ok i changed the duty on the boost controller, was testing it in 3rd gear, crusing on 3000rpm and then flooring it to 4000rpm, managed to get upto 1.1bar, i think this must be getting close to normal?

  • 1 month later...

im back baby!!! lol.... :woot:

just tuned with some flex fuel today and i think the gtx has earned its place under the bonnet finally... 20psi by 4000rpm, thats what i was after so happy finally, idle is smooth too now

added upto 6degree of timing all over the map and was mind boggling how good the flex fuel has made the setup.. even tuner was amazed.. on the drive back to the shop it easily fried 2nd , more like a burnout in second and third pulled so hard it was getting frightening lol.... :laugh:

320kw with flex fuel on 16psi , i think that might makes the gtx not too shabby...it spikes early but it is 16psi that makes that power unless im reading it wrong. It could have done bit more but with stock bottem end was not wanting to lean on things too much.. so im really happy with this result, no more than 20 knock on the power fc so is very safe too...

anyway, what do you guys think.. is this dyno respectable? do you think this dyno justifies the gtx or would the gt of been even better??? :happy:

320kw dyno printout 22222

Edited by SliverS2

it was from caltex so ill just fill up from caltex , theres 7 servo's within 30min drive so hopefully they are all similar ethanol content, tuner said to keep an eye on the knock level and he can adjust the mixture if theres any knock issues, so far its very low knock... dam this fuel smells good.. mm :yes:

320 @ 16psi is nice :)

screw 25psi into that bastard and see what it will do. Im guessing 350 is not out of the question

yeah i know, ill leave that to someone else lol... i just wanna enjoy driving it for a while, only been driven a few times in the last 8months..

im still giggling at the drive home from the dyno... lol .. this is how these cars should be.. frying the tyres up in second easy.. :yes:

yeah i think 320kw with stock engine is enough for me, and 16psi must be very safe so it should last a while hopefully... its 20psi in the midrange so im not missing out on too much i dont think..

very happy with it yeah... even idles smoother now and not jerky, very smooth and comes on boost alot better... :yes:

anyway, what do you guys think.. is this dyno respectable? do you think this dyno justifies the gtx or would the gt of been even better??? :happy:

It looks pretty good now and it is great to hear you are happy with it. It's great when you finally get your car to its potential. It sounds like some suspension changes and tyres are in order.

I reckon a GT would have been a better performer by coming on earlier and would easily make that power level with E85.

I have my old GT3040 sitting in the garage and they seem to be pretty much the same as a GTX3076 but it just needs to find a home and some E85 to prove or disprove it.

At least the GTX compressor would be in the middle of it's efficiency, plenty more in it though. I got 350kw at 25psi to give you some idea of it's potential. I wouldn't be surprised if there was 400kw in it on a perfect setup.

thanks for the replies,

It would definitely hit atleast 350kw i think, but i think for my budget and for a street car it is at a point of being just a nice package, im not sure bout fitting better tyres yet, seems like too much fun to fry them up at will, i guess if you were being picky and wanted perfection, the gt would of shifted the power band to the left a bit but its done now..

when i bought the car with 200kw, it sounded doughy and lazy like alot of them you see on the road, now it clearly sounds unique and has a strong and angry note to it.. even just light throttle letting the revs climb , it sounds like dog flarring its teeth... :yes:

thanks mate.. would of been a bit lost without your DIY top feed thread... :thumbsup:

dont know if gtx is the way to go though, lol... that extra 500rpm or so response that a gt might give would be a good improvement..

Its internal gate that's the beauty..the amount. Of messin about I have gone through to make my kando fit and its struggling after 300kws..this is a much easier option..

But hey, I like to keep my local fabricators busy. ;)

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
