Nah I love how stock my engine looks and what the car can do considering that. Twas my goal to make it as quick and stock looking as possible. Ex gates and big turbos ruin that.

Yeah just over 250 on 98

Not a bad hike at all for the money. I wouldn't want much more power; would struggle to put it down. Just took her for a decent spin and faaaaark does she spool up quickly. Boost gauge goes up like a tacho revving in neutral.

I don't care how much more frequently I'll be stopping there, there's something very satisfying about paying $75 for a tank of petrol!

272rwkw @ 16psi on United 85

RacePace "high flow" cat gave me another 10rwkw. So yeah, top end a little disappointing...prolly the small turbo maxing out...along with internal wastegate and a myriad of other "stock" looking restrictions...but the low and mid range are significantly better. I have near stock response with about 130rwkw more than stock. Car sounds beast and the exhaust smell is <3

Happy camper. Will upload graph when I get home :)

dat dere cheeky skate sesh down boronia :P annoying light wet layer hehe

also 270+ is where 33 GTST'S come alive

come at me brahs

been thinking about E85 lately with all the Scotty propaganda going around... only one other pulsar I know on E85 and it hasnt driven the same since (in a neg way, but could come down to tune). only thing that major puts me off is having to carry jerry cans around, i hate doing that.

Why do you need to carry jerry cans? Unless going long distance there are plenty of United servos around Melbourne. I have 4 within 15 mins drive of me :)

Pat do E85 or buy a modified RB25 lol

will suss out e85 supplies in Perth and then get in touch with mr. trent.

Although that means I need larger injectors (currently 555cc's) & fuel pump (currently gtr pump)....

oh nice to know.

Looks like 25kw gain all across the rev range?

Congrats on the power gain.

Looks like ~35kw in some areas.

Pretty good and that's a conservative E85 gain, really, from what I've seen. Second to NOS and boost controllers, best dollar/kw upgrade!

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
