So, car is getting dropped off to Jez this coming Saturday. Needless to say I'm pretty keen.

Brief run down, Xspurt 1000cc, Walbro fuel pump, Z32 AFM. I was originally planning to fit a Hypergear SS2, but decided the slight power increase wasn't worth the coin. Plus I really enjoy the responsiveness of the current high flow that is fitted. Hypergear rates them to ~260rwkw which should still be nice and fun.

After discussions I have also opted to change from the PowerFC to a Nistune. There is something else worth mentioning here, but I'll wait until it's done, unless someone can guess :ninja:

A friend at the hill climbs also finally posted up the video of my "tyre warmup procedure" haha.

Haha, nice :laugh: .

At the Hillclimb I did, you were only permitted to 'clean the tyres', and you got kicked off for 'doing a burnout' :closedeyes: .

Whats the difference? :rolleyes:

^^ This. Lol.

That video was on my last run but I had done pretty much the same the last run. My 'warmups' gradually got bigger each time haha.

So the car has been with Jez since last Saturday, and I am picking it up this coming Saturday.

Battery has been relocated to the boot.

New intake piping has been made up.

Injectors, fuel pump (direct feed wired up), and Z32 AFM have all been installed.

Nistune board is installed in the stock ECU and the car is on the dyno today with a fresh set of plugs and a new fuel filter :D

Ok guys car came off the dyno yesterday afternoon.

I'm pretty happy with the results. Peak power was 238.5rwkw at 18.6psi dropping to 16.2psi. The turbo was literally running out of puff and couldn't push anymore power, which is evident by the fact it made 237.4rwkw at 16psi haha. The car also made 203.8rwkw at 10psi, which is the same power it was making when the original owner tuned the car with the stock turbo at 15psi lol. The car also made 610nm of torque which I was surprised about and pretty damn happy with.

Cheers guys.

Good results but I thought Stao said his new highflows made way more power than that.

Is this an older version or something Timmy?

I have owned the the car for roughly 2 years and the high flow was done 6 months prior to me purchasing the car.

When I messaged Stao he suggested it would be good for up to 260rwkw as we are under the assumption that it was the original OP6 turbo that was high flowed and refitted, I have nothing to confirm this though unfortunately. Jez said he recently tuned an OP6 high flow in a car running United 100 octane to 270rwkw so they are obviously capable. Being in the dark with the turbo it's hard to know. I was hoping to hit the 250kw mark, but it is still a responsive 240kw and has more torque than I was expecting, which will be more important for me really with entering NSW Hill Climb Champs next year :)

So, picked up the car on Saturday, pretty happy with how it performs, nice and responsive, sounds much nicer and has a bit of a rough sounding idle which is cool. Also, most high rpm gear shifts pop and sometimes shoot flames lol.

Anyway, after the 9 hour round trip to get my car, the inevitable happened once I got home.

For the first time ever, I was pulled over for a "random" vehicle inspection :(

The cops were from Armidale, being all the way out here because it was the Bathurst race weekend.

Luckily I received no fines, apparently because of my good attitude, but the car was defected for unenclosed pod, too low, and wheels protruding from the guards. Anyway, now I have 14 days (minus 2) to get the car to pass a full inspection/blueslip. Best/worst birthday lol. Happy times :'(

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...
