Nah not boydy dude, THE BOSS. The mrs, the minister for war and finances etc etc

Thanks Cal, it is an awesome turbo I'm pretty stoked with it. Having said that though I think the total package with the plazmaman has a lot to do with it too.

.................................Plus the tuner :)

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

lol no worries

Injectors won't handle it I'm afraid. Hamish' 555's are freakish

yeah, i'm not sure what the go is there...

Removing the cat??????? Dunno what your talking about :) :)

Yeh solved all the dramas, it looked sweet as when we looked through it, but when we had it out Boydy gave it a shake and you could hear it rattling around.

It was the tuners decision to "fix" it.

Told you I'd blame you Jez ;)

Never had a cf coil cover, got a billet vented one from the states that Craved coated. I have a cf radiator air guide thingy but I'm having all kinds of trouble getting a nice fit on it so I'm gonna get the sander out, also have a cf bonnet but it's fouling on the strut brace so it's been swapped for the factory one, probably a blessing in disguise cause it will be my daily for a bit so it's more stealth standard. Looks bloody nice though.

Dave finally gets car tuned.. :banana:

So clarify for me, removing the cat solved everything?

What happened to the CF coil cover..?

Yep. Its a highflow cat now. 1cell.

1st run made 210kw and had a slight ping.

2nd run made 93kw with less timing

3rd run more boost 145kw

Then started the diagnosing. Dropped exh from front of cat and made 195 with low timing but still a little laggy.

So we pulled the dump pipe off and it looked like the wastegate flap wasnt sealing, so abit of emery paper cleaned it up.

Now the boost was nice and responsive and we could start tuning

Congratulation to you and more to your tuner. I'm really happy to read this. That's some thing when a experienced tuner with the correct knowledge whom can diagnostic the problem and rectify it on the spot.

Those tuners can get you the result or at least pin point the problem that will make the difference. Some other tuners would tell you to go home with 210rwkws.

At one stage I thought I was going home with 90kw

Wouldve given a hyundia Getz a bloody good run though.....

But in all seriousness I don't think Jez was going to let me leave until it made the numbers.

He is very dedicated to getting the tune right

Got the car cleaned up and I'm ready for the show in the morning, also got the cooling panel on after much sanding and drilling.

If anyone in Sydney is around Liverpool in the morning come by and say gday.

Corner of the Hume and memorial ave.

I'm going to bed.

Congrats on the results! Thats great you guys found the problem and sorted it out there and then and got it tuned! At that time I know alot of people would just give up and leave it for another day!

Top effort!

Thanks Michael,

Jez and Boydy deserve all the credit on this one. I'm good at bolting everything together and basic trouble shooting but Jez is pretty switched on and was suspicious of the cat very early on.

I probably confused him a bit by saying that km wise it was not very old (the car is off teh road more than on lol)

Had a good drive of it today for a car show and man it goes good, I'm very happy with the setup. I can't fault this turbo one bit.

I'm sure the tune is also a big part of it though :)

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
