shape it more like the dyno graph with that value in... just being picky...

it's got an awesome mid-range though... i calculate an average of ~35rwkw extra between 80 and 130, with as much as 60kw at 100kph... that's almost like having an extra NA rb20 at the rear-wheels at 100kph

any chance of graphing an RB26 with around 260-280rwkw/awkw on there... would be interesting to see the difference in the power delivery.

[Steve]

Thats a great idea actually Lachlan, when was the last time we had an SAU dyno day? Do you think Shaun would be up for it?

It would be really nice to have a sort of comparison chart on here so people could see what different combos/mods have made - it would be a great info resource, and a fun day as long as Matt lays off the ELF:)

[Steve]

Just had a thought too, its interesting that Matt is running the lowest CR too, and he has heaps of midrange - Matt, you need a bigger turbo:) Does MattR still have his HKS T04R?

[EnricoPalazzo]

i would b up 4 a dyno day. ill be in the 2xx rwkws by then

[TIMMMAYYY]

how much were you're stickers dean?? what ones give the most power?

[Nightcrawler]

I hope all you guys are all competing at the Nats next weekend .... I wanna line some of you up - see how my wussy little stock internals and turbo SR20 goes against the big boys

[TIMMMAYYY]

I think matty ahh has sold his To4 btw steve

[Cubes]

You have the launching sorted Nightcrawler, all you need now is some raw/real hehe power to get that TS up.

Not that I have any raw/real power at the moment..

[slyr33]

Hey just curious wat either steve, freebaggin, greppin or whatsisname have done to there supension and diff for extra traction, if use have any traction.

Nice work on all your cars, use have all done very well for ur selves. Hope i make it to that stage myself, one day.

[MattR]

yeah sold the t04r, still got manifold if anyone wants it at a good price. also got Gtr rear diff for better launch if any wants that at good price.

[whatsisname]

Top stuff Lach', love your work. Yep you got my boost level correct mate (1.3bar)

You know I like that pink so much I might just paint the car in it

Hope the carpet did the trick Steve? Yeah good idea re the SAU dyno day. I'd say Shaun/Boost Worx would be happy to host it. I'll have a chat to Shaun today (7Feb) & see what he thinks. I'd suggest waiting a month or so till temps come down a touch. Then I'll whack some ELF in & cheat ...... J/K

Mate I'd love to go bigger in the turbo dept, but $$$ are needed in other areas atm, so what I've got will do for now. I agree that my CR & response are surprising! Fresh engine perhaps? Headwork. Port matching manifolds. Could be a combo of things? Plus the turbo itself.

slyr33,

To help with traction I have:

Standard shocks - with king spring lows

Adjustable rear camber kit - set to minimal neg' for a flatter contact patch

Sub frame bushes (pineapples) - set for traction

RE540S rubber - my normal rubber, not really that good for drag use but I'll see how I go.

I really don't have big goals for quick ET's, I'm actually more interested in my TS, & having fun

[Bl4cK32]

I wanna get me camber done as well whatsisname. Where did u take your car to get done. I've seen a few tyre joints, but none seem "professional" in this area. ie I wanna take me car somewhere where someone else has been where they don't thrash your car and do a good job for the price.

does that make sense?

[Cubes]

Sounds to me like you are keeping the car Matt....

[whatsisname]

Bl4ck32,

I've used:

Southern Steering & Suspension down south - Whiteline dealer/know their stuff

Web Suspension on Nth East Rd - did aligning myself, but their equipment is top notch

Bridgestone on Gouger St - The current aligning was done by Laurie & the boys, Laurie no longer works there though, pity as he is a bloody top bloke

Joel,

Sure am mate Promotion @ work & a tidy bonus helped I've still got a few bits to be bought & fitted, seats etc...

The Missus actually asked me last night......

Her - "So what other things do you want to do to the car?"

Me - "Ahhhh..... quite a lot, why do you ask?"

Her - "Do you want a bigger turbo? 'Cause isn't the one you've got old & not good enough?"

Me - "YES I'd love a new turbo!!!!"

Her - "You've already spent enough for now"

Me - *under my breath* - 'damn it!'

GT-R seats will keep me happy in the short term

[Steve]

Matt, I just passed it on to the guy building my sub box, hopefully it will be done by monday.

My sus mods, ohlins coilovers, set only medium hard rear, pineapples and hardmount spacers for the rear cradle, whiteline swaybars, castor bushes - and I have a 1 way mech diff coming. I seriously need to do the adjustable camber thing - I might see if I can get some adjustable arms for a reasonable price, but if no luck I will do the whiteline kit thing - also want to piss off the hicas. Currently I am running some goodyear revspecs, which dont hold too well at WOT in first or second.

Matt, how typical of the fairer sex, raise the spirits with expectation, just so you fall harder when they pull the carpet out from underneath;)

Well nothin TOO fancy for me in rear end:

King spings (progressive)

Bilstein shocks (used to get heaps of axle tramp at AIR when at 200rwkW but now none)

Superpro offset/adjust upper-arm polyurethane bushes (they give me 1° camber, up over 2° without which is too high for street applications)

Whilteline non-adjust solid swaybar

"Clint32" HICAS lock (not bad for an R32 scrubber )

Rear tyres are 265mm ZE326, nothin special but hook up surprisingly well at AIR, although not as good as RE540s.

I reckon Bridestone in Gouger are the best for wheel align but make sure you get a bloke that knows hi-po stuff now that Laurie has gone.

Steve, see Clint32 re adjustable arms.

[Steve]

Lachlan, I think he only does adj castor rods? Does he do HICAS locks too? Hmmm, c'mon Clint, how much - you've been holding out!
