Lol...

Cross weight is for getting left and right turning the same (use front left and right rear to get %). It's used to jack coil overs to equal cross.

to get rear need just find the difference of 100%.

58.4% FRONT

41.6% REAR

You guys are funny!

And I just though about the boost...probably some nitwit cut those wire in the harness somewhere to install boost control in past. I'm about to go run new ones straight from ecu

What was wrong with boost? Solenoid not controlling properly?

Haltech wouldn't controI because it wasn't getting the boost solenoid wiring back to it. just finished running wires from ecu though. Apparently someone cut the wires to install an ebc because the wires to the solenoid did not get signal back to ecu pins. It's all good now though. Made use of one of those MAF wires I wasn't using ;) repinned ecu wire 27 (Front MAF signal) to 25 (Boost control solenoid ground) and then used the MAF 12v switched as a supply for the solenoid...I'm sure it will work now.

Going to try to get base duty dialed in for 10 and 12 psi then tweak closed boost mode from there. Based on my tests the other night I should be up in the 18-20 psi range even on medium actuator if the solenoid is up for bleeding the boost. But I'm bringing tools to tighten the arm in case.

As fast as this car is at 10 I can't wait for 20!

Fyi the EFR solenoid is marked + and - in the plastic. You run 12v to the + and the ecu grounds the - on a pulsed duty cycle to bleed. Closed loop actually starts at your set duty cycle then adjusts to actual boost. Basically I never had it wired up.

VERY close!

3175 lbs --> 1440 kg

58.4% front

49.7% cross weight.

Is that full weight or with stuff stripped out, and are there side impact bars, being an early model perhaps not?

I thought it would have been in the 1500's range for sure...

Full weight. No jack, spare, floormats, or stereo (but speakers are in doors). AC PS and all still 100% on car.

Just got done with tuning session one and went out to enjoy the car. I will need efr high pressure wastegate because I couldn't get stable boost on top end (dropped to 16.5 psi) so I was stuck with only 464 rwhp. But oh my goodness does this car just own all driving it around. What an INCREDIBLE car and incredible powerband. I didn't have time to get timing and all right because I was fighting with boost so much.

The red graph one finally had boost flattened out in the dip but knocked a touch in the top. Again no timing changed off of haltech base map yet.

10 psi was 375 whp.

Again missing boost threshold

Heres my data.

First tune, ran out of dyno time. Fought boost control for a long time then just went to open loop on Haltech. I should have played with that more before dynoing. Boost on graph is PSI * 10 (for scaling purposes) and is straight from the log. It literally rained while we dyno'd so 100% humidity and 83 deg F ambient.

This is STOCK Haltech timing advance (untouched). Only would knock at 20 psi at 4400 rpms during spike. I'm DEFINITELY losing boost response on this because the logs with the wastegate hose pulled are showing 21 psi at 4100 rpms (as opposed to my lazy 4400 that was kinda of spiking at first).

Anyway, pumpgas 93 (with the 10% ethanol they have in my area).

2.75L BC stroker

New N1 block 86mm bores

6boost manifold - divided for IWG EFR

ported head

SS +.5mm valves

squish pads removed

Hypertune V2

stock intercooler

I WILL be ordering the high boost cannister and getting boost leveled out at 16-17 psi for base and using closed loop for tuning. CAR IS AN ABSOLUTE ANIMAL!!!

I bet it has 130 mph in it right now!

Also it should be noted on STOCK intercooler I'm seeing 115 deg F when hammering through the gears (all the way through 4th) on the highway. It was AT LEAST 125 on the dyno every pull. Air temps drop drastically when on it...ironically they increase while you cruise (or sit in traffic). Makes sense as all that is moving is IDLE air. But under load at 18 psi and this power level the stock intercooler is keeping up well so far. Temps pretty much drop the whole time you are in boost. NICE EFFICIENT TURBO HELPS I AM SURE!!

Not much to update. Busy doing other things today.

I did, however, take an hour to make a heat shield for the turbine housing. I wanted to protect my powdercoating.

    • Scenic roads, stunning skylines, and Chickos to finish it off! Join SAU NSW as we cruise through the Royal National Park and along Lawrence Hargrave Drive to Figtree! Sunday 26th October 2025 4:30PM Meeting Waterfall Station Parking 5:00PM Cruise Departure Royal National Park > Lawrence Hargrave Dr > Memorial Dr > Sid Parrish Park 6:15PM Arrival at Sid Parrish Park Figtree Meet Location: Waterfall Station Parking Final Destination: Sid Parrish Park RSVP: https://forms.gle/E4s5SiRKQfDdypky8 *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
