Those that saw my earlier post (Exhausts: noise ='s power) may remember my fuel pump/pressure and leaning out dramas from last weekends dyno session?

Well it turns out I had neither an 044 or 984 Bosch pump! It was the little baby of the Bosch range... the 910. It put up a good effort considering the demand that's been placed on it! I found the box that my pump "supposedly" came out of. It had 984 on it.

The 910 will go to a new home (Shaun's RX7 turbo circuit car - coming soon!) and I now have an 044. I watched it go in, so this time I'm 100% sure I have an 044 :)

After a bit of fuel pressure adjustment, some tuning to suit the new pump and f/pressure, and it was time to see what power it could muster? Shaun richened up the mixtures across the rev range (to keep it nice and safe). Peak torque A/FR is low/mid 11's and top end is 11.8.

Even with the richer mixtures we still made a number of high 290rwkw runs, with a best of 299.1rwkw (401rwhp) It made 298-299 back to back :) I was happy with that so we didn't bother with the magical 300. It was worth stopping short of 300 just to see many people are going to go, "ahhh c'mon just a bit more boost and you would've had it" :( LOL Shaun, Wayne, Craig (MAD DAT Motorsport) and myself crowded around the dyno screen and all went OHHHHH! when it flashed up 299.1. If it had've been 299.9 then I would've been pissed :)

Boost was at ~1.5bar (~22psi)

Thanks Jay :)

Yeah we've been around a while us old timers :) Back in the days when a 200rwkw GTS25t was a big achievement! I won my first ever dyno comp at CAS (now CRD) with a 200+rwkw run. That was ~1999-2000 I think?

These days my power figure isn't much to brag about at all. Look at all these big power monsters on our forums! There's about 6-7 300+rwkw GTS25t at least. Then you've got Adrian (2rismo), Brett (Buster), Chris (Doughboy), GOTBOOST and more that are into the low 12's and 11's!

I'm hoping to run the car at AIR on Sunday (6th) With the Nittos, me getting my shit together, no breakages (PLEASE! - touch wood, metal, plastic and anything else I can get my hands on!!!) I'd love to see a very low 12, high 11 and 120+mph.

Congrats Matt! Look forward to watching ur beast down the track! Ill have my camera there, so put on a good show! ;)

Thanks Mark ;) I'll give it my best shot mate. As long as I drive it home in one piece I'll be happy.

Thanks all :)

Brendan, we thought about dropping the exhaust. I wanted to see how much difference it'd make? But we ran out of time.

Matty - 'Slammed Mobile Guard Rolling' Jeff Hughes 0401 400 005 He is only too happy to travel to wherever you want. As long as he has access to 240V ( to power his heat gun) you can get it done while you're at work. Just make sure your wheel nuts are tight when he's finished :) It shouldn't cost you more than $110 for the rear.

I'm keen to head out there at gates open time if you are Matt? 9am or 10am... it's all good to me.

Bl4ck32,

With your new combo you'll do more than just pass me! How long till we get to see the full power of your beast unleashed?

Thanks Mel :) You could always bring your Nan? I'll could give her a special 'birthday' ride in the car :D

Thats very nice to gain power aswell as richening up the mixtures for saftey! Did Shaun add any timing anywhere on the map?

I'm 99% sure no additional timing was added.

The peak power is mostly unchanged from the other day (~2rwkw). Cooler inlet temps may well have gained the extra rwkw. To be totally honest such a small amount is just as likely to come from tyre to roller diferences, or 0.5psi boost increase. It may have been 22.5 to 22.9psi whereas the other day is was 22.0psi? It all adds up.

The A/FR at peak power has not changed much at all (~0.2) It's peak torque and especially the top end A/FRs that are much safer (11.8 as opposed to 13.0!!!)

The real test will be on the drag strip.

Very nice. It's funny how long these things can take, but you've has a lot of ups and downs with your car for so long. With the same fundamental mechanical package it's gone from 180 to ~300. It's good to have that development and optimisation over time.

BTW....GO THE GARRETT/MICROTECH LEGENDS VS THE TWO LOCAL HKS/POWER FC SLY AND DIRTY ENEMY! The war continues :rofl:

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
