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 :(

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
