Yeah Unique automotive in villawood, he tuned my friends turbo excel, well tried to atleast. They told him to tune it on no more then 10psi, but he ended up incorrectly setting the boost controller to 18psi. Was also overheated on the dyno 3 times.

Lol maybe that is why they are so 'Unique'.

Sounds like another workshop to steer clear of.... Good tuners and good workshops are becoming a bit of a rarity these days.... I had a bad experience with a local workshop recently and will never take my car there, nor will i let my mates take their cars there again... Word of mouth goes a long way! :dry:

On the flipside, word of mouth also goes a long way with GOOD tuners and workshops

I would think taking that centre bit out of the manifold is a bad idea. because the turbo isn't centered you have 4 cylinders of pressure on one side pushing against 2 from the other makes for uneven flow pattern. If it turns out to be the culprit piss it off and get a hybrid topmoumt I'm dying to see how well it would work :P

Failing that my guess is you have fuel delivery issues, but it's just a guess..

Dori34 i doubt it is your manifold.I got mine tuned last weekend and was worried the manifold was going to cause turbulence problems. My whole top half of the splitter is gone. Silly me put the 20psi spring combo in my gate assuming it might just run under the target pressure(so i can use boost controller to up the pressure 1-2 psi and ramp boost up abit quicker) but ended up going to 22psi in the top end. the least power it could make was 300atw with very minimal timing and fat AFRs. That is on caltex eflex though. going to see Trent this w.e for a touch up and il ask for a dyno print out and il post them up.

Your not getting a bad name. The quality of your work has not been mentioned at all.

Putting a gate on the stock manifold wasn't guaranteed to work, its nobody's fault if it didn't. It doesn't matter how well you did the job, it matters if putting a hole in the collector of a divided manifold and a gate within a few inches of it will create turbulence.

See what happens anyway.

yeah gate on manifold should be fine, it was just removing the splitter I was unsure on,,but as it turns out its still there anyway...so my point was proven invalid already..

secretly I was just trying to talk him into the hybrid topmount though cause I want to see how it goes..

OMG am I seeing ghosts or what- just how many doris do we have here?? One talkin to the other.. Confused:S

TBH, i wouldn't be suprised after the last issue with my "boost issue" which was just the EBC set incorrectly.

the boost plot is only for the 1bar run, but from what i saw, the 1.2 and 1.4 bar runs was just flat line like the 1bar, no issues there.

OH NOOOO

Hey dori33, what's done to your car and any Dyno sheets? I wanna see where the restriction is how it looks ok a Dyno if your maxing out a Mani.

Guys, please don't doubt the manifold, it's been done before and they've have made 280-300rwkw on this set manifold setup, Blake has done a good job. he's done a lot of work for me and I appreciate all his help

Thank to Jez you legend, looks like another silly mistake done by my tuner.

I think I'm gonns book it in with you earlier cause I can't wait any longer. Speak to you soon mate.

im just having a look to see if the haltech works off kpa absolute or kpa.

ill send you the tune back with the overboost raised, let me know if it still cuts out, but obviously dont go thrashing it as the tune isnt finished for high boost

Not so much a bad name but I loose work over people saying the manifold don't work it does work and it's proven as jez just stated boost cut wasn't changed for high boost. If the manifold wasn't working it would be spiking seems every time dori has a boost issue the finger gets pointed at the manifold and it effects my clients Thinking my product is shit

hey rondofj can u try one on a hybrid manifold, looks like doris car is sorted damnit >_<

I mean YAY!!! :banana:

At the mo im just about to come out of a 6 month hibernation in a weeks time, but hopeful of dori's results too as thats whats Im intending to do.. :)

On an unrelated note Jez, what is the difference between the PS1000 and PS2000 based on a setup like Dori's and like mine? (Bit of a Noob question i know...)

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
