B-Man Posted December 28, 2002 Author Share Posted December 28, 2002 Originally posted by [ryan] What's news Brendan - have you got the car back yet? How did the modifications go? 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,, Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/4706-im-doing-the-lot/page/3/#findComment-115689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 2, 2003 Author Share Posted January 2, 2003 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.

Cubes Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 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.

Cubes Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 ahhh I was looking at those. Is that the R32/R33 Upgrade turbo's for around $2,200 isn't it? XTRGTS-GT450 $2200.00* XTRGTS-GT500 $2400.00* And.. the link.. GCG Upgrade Where does it make full boost by? 3500rpm?

B-Man Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 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.

B-Man Posted January 4, 2003 Author Share Posted January 4, 2003 Yep full boost at about 3500 rpm. Switched to high boost today - in fourth, 4000 RPM, damn clutch started slipping .... I knew it would happen, bit not this quick... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/4706-im-doing-the-lot/page/3/#findComment-118562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS-t VSPEC Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 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.

Steve Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Surprised your clutch lasted out the drive. Mine went on the way to the dyno with a Power FC and FMIC and stock turbo.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Steve, Those standard clutches are fine for factory power levels, but when we up the power they tend to die very quickly. What did you use to replace it with? See'ya:burnout: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/4706-im-doing-the-lot/page/3/#findComment-118576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 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.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 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.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 So I take it that the RB20 box is very weak, luckily the same can't be said for the RB25 box.
