Lol yeah mate big sigh for us both im hoping i might get the time to fab myself up a new cooler pipe tomorrow and if not i will get into it Saturday im gunna piss off that shit pipe that runs behind the radiator and shorten the run to the throttle body up! im gunna come up with something to pressure test my setup too gunna block off my turbo outlet and the pipe before the throttle body and put 35psi of compressed air into it and got to town with a bottle of soapy water to check for leaks so i know for a fact the bitch is gunna be right for next time haha! Glad ya got to have some fun in the beast tonight anyways jase lol all i got was more work for myself haha

Bugger, that sucks!

What is the rest of the setup on the car again? Is it a stock mount turbo etc?

Jason, not bad result still - would have been nice to see how it went with VCT etc though. How does it compare with the old car?

Yeah bit of a bugger lithium but got today off work more or less so im gunna fab up my new pipework and chase these damn leaks today so ill post some pics up of my new setup tonight when im done

DW I feel like a half arsed POS too lol, I now need to decide do I buy a new VCT actuator for $450 or do I buy Brian Crower cams for under $400 delivered......... Tough choice.

Accordingly to Jezzup fixing the VCT wont warrant a retune but changing cam profile will warrant a retune. I also have NON VCT DE cams and gears I could whack in, cheapest option with a minor touch up on the tune..

Pretty happy with the result all things considered, the dyno sheet is on FB already if you wanna have a stalk.

The old setup (more or less the same but with a DET rather than a DE and also made 200kw) was a lot more sluggish. This comes on rather lively and definitely is happy to go. But for some reason high load (ie on highway) it seems to hunt a little bit when trying to accelerate between 2000 and 4000rpm.

I can only think it is attributed to the lack of VCT, and I'm hoping I'm not wrong. Am looking into cam specs between S13 and S15 DE's (i have a set of S13 DE cams at home to whack into my S15 DE motor if need be as stated prior).

Le sigh lol

Come on Simon. People dont fudge figures in sydney :rolleyes:

We Western Australian's do it all the time, we just didn't realise that you eastern staters were smart enough to work it out :whistling:

The best thing about is we have rigged our drag strip as well so our mph matches the power :nyaanyaa:

f**king LOL at huge reading plus "Temperature Probe Fault"!

Dyno Dynamics correction would be loving that :)

so a temperature probe fault gives higher readings? :unsure:

should ask my tuner to give me a faulty higher reading so i can join the 300rwkw clubz

i dont think its too unrealistic considering the factors involved

- we know these turbos really get going when you pump big boost through them

- 27psi would make a big difference compared to the standard 18-20psi... especially on the GTX series

- e85 is in the mix... ~15% more power right there

even it you take 25kw off the number.. 350kw is still very impressive

Lol Simon.

Dori yes that is how alot of people fudge numbers. PT have had that issue for years, they say it doesnt affect readibg

oh ok, well i've found out from a few ppl (including myself) that it is in fact true,

dyno run on theirs, read 20kw higher when tested on other dynos.

I don't think it's unrealistic power figure either... But does it actually make that power is another question :cheers:

if we take into account the whole dyno isnt reading right arguement then i dont see why it wouldnt actually make 350kw all day everyday

Epic, running 30psi?

edit: Running 12.1 afr??? hax

more details for us newbies please :)

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
