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...

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:

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
