Hey Peeps,

Just thought Id post up my experience with DVS JEZ last night.

I have had my car off the road for a year after deciding to do an overhaul and cleanup, but as things always go I have had to get the car going as it is needed for daily duties for a while.

Last week I got in contact with DVS JEZ and explained to him my situation and that I needed a tune done on my new mods fairly quickly as I am a little pressed for time. He was able to book out a dyno and fit me in last night so off I drove up to the central coast for what we thought would be a quick 2 hour tune.

For the first couple of runs all was good and and it seemed that we were going to have an easy night, then the trouble started >_<

Every time we ramped up the car it wasnt getting full boost till around 4300+ rpm and was making a massive 140odd rwkw......"WOW, the thousands of dollars spent really have paid off" we joked and started the process of tracking down what was causing the power loss and massive lag.

So we at first thought the wastgate wasnt holding closed so we took the dump of to have a look, if any of you have seen how the Pro S kit is put together you would realise this is NOT an easy task. We found what we though was a little bit of a dodgy seal on the Wastgate flap but JEZ was concinced that this wasnt the cause of our problem.

Off went the cat, and even though it lookied ok we straight away gained heaps of power every where so that was the culprit. After it was fixed we spent the next couple of hours fine tuning and I couldnt be happier with the results

277kw @18 psi with plenty more in but we thought being a daily for now and as the weather is getting hotter it was really nice and safe at this level.

I cannot thank JEZ (and Boydy) :worship: enough for the time and effort they put in last night, we were up there tuning till 1am and the guys were more than happy to finish the job, even when I offered to let them just rough it up for now and then we can finish it off later.

I am so impressed with his workmanship and the way he explained everything to me as he went along, made me feel very comfortable leaving my pride and joy in his hands.

And as for the HKS Huffer, all I can say is......WOW What a turbo, this thing just is so dam responsive and has power everywhere, Im glad i searched for so long to get iit and didnt settle for anythging else, IMO HKS can really justify the heavy price tag.

Anyway enough babbling and time for the list of mods and the dyno sheet.

Thanks guys, I just cant get over how smooth and responsive this turbo feels.

It actually gets onto boost better than my HG highflow, btw Hamish we were referencing your graph last night when we first had dramas so thanks man haha

WOW what a night, glad we worked through the little issue's, cause once they were sorted the power was appearing more and more,

277kw without reaching the knock limit of the motor on only 18psi, i am very impressed with the setup u have built dave, all the hard work u have put into it really shows.

One of the nicest engine bays i have seen, I can't believe how cool the plenum was after continous runs, The Craved coatings work a treat.

Then the road test. Dave was nice enough to let me take his car for a squirt up the road, makes mince meat of his semi slicks with near stock response. 16psi at 3100 was very impressive.

E85 would be good to see next, well once its more readily available and ur little 555cc injectors have been upgraded

Made mince meat of the slicks a few times on the way home too Jez ;)

Hope your boss was ok with you having such a late night.

I was having a chuckle to my mate this morning on how careful you were being around the bay so as to not scratch the coatings.

You were right about the cai too man, gave it a bootfull on mooney mooney bridge from a slow start at the bottom in forth and it kind of choked up at around 5k for a second, you could definately tell it wasn't getting enough air.

I'll make the hole 3 or 3.5 inch

Sounds about right. I can hold 0.8bar to redline on low boost. It's good if the gf drives it :P but then even on that boost it's quick LOL.

Im thinking a little more preload on the actuator might stop these turbos falling off boost high in the revs. Every dyno sheet over 18psi does it :(

Was plenty of preload, around 8mm atleast. Had a prick of a time getting it back on.

How was the hks heatshield aye. The bracket bolts to the the top dump pipe flange and looks like it stops the wastegate flapper arm from opening completely

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
