Pretty good to be honest! Had a good chat with him and he said all my work was absolutely bang on which is really reassuring to here as I have no mechanical background! Just someone who is keen to learn :)

Only issue so far is small fuel leak from the hose that runs from the tank kid to the hardline. Replaced that it's all sweet.

Every few runs he keeps getting out to tighten the straps down as it keeps walking off the dyno haha :)

So keen to see your opinion of your first drive when you get it back. I would love to do this one day and just have a ridiculously quick street car that's basically always on boost. Been following this for a while, I hope all your hard work pays off for you mate.

Cheers

Can't believe how close you guys were haha. Check that tractive effort, it's pretty much dead flat and you really feel it when you drive, it just gets up and goes as soon as you hit the loud pedal.

Cam timing is still slightly out I assume due to the 25/30 situation. Revved it to 7000 on the dyno and it just kept making power as you can see. But I requested the rev limiter be dropped back so soft cut is 6600.

I'm absolutely stoked with how it drives right now, feels so aggressive and torquey everywhere.

Will give it a while and go back and play with the cam timing and give it another 10psi and see what happens :)

No target. The engine will only ever make what it wants to. I don't really care about big numbers, I just want to be able to skid 4th haha.

Speaking of that, need to source a 4.11 diff, has a 4.3 in it at the moment.

4.08 ratio is what I've put in my R32... Another option for you.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
