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...)

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
