Came across a fella on another forum today who reckoned he was making 300kw/400hp on 16 pounds with these :D Gave me the lol's

dont laugh, my mate is making 286kw @ 14.5psi with gt-ss

Hmmm interesting. But then and again I was making about 350hp with the ceramics at about 1 bar. I guess that with awesome turbos and an equally awesome tuner these crazy figures are possible.

Also, according to that chart flowing around the twin -9's are rated at about 560ps...but I'm pretty sure that's taken at the engine??? So if you were to account for drive train loses....you'd be getting back down to somewhere around the 480-500 mark. (don't know the conversion factor for ps to hp of the top of my head either....but i think they're fairly closer, a lot closer than hp to kw)

why only 14.5psi?

Very true that one!

Anyone know what the -9 / GTSS sweet spot is....ie, their zone of peak efficiency? I'm guessing it would lie somewhere around the 18 mark as mine go beserk there....

Did he tune it?

what gear is your new dyno run done in? I assume all tuneres use same gear, as max kw at 170kph dosent sound to practical, I pretty much wanna know power in 2nd or 3rd gear at 6k rpm....if thoes sort of graphs are even avalibe? I haven't looked to much into the dyno grqph side of things yet

You cant be serious

Different cars use a different gear on the dyno for a 1:1 drivetrain ratio

Dafaq?

6k rpm at wot and max boost will see the same power no matter what gear it's in

Like i said, I assume, as im not sure, you did not answer my question, let's just say anything over 110 is useless, your dyno shows about 150 kw at 110....like I said not surw how these things work/read

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • 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.
