Extracted max power then, just surprised a 2860 could provide the flow. 

How are the IATs? 

Surprisingly mid to high 40s only. I didn't export the logs this time for the S15, was only a quick 1 hour tune to full send :)

As a doctor @dr phil you would be very familiar with data and facts haha.

Not like this Paleo Pete Evans ?

I'll pull some logs off the car at Wakefield, be good to see how my oil pressure, fuel pressure, oil and fuel temps behave on the track. There's a 6.5L baffled ASR sump in there too.

Picked up this blob, actually lighter than the HDi dim sum bok choy cooler.

I opted for stealth black with no logo so I can tell people in public it's a black eBay 76mm IC ?

Also in the odd event where it's parked somewhere out of my view it doesn't attract any attention because the entire car looks like a clapped out shit box.

It is such a nice piece of kit

Mine lasted one trip out and some arsehead kicked it with a steelcap boot and put a dent in it.

Now painted black and hidden behind factory mesh.

The only people that would know what a Plazmaman cooler is are enthusiasts... but if your an enthusiast, how could you bring yourself to do that... F*King can't believe it =/

i doubt it's Plazmaman specific vandalism, more likely a bogan jealous of a shiny modified car he can't afford due to his ciggie and VB habit

@Dose Pipe Sutututu Is that the plazmaman piping kit you're running too?

Correct, but has been slightly modded on the hot side to suit the high mount.

Cold side was cut and slightly shortened to fit the existing hole made by the previous owner for the bing bong HDi FMIC.

@Robzilla32 what the actual fuark?

Some people need to be put down, what a flog. Sorry it happened to you mate.

Yeah, it sucked all right. Was away for a trip with the Mrs. Saw it happen while I was in a convenience store or 7/11 or whatever. Came out to challenge the guy but he pissed off. Don't know what I would have realistically achieved - probably got my head punched in. Was worried about it leaking but it was fine.

Probably as per the comment from @GTofuS-T below....saying this as I knock back the red wines

Don't trust tow truck drivers to look after your expensive intercoolers either. Had a customers car get picked up from our workshop, towie winched off the crossmember rather than the tow strap hanging out the front, caved the bottom of the Plazmaman intercooler in. Took out the brand new custom piping as well, and because it was using Plazmaclamps it was a total disaster.

 

The Pro Series coolers are strong pieces of gear though, definitely proper. Still worked no problem with the dent at 800hp.

I did the same for the 34, pro series 76mm, raw finish, no plazmaman badging/stencil, nothing. It had laser etched serial and details in one spot that you couldn't see unless it was removed. 

100% stealth, looked just like factory.

damn, think i'm running the same setup, but really like the J-pipe delete and room for factory snorkel with the Plazmaman style

Did the car survive the weekend?

Sure did, however it did trip the engine protection a few times around big g corners on power (back straight of Wakefield).

Oil pressure dropped under 2bar a few times around big corners on boost. As @Dale FZ1 pointed out big power, big boost = elevated crank case pressure. I did notice each time it cut the car would spew considerable amounts of oil into the catch. It seems the oil cannot be evacuated back into the sump due to the positive pressure.

On main straights, no issues - this means having a head drain won't really solve my problem (also clocked 192km/h+ a few times, it moves). So yeah, motor out ? to weld on a sump fitting and connect it up to my catch can also gives me a chance to correct my shitty job at sealing the sump on the motor as it was weeping haha.

Managed a slower time of 1m11.5s due to being rusty, different tyre setup and too much power LOL.

Spewin you didnt get the 1.10 you were after.

I have the same issue with my can, accept mine vents to atmo so decided to spew it out the vent all over the engine bay. That was fun to clean up.

So Im going to have to do some more mods on the oil side of things as well.
Head Drain to sump, closed can to sump, oil restriction in head etc.
Plus on top of that the dorian timer they gave me had flat batteries so no lap times recorded for me :(
will have to work out lap times of the gopro lol

@Jasoncauser great putting a face to a name! 

 Time for an Android phone ?

I use Race Chrono purely for speed timing and live lap timing in car, gives you data so you're able to improve each lap.

purely for bragging rights, clocked 192km/h down the main straight haha

Also use Racechrono with 10hz GPS, always within .1 of official timing and I love the sector splits in car and live deltas so you know if you should keep pushing or back off and abort the lap.

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
