Well. I'm even tempting saying stuff it n go straight to Trent.

Give them the benefit of the doubt, its not going to cost you anything.

TBH it caught me out 1st time i did a LINK, With the LINK unless you do a store after each tuning stage it will loose all your "current" changes and revert to the "original" map that it was started on (not the original base but the same map the car was key started on). They could have accidently lost the last lot of map changes.

I rang lunch time.asked for a a/f chart by the end of the day. Didn't happen.

Plus this is no way near their first link.

The question is... How disapointed will you be if you pay Trent to fix the said issues and you find it is hardly any better?

While I dont doubt his knowledge and opinion, I also know you should never expect too much. I have a feeling the amendments will make for an all round better car but would only hope that a good improvement in response is found, rather than expecting one..

As stated AVO should be willing to tacklw this for you free of charge.

Ye but to be fair - he's been told its got nothing to do with the actuator.

Whilst it really only IS going to be the actuator, 2nd opinion also backed that up what a lot of us suspected anyway. We've all seen enough results to have a "reasonable" idea of where things should sit.

There are also further reccommendations in other area's as well.

I mean go back and see, but i cannot see them being too forthcoming on it all and more time spent might not achieve anything.

I also highly doubt they will do it for free, no one works for free, hell even when they have stuffed up a lot of places still charge.

I'm gonna ask to refund my money on the tune. They seem too busy for me.

let us know how you go with fitment on a 6boost manifold. i have the same housing but to suit a gt30 on a hks cast manifold and fitment is mission impossible in every regard. for example the edge of the t4 flange sits so close to the comp housing that i've had to leave one of the comp housing bolts out as it fouls. have fun with the lines....:thumbsup:

ill trial fit the turbo an make some lines up on the weekend and let you know how i go,

with the rear housing only bolted on the manifold it sits atleast 10mm lower then the HKS one i had

yeah its a RB30, 26 head forgot to mention that - thought we were in the RB30 section :P

im will be talking to a few tuners im in sydney so it will be out of JEM/Powertune/unigroup still probly 4-5months off from any dyno time

quick question guys would a 3 1/2 inch dump to 4inch cat back be over kill for my set up? OR should i just stick to 3 1/2 inch the whole way?

for your thing 4inch is the go. yes turbine outlet is small but you want a nice taper out from the outlet to 4inch pipe. even more important if you are planning to plumb in the wastegate outlet.

almost 1000rpm of spool difference, although completely different dyno setups so not really that compareable. Still it really does look like his is set up perfectly.

He is also using external gate and manifold, what are you using?

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
