How would a GTX3076 go with a 0.63 rear housing ( external) assuming it had either water/meth or E85??

assuming it had 22psi, would it be a fail or quite good?

You have the perfect housing, don't change it to the .63 or you will have more issues with det than you have now.

I doubt your engine is that coated in carbon that the compression would have been bumped, Can you get a scope down there for a look? If it is just drop the head off and clean it up, if its not there are some serious issues with your setup Mark.

Im starting to think its to do with the tuner, he didnt take very long, most of it was done within an hour, on the graph its only holding 16psi and you'd think he would of said, "mate, there only mild cams, you got some issues with leaks somwhere", it even stalled on him on the drive home, i think fix up this leak and possibly change the wastgate spring for a 1bar spring and even replace the resonator and then retune with E85.

My standard GT series made good power at only 21psi with .82 rear and full boost is 3800 or something.... So no need for smaller rear I don't think...

how long would it take to clean the motor if your running ethanol? or would that matter if your running ethanol?

Mine had a little carbon on the pistons, a quick squirt of gasket stripper cleaned them right up. Its a 150,000k engine so it should have been fairly caked.

The ethanol wont ever ping with a good tune and it's cheaper to run than 98 now the price dropped. (United) Shame the only outlet in Qld is Warwick, how close are you?

How well did it hold boost in the high rpm?

Did it drop off towards redline?

It used to drop off too 18psi by red line, tuner said if we could hold boost up top it would crack well into the 400's..

Warwick? im pretty sure theres some close by , well 40mins away at kessels rd mt gravatt which is on the way to the city anyway. :yes:

That would be from the pump, so is it right in saying the tuner will tune it not on the egde to account for if the ethanol content varies?

United is at Warwick.

Ethanol variation isn't a problem, even 10% variation would hardly change the afr's. I guess I have no worries with it as I bought a wideband, perhaps you should lash out $200 on a gauge too if you decide to go with e85?

Every tune is rich on boost, how much so depends on what your tuner is comfortable with. The Jap tuners love 10:1 on petrol with shitloads of timing, here around 12:1 and a less aggressive timing map is the norm. Either of these tunes should have enough overhead for a fair amount of variation and it should never ping anyway. Just make sure your tuner has e85 experience (although most would by now.)

I'm running 19-20:1 on cruise at the moment with no adverse effects, no knock and good exhaust temps. Try that with petrol, it wont run well and you would f*ck your engine fairly quickly I assume.

You need to get out more.

Caltex goodna

caltex springfield

caltex yamanto

Caltex goldcoast (suburb escapes me)

Caltex upper m Gravatt

All carry Eflex. I fill up at the yamanto outlet regularly and have used most of the others.

Plans are underway for a major increase in outlets, A new plant is being built in north qld right now.

Once completed you will see a major increase in the number of outlets.

any word if this major increase will stretch to NSW?

Nation wide from what I can glean.

The plant is definitely under construction as we speak. A friend has a supply contract for parts for the new truck fleet delivering cane to the plant when it opens.

That is freaking unreal. More or less the only issue I have with moving to ethanol is its availability.

If its more readily available in my area and on the way to wakefield I would happily retune my shitbox to run it.

Anyway, GTX bla bla bla.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
