We are coffee pals. I have the same machine (well actually the cheaper one without an LCD). 
Mine has been going strong for 5 years. It's been through three offices and now makes my morning coffee without fail.

Literally the greatest little coffee machine i could have asked for. I trust yours is going just as strong?

haha the 3x way solenoid carked it, however fixed now. The group head back flush failed, however this machine is about 5 years old and has pulled an easy 6000 shots of coffee. My wife & I do double shots each, each morning then when friends come over etc. we pump out coffee too.

Nah he pumped too much boost through it and blew some shit up, scroll back where he talks about fixing it. 

Keep up bro. 

Hahaha. My bad. MINE is still going strong, because I haven't removed the boost pill.

Yep. I don't think i'd be at 6000 closer to 4000 but yeah. Same same. If it breaks and I can't fix it i'll be off to buy the exact same one again. :D

Get the BES920 (same as what I have) as it has a dual boiler & also you can independently adjust the steam temp/water temp & also the pre-infusion (makes all the difference).

I like coffee lol.

Back to fine tuning the bong again, aiming for  4 cups at 3 hours. Have 48g in and 480mL of cold water (ice cubes in there too).

First time using these beans, however flavour profiles sounds good.

I really should be servicing the R33 before I put it on the dyno next week.

Also thinking I should dump the external to atmosphere as it makes for better Instagram videos.

My nearly legal but visibly not legal, legal when off boost exhaust system.

Now ready for dyno mode ?

Nice Helmholtz chamber when in screamer mode, that should really negate the drone, until the gate opens that is.

Thank you to Alex and the team at Birrong Automotive for letting me use their workshop and dyno.

2bar boost just because why not, 19 degrees of timing. There's more in it, however the intake temps are kissing mid 40s with the China bing bong core. I did order a Plazmaman Pro Series but didn't come in time.

I'll grab the logs and dyno sheet off my laptop later.

I R GOOD GUESS.

Rear housing size looks like it worked well. 

Did you go 76 or 100mm core? Even the 76 helped a lot on the GTR and that was comparing to stock cooler which was already "decent" .

Guessing 10-20rwkw still on offer based on dataz supplied. If only 10 then my guess range still works, if more then I was wrong and I will feel so bad about it.

I could have made it come on a bit earlier, however getting the 4 port dialled in is not fun, spent a bit of time troubleshooting it with Alex @ Birrong Automotive. It's so sensitive, even at 16hz and with a 0.5bar gate spring sub 50% duty cycle and I can command in 2bar of boost.

Dropping the solenoid frequency down to low teens caused a ripple in boost however allowed for better control.

I ended up ordering a 76mm because I am tight arse lol.

Once the cooler goes on and I try to keep the 2bar all the way to the rev limiter, I am sure that 430~440kW mark isn't far off!

Thank you for the dataz ❤️ but you know I'm going to ask to see the timing map as well lol 

In the end was the 21 degrees MBT or was there still more in it?

    • 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.
