i had more of a look at the manifold and noticed it has some extra welding in some places so not sure if it has been modified in any way.

looking at the graph the boost drop is around 1.2psi or so.. i mean is that a bad drop in boost compared to what others have seen out there?

and when you say it could be a badly setup boost controller is this caused by long vacuum lines?

1psi isnt bad at all.

Our race car engine drops about 4psi after 4800.

Its all easily fixed by having a good electronic boost controller that is configured to help maintain the desired boost pressure which can be a little fiddly to setup properly at times. So long as the mechanical side is spec'd and operating correctly then there is no reason it shouldnt be maintaining target pressure.

hey guys,

i got the motor back together and the car is now at JEM getting a E85 tune.

what ive done is;

replaced crank and bearings (ACL's)

balanced balancer, crank, flywheel, pressure plate

Ross harmonic balancer

checked head stud tensions

new timing pulley

new intake gasket

new turbo manifold gasket

New HKS intake camshaft

Used VCT intake cam gear

decat pipe

external to atmosphere

E boost2 controller

NPC custom single plate clutch

shortened intercooler pipes

relocated blow off valve

new tensionors timing belt

Id1000cc injectors

2x bosch 044 fuel pumps

4 litre surge tank

Dash 8 fuel supply line

let see what this little GT35R with the 0.82 hotside can pump out on E85..

It's most likely due to 250rpm increments it's looks more wavey than normal 500rpm increment

nah mine plots every 50rpm and that sine type wave is an issue with boost controller or boost control plumbing to gate. Blitz boost controolers do that if it is just clipping the overboost setting.

generally spikes in solenoid duty cycle cause it..

after weeks sitting in there shop now they tell me the head needs to come off to be line honed..

surely they could see on the old cam shaft was damaged when they first took it out over a week ago.......

anyways im not happy at the moment

whoever built this motor has put a bearing at the front on the inlet camshaft, which the clearances where not 100% correct & the VCT gear was loose on the camshaft dowe also.

so we put a HKS drop in camshaft on the intake side and new VCT gear, we had the NEW camshaft machined to suit the front bearing modification that was done.

as they were installing new camshaft they noticed that the camshaft was tight around cap number 3 and said it needs to be line honed which means head offf :(

i went down there today straight from work and im hoping a nice polish on the cam cap etc should loosing it up enough to get the correct clearances.

dont wanna sound like a noob but what clearances are recommended just so i can double check there work?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
