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 :)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
