well the surprise was a T51R!
it was almost ready to tune but decided to buy the HKS T51R KAI BB as ive always liked the sound and thought its time to put a single and start having some fun!

So tuner had to take off turbos again and put T51R on, its almost done, taking a little bit longer than I expected but needed to fabricate dump pipe, plumb the screamer into the dump pipe, once finished should be wiring in haltech and ready for a tune.

expecting it be finished real soon.

in other news I have a 4000km old twin turbo setup and some parts as you can see that only ever got bolted on and never used all up for sale :D

more to follow in the next few days

The Car then made its way onto the DYNO where a leak in the inlet manifold gasket was found, so it got replaced with a NITTO Gasket and back on it went.
first was a tune on 98 @ 16psi and made 317kw we left that as the 98 tune as the car was going to be set up with FLEX TUNE and mostly run on E85.
the car then pushed 380kw @ 21.5psi on E85.

It's a little bit laggy compared to the -5s but you can feel the car build the power and the power delivery is amazing! Compared the 2 the t51 comes on boost later but it still has a feelin of torque in the midrange but it's a lot more dinner to drive and it feels a lot better to drive aswell the power delivery between gears are faster than the -5's overall happy with the decision to change. The twin turbo setup felt lazy and sluggish where the big single feels free and open if that makes sense

Cool. always interesting to hear how the car feels vs the dyno considering power and tourque are lower down low...good feedback! Must come on pretty strong!

Good point about performence between gears. I guess the power/torque differential down low isn't an issue between gears because you're in the higher range on shifts so you're net/net higher on both power and torque while you're hammering vs -5s.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
