Thought id have a crack at explaining the difference between air pressure and air volume

blow up a balloon to 10psi

now blow up a hot air balloon to 10psi

see which one takes longer.

Its ok i know im the best ever

ciao

10psi on stock turbo is not the same as 10psi on a T04Z

why?

because pressure does not equal volume

the compressor wheel on the stock will say flow 40lbs of air at 10psi

the compressor wheel on the t04z will say flow 120lbs of air at 10psi

much like a car tyre vs a truck tyre

both tyres are at 40psi

of course, however the truck tyre has more air volume inside it

with excess airflow from a larger turbo the fuel mapping will be off the planet and lean out

lean out = excess heat = excess heat = engine failure likely

be careful

Its all sorted guys, got it tuned and we could only get about 260rwkw at 14psi because my intercooler is only 500x130x50 and we were getting temps up to 70+ degrees and it was tapering off, and auto was being a bit funny its still awesome power and through the auto is interesting, its on the verge of uncontrollable when you hold it wide, unlike a manual just hitting limiter, it goes straight to 2nd and then 3rd, its like a dog trying to run on ice. I know there are heaps of you with double and more power than that, but for me im happy with it.

BTW running haltech e11 v2.... and im going to ( in future) do a 4k stall, manualise box and put a crank collar on before i go back. My tuner said the t04 hasnt even come to life yet and says ill easly crack 400.. i do have a bigger intercooler too.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
