SET WHAT ?, I take it you are joking and pulling my leg ?

If not, Do a Pauline, please explain :/

You know that I know nothing much about modifying cars, only what I have been learning while on SAU. I know more now in 18 months than I ever knew about cars and that is not a lot.

Up until now, I just buy them, drive them, brakes down someone fixes them, it was easy, only had to have the NRMA card with you :)

Sorry Pete, I'm referring to the nitrous setup you should have on the car. Not some other random setting!

See what I mean Ben, I know nothing :)

Get the same kick out of baked beens :/

haha i was kidding about getting RIPS to build the engine...although they do a wicked job.

200hp shot of NOS. YES!

I think that 900NM is going to be a handful anyway.

I was seriously thinking of using RIPS and he was very helpful but as it turns out Sydney was too far :(

Have seen some of the motors CRD have done and they can be very strong.I think he specializes more in the upper range HP , but ?

Have a look on Piglets rebuild, there is a vid of Steve Ka's time attack runs at WTAC 2014, that would get the blood pumping to your low head, haha

If you didn't know but Jhh racing in Qld build great motors as well, just saying...

The motor is fine Ali, just a few touch ups and away we go.

You can see the boost drops off from 24psi @ 150kph to 18.5psi @ 250kph ish, at the 381.7kw mark, there is something wrong with this and it will be checked out and fixed.

I also think there is more to get down low from a different type tune :)

Going off the Dyno Graph, what do you think the KW would have been if it held the 24psi until the 7000rpm.

I maybe wrong and I'm no expert but I think you maybe at your limits of pump fuel, hopefully the e85 tune will give you what your chasing.

CRD build tuff cars and I've witnessed it in person last week. But I feel CRD did that tune for a reason, maybe ask the tuner the question?

Also what is your engine compression ratio?

sounds like your power hungry

You can still get a c63. Oh oh, saw a M6 today. That shit was hot, and sounds so good

If you are practicing to be a DH, you can stop, the Dux you are :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

I might be 100% wrong but I believe it should be better than it is.

So you think the boost should start tapering off at 5000 ish rpm with the mods I have ??

You may be right about the pump fuel, but that does not mean it cannot be better down low, it is not much better than when it was a 2.6 apart from the torque until the turbo kicks in

I have always said that CRD builds tough motors and gets some big HP going.

I asked the question to them 4 days ago why the boost tapers off , I got nothing ?

Anyway, I will have it checked out and we will see what the problem is and fix it very soon. Maybe it will go better , maybe it won't ?????

But it is still fun to drive :)

Gets a massive single and complains about lagg...

Doinitwrong.

Just quietly my poor man's 2.6 made 320kw on pump with -7s..... Soon to be more with e85. Any man's guess as to what it will make... Guessing 350. Maybe more. I'd say the -7s will run out of puff at 350.

For people to say you need e85 for it to work properly should be shot. Unless it's a track build the idea of e85 is great but it's availability makes it mediocre at best. keep in mind I'm only flex tuning it because haltech and it was $200 more than setup on just 98. I will be running 98 most of the time.

If you are not happy with it now, pull the turbo off and go smaller and run less power. E85 will only bandaid the issue and not fix it.

I just had a look at both of your dyno runs, old and new. If piggaz calculations are right they only revved it to about 7250rpm...

Interesting if that's correct? Once again I could be wrong I'm not good at maths

The 3.2l is no miracle worker.

You won't get n/a response doesn't matter what you do. You can't get linear torque nor power with an low compression rb at the power you want. It just won't happen.

As I have said previously your turbine is to small to make any significant power in excess of what you have now. To tell you the truth I recon CRD did a pretty good job trying to tune that turbo on your setup it must have been a nightmare.

In a nutshell, you either need to decide on higher power or better response, you can't have both.

People have been telling you this all along.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
