Wait... Something is wrong then, I think mine will even open gate on high boost in 1st gear! That's 26psi :)

Will test with some videos tonight and see what I actually get.

probably starts to crack the gate but no way 26psi haha, I'd say 15 ish absolute max.

Shit I forgot to test!

Yeah might not hit that much, really depends on trye grip as well... If it wheel spins your not going to be as much boost, if you launch of limiter with drag slicks I'd imagine it would a lot of boost fast :)

Will try and remember again tonight haha

Yes but I was giving an example of how the turbo behaves respective of load. Not wether or not it will stay consistent if it reaches it's boost level. I felt it was a better example then saying you won't hit target boost in neutral (unless maybe your on limiter) as opposed to flat to the floor in third. The hill thing was just an easier comparison of load.

OP: read the manual to see if what I have said in my last post is in there and if it says the reason behind doing that mod. Might be for boost creep rather then your problem I forget. Otherwise I'd try putting stock parts bak on to trial (BOV and boost solenoid mainly) if it starts working then it will show you your problem

Yup sorry, I agree with what your saying just didnt want people to expect different boost levels in different gears with a well setup actuator/boost control system. You are 100% correct its easier to build boost with more load.

Got 1.38bar on the first attempt and 1.43bar on the second... Will upload the video when I have time :)

Don't know how people are only getting 0.3bar in first with a GT30, something must have been wrong!

20psi, in first gear with a GT30 on a RB25?

ok. Now I have seen it all.

Post a video or I call 110% bullshit.

yeah good call......

the only that you be possible is if you had the hand brake on to load it up :rofl2:

I could make a max of 5psi in first, nothing more. WIth a GT30 and 0.63 rear.

OP needs to look at if the wastegate is holding shut. Or put tension on it.

tow a boat up a hill in 1st gear, probably could hit 20psi :whistling:

Hows the foot in mouth tasting?!?

      Blue slip

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
