LOL i am at that price huh? pinch.gif

Nice work Justo glad ya pulled out the calculator and crunched the numbers for me mate i should be able to afford a tank by tax time id say! haha

think your getting ripped mate :nyaanyaa:

:P

I'm really looking forward to your results on the E85. I am wondering how it will compare to my GTX3071R setup, but with water methanol injection and type B Poncams. I am hoping to get close to E85 results on 98. Will be winding in as much boost as it will take!!!

I will finally be assembling the bottom end this Wednesday. Still a month or 2 away with all the other work needed though.

Yeah watch this spot dude ill post my results up when its tuned i said the same thing to my tuner screw as much boost as ya can into her if my injectors can keep up the demand :thumbsup:

2 months dude?:blink: epic build mate but im keen to see your results though same turbo but different setup should be a monster :rofl:

Not too sure to be honest Andy sooner the better i say!:thumbsup:

Whats wrong with the stag mate?

If you are around Richmond this weekend give us a dial mate keen to check ya ride and give you a spin in mine

Are they tuning it tonite or tomorrow? The fat slug is going in on Thurs for tidy up and to sort a couple of minor issues.

Hahaha sweet keen to hear the 3076 whistle away

Wish my turbo was noisey :spank:

The slug is fine just a few little things that need a tidy up. Out in the boondocks on Saturday so we can compare notes as soon as I finish.

Just a lil update on my car had map sensor dramas yavus thinks its a dodgy sensor so my car was only tuned on 18psi and made 307rwkw once i get a new sensor and bump up the boost to 25psi its gunna feel real nice im really happy with how the car feels on E85 much livelier on and off boost and is just more responsive all round

Wow, I think the GTX will make a fair bit more once you get 25 pounds into it.

Wish we could get E85 here :(

Another 7psi and we will see what the billet wheels can do.

The compressor can only flow to its maximum capacity. Sure, bump up the boost and watch the midrange soar (good times :)). Even running E85 you will run into a restriction with what the turbine can flow up top. I'm guessing a bottleneck around 320kW, but a ridiculously fat midrange with 25psi.

Mick's car drives really nicely. It delivers in a very linear fashion through to redline. I feel like there should be more urge at 3000-4000rpm when you open the throttle which is surprising given the 71mm compressor, however it is very subjective (using the arse dyno) but my 3076 feels a little stronger here. Nevertheless it is very impressive and will have a very very fat midrange once it has more boost crammed in. The E85 has improved this car everywhere IMO.

The drivability of Mick's car is very impressive which is a credit to the tuner and the setup generally. :thumbsup:

Dale I think it will go to about 335ish.

I'd also like to thank Mick for blowing a hose on my car and then fretting that he had done some damage....lol.

Thanks for the kind words Andy its good getting to drive a different set up car real world comparisons are a much better way to judge setups than dyno sheets :thumbsup:

Our cars do feel very similar in the way the power is delivered be very interesting to see how our cars performed side by side

Sorry bout that hose mate glad i only owe you a new hose clamp and not a new engine... lol

so what is the power delivery like? second and third gear? does it throw you in the seat and you see stars ?

I never floor my car from 1st - 2nd but when ya mash the noise pedal in 2nd it will plant you in the seat bout 3700-3800rpm and pulls real hard to 7200 and it just hits 110kph 3rd gear is very much the same to give you an idea i opened her up in 3rd last nite and at maybe 120-130kph hit a bit of uneven road not really a pot hole but kind of a dip and she started to break traction haha feels unreal!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
