the annoying thing about jewellery is that they can charge whatever the f**k they want for something and make up whatever bullshit, and 95% of everyone dont know any different.

Yep. Bought a ring for 4 grand (got $200 discount) 2 weeks later the same ring was on sale for 2 grand.

thus why you get an independent valuation of the stone..

got the GIA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemological_Institute_of_America) prior to purchasing the stone.

valuation came in about 5-6K more than payed for it.

the jeweler discounted massively if you get him to make one, as he knows it not going to sit in the window for 12 months wasting him money and maybe need a redesign or be in a sale.

first time ever custom cheaper than off the shelf

pretty happy all in all.

Rebuilt engine.

+5kw, 500rpm earlier response... 10 degrees less timing... and 10 PSI less boost.

I should immediately put car up for sale

But I won't, because it would feel wrong for anyone else to break it

Ummm did you run it in? Same turbo?

...10psi goddamn

Obviously forgot to rebuild your head...

Sell it!

Good work, post up dyno graph?

Is the engine still being 'choked' by the turbro?

guys, sometimes i dont understand how f**king stupid some people can be.
im in the office doing some quotes, all the doors are closed, gates are locked shut.
dude just rocked up.
called the lane line- no answer, called me, no answer. then tried to push the gate open.....
omg this shit makes my hair hurt.

I can't actually post up the dyno graph because it kills Trent's dyno when trying to do a proper pull.

I'll have to try it on a roller dyno ;)

But I would like to confirm, cause if someone on the forums said they made 408kw (in a manual) at 21 psi (the dyno's gauge) on a GTX3076, with 225rwkw at 3000rpm you would quite rightly think u f**kin w0t m8? And laugh them off the forums.

(yes I ran the engine in beforehand.. my life is empty and I can afford to do 1300run in kms during the week)

Tony coming to Sandown day?

Probably not, my engine isn't where its supposed to be atm

Haha yeah hard about that!

Nah dont doubt your power figures, just curious what its like up top if its still like your previous graph, kinda showing that you have a turbo restriction.

But then again bigger turbo and youll have a million killer wasps which you probably dont want!

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
