yeah my mate also has an evo - 8 mr & that had 300awkw, best way to describe it was like a little angry bulldog...very quick, nimble & changes direction like a go kart...it acutally converted me as i was looking at buying an evo a couple yrs back but i couldnt let my old 32 slide :)

as for pauls car, it seems like he did the rounds yesterday :)

he offered the keys to me as i let him drive my rb30dett when i had it done BUT tbh, that back right wheel scared the hell out of me mate - i was so intrigued so i had to take his offer as a passenger.

so ive been in DARDVL back in 2004 when my mate at Autostyle owned it (over 450awkw with a naaasty t88), my 3ltr which had 405awkw, another mate of mine bought a new r35 which was pure engineering & then there is pauls car...this sperm whale is hard to describe as i didnt feel any lag or 'off boost' as the revs ramp up. those 10.5" wheels struggle & offer no traction at all in 2nd gear. it is body altering, my stomach felt upside down & all of my upper muscles were tense during & after the drive - it was all smiles for me.

the funny thing is whenever u stepped on it, u had to turn it 1/4 turn to the right - i know that the back wheel was out of alignment but this was the same as Domonic Russo's yellow r32 gtr which was making 650awkw where he had to counter steer to keep it straight.

The whole steering angle thing I'm sure is just the rear right pointing in the wrong direction. When in RWD, it'll spin but hold DEAD STRAIGHT.

Marko, we will try again after the new suspension goes in ;)

i'll be waiting - thought about putting a cage in it (for added safety)?

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
