HE checked it all its pretty easy to check as he has the afm in the cooler piping

so he is checking it to make sure its all good

looks pretty perfect cant complain for the price as it didnt cost extra to bolt on and made the same power less 3-4kw of his gt3071

i ran a poorly built monsta t3 about 5 years ago lasted 3 and a half yeaers on 17psi before i sold the car and upgraded ive seen alot of people run turbos off ebay there seems to be more people having problems with cheap inlet manifold and highmounts over turbos

but this turbo doesnt look like many people on here have tried it YET :)

It sounds too good.

He bought an eBay turbo, with a tune for a completely different turbo, bolted up perfectly and ran it, WITHOUT TUNING IT, and made 260rwkw. That is more power than I am making at the moment with a bigger turbo, more boost and a full tune.

he has been giving it a really hard time and no signs of wear of shaft play YET but we will wait and see

lol @ checking for wear and shaft play after less than 24 hours of it being installed... :rofl2:

MOST AWESOME POST EVER ON SAU. Nearly pissed myself laughing

Yet he's considering spending what will likely end up being ~$700 on a temp turbo?

WTF?

Cutting spending on education clearly isn't working. Then again, someone has to fit my tyres....

For the moment, have to call bulls***, as much as i'm for a good cheap deal, this one seems too cheap and too good, and the graph looks like it was done with excel....

If he's actually done it, f*** yeah and well done. full tune and more boost should make ~300rwkw? Good work.

hahaha excel i dont even know how to use word lol

its all legit nothing has been done to alter the reading its a real dyno read from his car with this $400 bolt on turbo

i guess everyone can say what they like at the end of the day its not my car

he wanted to test it and its proven to be really good

y dont others off here try the same if you doubt it

after all its only $400 and could always sell the turbo to the guys on calaisturbo or r31 club

i wonder who else s face palming them selves arfet a 400 turbo tuned for a different turbo makes decent power

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
