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 :)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
