Added to that, I have seen a few of the stock bleeder points fail, one snapped the plastic pipe off and a few with the Phillips head stripped. Using alloy for the body and a steel ball valve it should hopefully be a more reliable option for that too.

The upgrade turbo, a GTX3076 has been tuned today, I'm very pleased with how it's driving now and no issues to report.

My stock VQ25det with ARP L19 head studs managed 350kw at around 24psi on a safe track tune. Hopefully I can get a good time at Sandown next Saturday, fingers crossed. I just got some sticky 245 Advan AO48's to help me grip, should be a great day. :)

Spectators are welcome by the way. ;)

Shaft was out, it would have made more if the dyno wasn't speed limited as power was still climbing. It still had another 1000 revs to go.

Not much laggier but it feels much punchier with the more efficient stall converter. Hopefully I can get the stock trans ecu to lock it up now.

The spiking was due to fuel surge I think, lean pops in the exhaust causing the turbo to spool to 3 bar even with the wastegate wide open. I will have to look at a new fuel system, probably a 20L surge tank in the spare wheel well with a 416L Walbro like yours.

20lt is a bit extreme isnt it...What if you were to mount a small (2lt or so) surge tank inside your fuel tank...maybe in the passenger side hole

I'm gunna have to ditch my twin pipe too mate, its smacking the chassis bad now, I tried to fix it but made think I made it worse...you happy now :P

like i said. a good stainless steel one custom for the boot space. im sure your skilled enough to make a drop in tank pump holder which would be plenty for a surge.. the extra 40-50 litres would be INSANE!

Realist mate, have you even looked under there yet? :)

So happy with the end result Scotty, or still a little left in it?

Very happy, its just running off the gate spring at the moment, plenty more in it if I lean on the controller. Not sure I need more. lol.

It's a conservative track tune, should be good to see what time it can do around Sandown. 1800kg it weighed in at so i'm not expecting supercar times.

Scott, have you asked to have the dyno setting remain the same from one tune to the next?

Getting a bit ridiculous that the settings change every time and gives little to no reference for the power readout.

They need to change to some extent, as the weather, temps and pressure changes. (this tune was at .85 correction or something.) Truthfully I don't care, I just want a good, strong tune ready for Sandown.

Hopefully I can stop fiddling for a while now so it doesn't need tuning again. With the hard life this engine has had I can't believe it hasn't thrown a rod. Time to enjoy driving it... while it lasts. :)

Nice work! Inspired by this thread!

Could you please tell, or show thread, what controlled the ignition and fuel before the F-con? i've read about e-manage, was it equipped with another AFM? do you run just MAP or MAF also?

more info on ECU side. please!

FYI, VQ30DET also have cooling mod parts for VQ25DET, ready-to-install, same as pathfinder's, may be it will help in looking for this parts)

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
