boost = torque yes?

if your making 21 psi @ 3000 rpm then your peak torque is pretty low.. and therefore you'd be rapidly accelerating from that point onwards.

I guess I'm trying to say its good for a dyno test. But its not a real world situation. I can say I have full boost at 3000rpm, that only happens in a situation you would never use. 4th gear, 3000rpm is about 80km/h. I would be in 2nd or 3rd gear if I wanted to have some fun.

Hey, why not load it up in 5th gear going up a hill and see how quickly it builds boost.

Take it easy. Mad skids uleh.

Well isn't "today's" turbo engineering is trying to get away from the tire frying behavior and concentrating on displacement? Power curve with sudden increase in power and torque are more likely to fry tires, while consistent increases are more likely to stick the car on road. Car that do stick on road during acceleration is lot faster then car that loses traction.

Exactly!

You also don't need to wring the balls off the motor with boost coming in nice and early.

You just dont rev to 7500rpm - you shift sooner to stay back in the solid/meaty area of torque and surging forward.

It's like a win-win as less RPM the better for reliability.

I made 400hp on stock internals

Gt30/76r turbo

Haltec e11 ecu

3.5" exhaust

700cc high flow injectors

After market fuel pump

Running 18psi on pump fuel with a good tune from addrenline imports in mackay

Except there is nothing beyond the claim that the GT2835 spools that fast, dyno plot makes it look like almost 500rpm laggier than the numbers referred to here

Lith, the HKS2835ProS on the stagea makes 16psi at 3300rpm (150rwkw at 3500rpm and 180rwkw at 4000rpm). I am not sure how much earlier power could be brought on with more time on the dyno but this where it ended up last time out.

The car was on the dyno on a bull$hit hot >40deg day and the skinny OEM radiator wasn't coping well with temps becoming uncontrollable . Additionally we hit a boost limit around here where it wouldn't make more power...I think I have sorted that issue out as I suspect the stock BOV was cracking open here. This needs to be dynoed at some point with the new radiator and BOV mods.

Less lag and more tine under the curve is faster. You need to setup your suspension to put the power down

tune is more important than power level, loads of cars driving around pinging their tits off, especially when people flog it in summer when it has been tuned in winter with no temperature correction set up.

quite easily blow it up with only 220kw if the tuner has been quick and nasty

Virtually any motor needs to shift at red-line to make the fastest 1/4's.

It's cos torque at the wheels = engine torque x gear ratio.

Just do the maths and see.

Unless your torque is dropping off massively at red-line then shifting to a longer gear (upshift) is invariably going to result in less torque at the wheels.

Yep, basically you need to shift to maximise power under the curve, this usually means shifting above peak power and well above peak torque. Torque can drop off quite massively towards redline yet it is still faster to shift up there.

With street gear ratios I'd say shifting on the limiter is going to be the fastest a lot of the time.

I think nismoid realises this though, he was just saying you don't need to rev it as much to get the same average power.

    • 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"
