put some ARP headstuds in, moarrrrrrrrr boost man

Law of diminishing returns Dose Pipe - we upped the boost to 22psi and only made 306rwkw.  I think that unless I spend a lot more time on the dyno finding out where the weak link is and re engineer my set up I will see little gain vs psi increase.  Somewhere in every tune there is a point where power and efficiency cross over, right now I am at that point for this set up.

Maybe restriction on cooling and or exhaust flow, I found the stock manifold starts to glow about 300kW+

Might was glowing like the sun lol... once I moved the gate onto the manifold, the glow decreased, reduction in restriction and heat then motor just breathed better netting a 40kW gain (although turbo was revised, same compressor but CBB centre and updated rear housing by HyperGear)

Sututututuuuuuu do you have a picture of how your manifold was done? Who also did it for you? I know cast is supposed to be a bit harder to weld. 

 

Got an extrude honed HKS cast low mount so I would be surprised if that was the problem.  Maybe an exhaust restriction eg my Cat, but I don't know and the nearest dyno is 200km away so I live with it.

This was a post i think from Scotty a long time ago... Ive always wondered why more havent tried it... But looking at my car today, it's cause its a tight squeeze...

Whats the sensor thats suppose to be there, cause its in the way...?

Interesting thread, mines been at 250odd for a few years and will be doing a few things over the next 12 months to give 300 a nudge

Everything on my car at the moment seems to be pretty happy at 250, HKS 2535 turbo, Blitz turnflow intercooler etc. I'm in no rush to change too much as it's a great daily package as it is

Just add e85 and more boost or water meth injection with more boost and you should go close.

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.
