As always, this is a great build thread. What you have done it what I would love to do..

If you were to put a figure to what you have spent, what would you estimate at? If you don't mind me asking..

Keep up the great work :D

Why wouldn't you use the gtx version?

Because the build started with a turbo I randomly bought... And 3 years ago they weren't really heard of.... And to this day from what I have read I am glad to have a GT over a GTX as they seem to be average at best....

If you had $25,000 you could buy two things, those mods and a cheeseburger :)

Lol they would wanna give you a few grand with that burger....

Boost curve is HEAPS better with the Greddy Profec in comparison to the HKS EVC 5 which is a little surprising.

The car has been run on the dyno since that graph i believe but peak power was bugger all more as the turbo has no more to give, still a big result for a GT30

very good effort that turbo, sure pushing it hard... how are the EGTs? I can imagine you would be able to roast chooks on the exhaust

Yeah thanks mate! I am not sure on the EGT's but with E85 and decent tune i cant see any major issue :)

Nice graph Matt. .

I think you still might be leaning out abit...needs more fuel (kidding :D )

Are you still looking at trying to hit the 400awkw with a bigger snail?

I like that dyno printout, been comparing it to mine, 4000rpm is the giggle zone hey .. lol

i think your gt and my gtx are almost identical though, so interesting due to the bad rap the gtx has had, have you thought bout putting a gtx wheel on and shooting for the 400kw?

Nope, ill learn to enjot the car for now, traction is already an issue even with a good setup SO more power is just wank factor (Do want lol) but no point building a car and then putting it into a wall haha

Mmmmm. Thread needs moar 6262.

Great results Mat. Hope you get to enjoy it reliably for a while and have some fun in it at the events.

LOL No it does not, love the 3037 whistle too much :P And yes i hope so too man!

Mine is a little lazy and laggy simply because of the exhaust being restrictive, a setup like this should have more below 4000 and full boost on 3700-3800 BUT i would rather keep it quiet on the street and have that off boost area to keep me out of trouble, but yes beyond 4000 rpm is all skids and lulz

How many tyres do you go through a week? LOL.. I can imagine on song in 2nd she's prancing all over the road

None, i keep breaking stuff lol..... And no prancing!

Except he behaves on the street, don't ya Mat? :laugh:

This man.... He knows!

Keep it to the track! lol

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
