Slowly but surely - Will have news next week. As for 450HP ...... maybe a bit optimistic now I know a bit more. The mods would make the car 450 HP capable, but with standard internals and the boost needed to get to 450, the donk woudn't last long - So 17-18 PSI is the max I will run it at. Can go up to 22-23 but...

Stay tuned,,

Hey ppl,

Put the car on the Dyno today for an initial tune. Dowloaded a EMS map from a similar car as a start - Results look promising. Stilll a bit of work to go tho.

Run 14 PSI with crappy cat ( the hi flow one will be available in 2 weeks)

Got up to 220rwkw.

With more EMS tuning, Hi Flow Cat and more boost (18PSI) should hit the 260rwkw mark. I'll be happy with that. There's a few more things to do to....

It's a totally different car to drive - The turbo makes an awsome sound when spooling - Boost comes on at 2300 RPM. Def need new rear tyres & new clutch soon...

Also, am running the turbo in, so no silly boost or anything. I'll go back in a week or so, give my report from driving her around for a bit, put the cat in, wind up the boost and see what she pulls then.....

More to come...

PS Freakin Turbosmart Supersonic BOV is one loud Mutha Farka - anyone knwo how to turn down the volume on one of those babys ?? Shoulda got a plumb back jobie.

Hahaha i got the same BOV as u, im pretty sure. its bloody loud! I dont think you can turn it down and why would you want to? The louder the better!!!:uh-huh: :uh-huh:

So what are these HKS SS Turbines?

What do you exactly mean by that?

I thought a T3/4 Hybrid was using your origional T3 Housing with a different compressor housing T4.

HKS SS Exhaust housing?!?!? I've never actually heard of an SS Housing.

Ended up using a GCG Hi Flowed R34 Turbo - new performance bb core and upgraded (steel) compressor and turbine wheels. Rated at 500HP.

Yeah - I think so - the 500. Mark from Hills took care of all of that for me - I know he had to send it back once to get a 1 bar wastgate put on it.

Re; full boost- I haven't paid that much notice to be honest, it gets there so quick now, I'm watching the road mostly, not the boost guage. Let me drive it round a bit more and I'll let you know. I do know that boost starts just after 2000 RPM - The tubine spinning up sounds awsome.

The clutch is usually the first thing to go when you give it more power, mine only lasted 3 days when I increased the power, hopefully my twin-plate should go the distance.

Go for something stronger than you think you'll need cause the clutch always takes a hammering.

See'ya:burnout:

I went the xclutch 9 button ceramic ferride sprung clutch with 2500 lb pressure plate. I would have gone a twin plate if I had the time and dollars to source one. I need mine as a daily driver to from work, and was scared the clutch wasnt going to get me to work, so I stretched the budget just enough to get this done. Damn shame there wasnt a second hand twin plate handy at the time, as I can see this one protesting in the not too distant future- fingers crossed.

Yes I know a few people who went the same path, and while they are a good clutch I do not think they will hold up under the punishment of 300+rwhp. They are however very easy to drive, but my twin plate only took a couple of days of getting used to. Although second-hand twin-plates are becoming more common they are quickly snapped up, due to most people frying the factory one.

See'ya:burnout:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
