less power than you... :P ...with slightly less boost. Very safe tune though.

We thought it best to get the car set-up and running good consistant times with a sensible tune and reasonable boost levels. Ringing the engines neck while trying to get the set-up right is a bit silly as these engines have a short life at 1000hp+. Its now set-up right and quite consistant as the last 6 or 7 passes have been 9.7's or better with all the 60' times being in the high to mid 1.3's. Mark says there is lots left in it (about another 120hp at the treads with further boost and tuning) so ill be flying back up in a few weeks to run it again with a bit more power and set-up in the car. Small steps are the order of the day...trying big jumps can leave you frustrated and or a big expensive mess to fix.

any idea of how long till you take it out? remember the suspension guide i gave you...its a good starting platform and easier to fine tune from there.

good luck

Thanx mate. it wont be for about a month or two ive got other things going on{work shit}

so i still have to bolt the auto in and get shafts made but i will let you know

i know its easy enough to make the power we just have to get it down the track

Ok dyno dynamics could read high but knock 200kw off the figure and im still making 300kw more than most :P

i lol'd.....to save an arguement...get Vic to do it in 'Shootout' mode...its the industry standard and cross-references directly to Mainline figures.

dyno's are for tuning anyway...racing is the true measure of performance.

id like to see it run so stay in touch before you take it out.

Haha its been a while since the last "flame someones dyno figures" session on here.

Nice work Superjet, sounds like a very impressive setup - be good to hear how it goes on the strip. I know RIPS has run around 150mph in a full weight R34 GTR without NOS and slightly less boost on an RB26/30 with the same or less amount of "turbo" so while I can't make heads nor tails of how different Oz dynos read, I know that if your head is good and the tune is nice - a 26/30 with a bunch of turbo, good fuel and 30psi can make for a very hearty amount of power.

Well done mate, glad it worked out well for ya.

Was good talking to Con last week, we discussed a few things and I told him to go for it as we'd been alot further than you wanted to go with the same bottom end setup.

Best of luck mate, get the gas on there and let me know how me old auto goes too :D

Rob is this the Turbo400 4WD you been working on?

Nah, this is a different set up alltogether.

The TH400 is all but done, I'm just waiting for the car to get here from overseas thats going to be our test mule.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
