Hi there,

Here is a list of all the things that I have done to the car since I got it. I am really a beginner with this car....

HKS cat back exhaust, HKS fully adjustable suspension, cross drilled rotors all round, Apexi Power FC computer, heavy duty clutch with lightened brass button flywheel, Eboost 2. argo h beam rods, acl forged pistons, arp head studs, N1 oil pump, N1 water pump, gates racing timing belt, tomei 260 poncams, tomei adjustable cam gears, mls metal head gasket, 2 garrett 2860 turbos, tomei sump baffle

Who also would you recommend for a good tune? As far as I know the adjustable cams have'nt been adjusted also

Thanks

There's at least four different sizes of 2860s - do you know which ones you have? The larger ones will have more power potential but produce power at higher rpm. Have a look through the RB26 turbo upgrade dyno sticky in Forced Induction find sheets to compare to.

Not many people tune at 12.5 AFR when the boost is up - typically its more like 11.5 or 12, which will be safer for the motor. Maybe they're running less timing to try to compensate??

Did you ask Envy what happened at 185kms?

AFAIK Jim at Croydon racing and Yuvas at Unigroup are among the most respected tuners in Sydney.

The good news is i've seen worse

The bad news is i've seen plenty a lot better

But, without knowing which 2860's, how much boost and a myriad of other things... It's hard to say where yours sits exactly.

My guess, being only 320rwkw, its the smaller ones, in which case you have some issues.

I've never heard on "envy", are they well versed in RB performance? IF not, your money might well be better spent at a number of other places.

Thanks for the advice so far.....I am certain they are the dash 5's. If that makes any sense. The car was'nt actually tuned at Envy, they just had a Dyno Day which I took my car to.

Envy won't able to confirm what was happening at the end there on the spot, what suggestions would any of you guys have?

By the way I think the boosts are set at 15, 17.5 and 20 PSI

Thanks

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz
    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
