Ooo you retuned? Why man? Your PT is so close by.... Why retune to suit your stock turbo when you are gonna put a new turbo on soon anyway?

Maybe Ron2 will beat Ron1 to fruition!

Retuned because Jez was good enough to ask me to come over so he can check the tune - re: previously my poor fuel economy, groaning and lack of power at low revs, pausing before taking off - all problems gone now, economy is better (dunno how much yet), even the engine sound is nice and purry and soft unlike before was a groaning louder mofo lacking in sharpness and lowdown-mid range power big time... Measured 182rwkw when I drove in, after a couple hours and 205rwkw, a completely different and very pleasurable car to drive. Its not the power thats the big difference, but the overall feel is way different

And you know with all this Ron1 Ron2 stuff you and I are gonna have some crazy rivalry going. Gonna need to battle it out at the drags on the regular!

HAHAH I dont even know how to launch man, let alone drive..lol, Sir 5558 should go on soon and you earn the title of Ron (damn, which turbo?) now I guess... :yes:

Mines going in for a tune Oct 3rd at Hyperdrive. Kando T67 on Hybrid Manifold,750cc inj, 98 oct, stock intake manifold, 3" Custom exhaust, Nistune with stagea image.

Should be firing it up this wkend, everythings fabbed up, just need to bolt the hotside on.

Hoping to crack 400rwhp safely.

Yep mines also the antisurge, from what research i'd done on them most people lose between 3-6% but then with the added benefits. Only thing im worried about is the noise pissing me off after the noveltys worn off.

Don't any of you listen to the radio? Once your sick of the noise the radio would block it out for sure.

And sif you would get sick of sounding like your packing something massive. Gentle overtaking with a mean mechanical whistle is farking awesome.

Lith do you still have your 33?

I'm guessing you'll safely get to about 370rwhp. If you crack 400rwhp, then big up's to you and your tuner :-)

That's probably a good reason why I never got sick of it, thinking of it - I always had music playing when I was lurking around, the main times I heard the turbo was when I decided I wanted to.... or the occasionally particularly big hill or other "high load" moment ;)

Yep. Rego on hold, have an RB30 block in the garage and almost acquired an RD28 block just for shxts and giggles. Just watching, pondering, and otherwise helping others make their cars faster.... you'd totally approve of the S14 I have been tuning lately, I think if you drove it you'd juice yourself.

HAHA nice, I think I might need to make a trip your way sooner or later and say Hi.

What turbs is on this 14? Im in the market as the thread tells :P

Power Enterprise PE1420 which is nicely suited to the unopened SR20DET. On 1bar we were seeing 80-120kph in 2.2s in 3rd, or 3.2s in 4th.... 1bar by 2900rpm in 4th gear.

Ohh I remember you told me bout that one ages back.

I wish you lived local man :(

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
