Hey there,

Well, It seems some people have "doubts" :bs!: to my claim of 272rwkw, and would like to see the dyno sheet..

And about the ratings, YES the 2540 is stated at quite a low ps figure, as several members stated above... So As you Can Imagine I was quite suprised :( , I believe a lot of it comes down to tuning skill, you can have 50K of Mods under your bonnet, but unless it is configured properly, you are wasting your time/money

The guy who did the tuning, has built several tough cars (He has a 8sec beast) ,

Enough Yap :) , You got the Dyno Sheet???

I finally got it scanned in :rant: but The limit is quite small, about 100KB (The Original Hir Res pic was almost 300K)..., SO I had to Downsize it and whack the colour down, Its not too pretty, I can E-mail out a High Res one if anybody wants, but this should give you an idea...

Hi guys, it does the usual 2540 stuff, no boost to speak of until 3,000 rpm, then everything happens in 600 rpm. This is fairly representative for the large compressor on 2540's. Then they start to drop off (can't hold boost) over 5,000 rpm. This is representative of the small (compared to he compressor) turbine. They have this narrow zone from 3,600 rpm to 5,000 rpm where they work well, anything under that and they feel flat and over that the power drops off because of the exhaust restriction.

But 272 rwkw is a bit more than I have ever seen from a 2540R, HKS rate them at 360 ps plus 10% being for the usual HKS conservative rating = 400 ps or 300 kw. Less the usual 50 rwkw for transmission losses = 250 rwkw. That's about the best I have seen, from a 2540R at 1.3 bar on an RB25 running Optimax. Plus that RB25 was fully tuned, cams, porting, compression, split dump, Apexi FMIC etc.

Is there something missing from your car specs Mose? Like fuel? Compression ratio? Oversize pistons? Cams? Maybe a larger turbine inside the standard cover? I am perplexed as to why this one is a fair bit better than most.

As far as I am aware It is tuned on Optimax (He recommends octane booster for High Boost - 18psi) It suprised me as well.. although the dyno chart speaks for itself, you will notice that the turbo is running at its peak, It simply cant push anymore... I was initally concerned with this (ie - Are the extra kw's worth the extra strain, but HKS Turbos are built tough {not indestuctible though} and providing the turbo is allowed to cool down/warm up, it should be okay) Of course If I run high boost constantly, Im asking for trouble.. I rarely hit high boost (I rarely drive the car, as It is for sale and I am keeping the K's down)

your power figure does seem extraordinary as mentioned by sydneykid, but you have the dyno sheet: dyno dynamics dyno, and in shootout mode, which im led to believe makes it comparable to any other run done in the same mode.

great result! your turbo must have some special gizzards but :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
