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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
