it's a 25/30... so it could have anything inside...

it's realistically no different to saying "my blown LS9 makes over 300"

Dont sat that or we will have Captain Natro in here next :P

lolz at LS9 needing a blower to make over 300

Cmon Matt we all know capt natro don't have shit...

True! I shall uppercut myself for the comment!

Mat are you the current unopened record holder in this thread?

I dont think so? Surely there are higher results with 35r's etc?

Ill have a crack at the record tho :O

don't you have cams Mat..im pretty sure cams were allowed anyway, it wasn't a decision I agreed with though.. to me Unopened means unopened.

I took my cam covers off once to paint them but thats as opened as it got, everything else is as it left the factory..

How much do you think the cams are adding to your power figure?

But yeah I always have thought of cams as a bolt on, albeit pretty much the last one you can do before cracking her open.

With a direct comparison to my car we found the cams added around 10-12kw to the identical car and mods..... So not a huge increase. Mid range is meaty though!

In most cases when raving about turbocharged stock motor power numbers cams have been accepted as an acceptable upgrade. The turbo itself will have a much bigger affect on airflow and power levels and no one raises an eyebrow at that one. What the bottom end has held together for is the magic, for me :) Especially if not a nuke...

I seem to remember some guy years back that came on here with the username "LNEMUP" or something to that effect and was crowing about this crazy 700hp+ monster turbo stock 25 he had.

He basically took every question people asked about his setup being legit personally, got into tons of e-beefs with everyone on the thread and then subsequently got banned or something.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
