10psi according to the previous owner and the boost guage 0.7bar

Haven't had it long enough to get ot on a dyno

But the SAFC is tuned ATM right? I'm not overly confident tuning it further without having some idea of what the fuel curve is like at the moment...

You may be best to just keep the boost at 10psi once the dump is done...

Yeah it is tuned atm and seems pretty good.

Do you know if the boost will rise as a result of the dump pipe?

Having said the tune seems pretty good, I wouldn't know the sound of pinging if it bit me on the ass :blah:

Depends on how good your boost control is... If your using a good EBC, it should be able to keep the boost at what ever level you choose... A bleeder on the other hand is more likely to allow more boost to be produced... Should be able to get rid of any extra boost though depending on the bleed...

Pinging sounds like a rattle in your engine bay... Best way I can describe it... I was chasing down an engine bay rattle for 3 years on a Turbo Laser with no intercooler, blow through carby and 22psi before I worked out what pinging was... :D Oh to be young again!

Nice, but are you watching it with a good home theatre system, if not, it just is not the same, need at least a billion watts of speakers pointed at you all going full blast to get the best experiance out of the matrix series :rofl:

It's a Hybrid EBC...seems to hold pretty steady, doesn't spike over0.7 bar

I had a Cordia turbo that was apparently pinging its tits off....didn't realise until a friend who was a marine engineer brought it to my attention....had been thrashing it in that state for over a year so promptly sold it to an unsuspecting Lebanese gentleman (I use that term advisedly)

Nice disclaimer :D

So you need a boost constoller to run the bleed valve

I was under the impression you just split the line, pop the above bleed valve and loosen it for more boost?

like i said before ... a bleed valve is a boost controller. put that in you line between your actuator and comp cover or inlet pipe depending how its setup .... if your still having troubles i suggest you pay someone or get someone who knows about it there when you do it, that way there's no risk of something going wrong ..... bet you really don;t want to fork out for new pistons hey ...

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
