laggy with the t51r? how much power are you making at 100kmph/4000rpm?

ive also had a massive headache with controlling boost. went from a 38mm gate to a 33 and then eventually to a 60mm gate ive currently got. took a good few months to sort that out =[

My dyno sheet doesnt start till about 4500 from the auto and we had to ease the throttle on in the midrange as it was wheel spinning.

As for power at 100kph, cruising in top gear at 100 and stand on the throttle it would just light up the 18s

All I did was have 1 fitting installed on the intercooler hot pipe if you dont already have one, then had a dyno run with the boost signal coming from the hot pipe. Then Trent plotted both the plenum boost and the hot pipe boost and you can see how the difference gets wider as rpm increases. Therefore, I would get a good result out of a better intercooler with less pressure drop (ignore the std turbo graph).

My mech says that the vavles have to be taken out a actually tested. With all that effort I decided to just buy brand new ones. Will have it fited in a week.

Managed to also back pressure test the exhaust. Less then 1psi all the way to redline.

Still have yet to test the cooler, will be sorted out soon.

Valves out to test?

Did you check the manifold pressure or the exhaust pressure? and what exhaust manifold are you using?

Notcied you said you were having heaps of boost control issues? manifold might be doing funky shit to the exhasust gasses at the collector

Was this under load? If not, it doesnt mean much. Without load the cat would have to be very blocked for it show up as a restriction. There was another thread about a car that was tested by free revving to have less than 1psi to redline and the cat still ended up being a restriction (ie more than 20-30rwkw).

The run was under load. I'm not running a cat and it's a 3.5 straight pipe exhaust system. I highly doubted it was the exhaust but got it out the way.

I seem to also be having cas problems. Symptoms recently included alot of misfiring on cruise and running rich. This wasn't a issue when we had the car fully tuned months ago but is halting our progress until resolved.

Of anyone can help me out it's a r33 rb26. Which CASs are interchangeable?

This sounds familiar, did I meet you at Status last wed?

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
