I'd love to know Paul's secret to 450HP. I'm nearly there - with similar turbo (larger rear housing). Dude did you have an exhaust on your car when you got the 450 ?

 

This is 23 PSI - ( get no difference in power from 21 PSI upwards - tried 25 PSI today and 2 rwkw less - same dyno)

B-man, That was with a 3" exhaust and no cat, 45mm external wastegate. We found that pushing the boost much higher wasn't producing anymore power either, but we're unsure whether it was the turbo or the cams running out of puff. We'll be changing the cams soon, and failing that may try the GT30R.

maybe SST Steve can help here, is the reason Wolfs can make the power they do on standard injectors or standard GTR injectors because of the way they fire the injectors, Is it something along the lines of 2 squirts per fire rather then one (sorry no idea how to explain what I mean but I'm sure Steve will understand:) )

We are replacing the gearbox then of to the drags with a new set Street ETs.

Last year this car was running 411rwhp on stock pistons and injectors and ppl said that we were lieing then the car went on one of these ppls dyno and made 436rwhp.

its not still running stock injectors is it???

My sard 550cc injectors read 80% duty cycle at 320rwkw so 330cc stock injectors will be reading 120% duty cycle at those power levels.

Anyway highest i have got with GT30/40 0.70 comp and 0.86 rear is 322kw@wheels at 1.4bar stock internals at selectamaz dyno day which i havent got a graph for either.

car comes on boost hard at 4000-4200rpm with the 0.86 rear and lights tyres up 2nd and sometime start of third, so i hate to think how the power delivery with a 0.63 housing gives.

I got a graph from autosalon where it pulled 312kw@wheels indoors in hot conditions. The 322kw@wheels was in a 12 degree day outdoor dyno.

0.87 housing and 0.63 housing is quite a difference!!

I like it much better when i accelerate and i am actually moving forward and not just sliging along with wheel spin. Have you tried a bigger housing? you might see more power with more boost then as ur exhaust housing must be causing a restriction

I have now been convinced as to what people have been saying for a long time, Dyno graphs dont mean jack shit.

My car is currently in a Bayswater workshop in VIC getting some mods done.

The workshop in question has a brand spankers DD 4wd dyno.

This workshop together with APS built and developed a twin turbo kit for the LS1 engine.

On there own dyno the car made 460rwkw. On the APS dyno it made 510rwkw both times on RACE FUEL.

The car recently went interstate for a Holden vs Ford gig and won the dyno comp with a ridiculous 650rwkw on PUMP FUEL. Go figure.

The owner of the workshop showed just how easy it is to make a dyno read a lot lot higher than it should.

One example was to "manipulate" the dynos temp sensor for a higher reading in shootout mode.

The next example, and one I did not know about was that supposedly each car that goes onto the dyno is meant to be calibrated so that when the car is doing 100km/h so is the dyno.

He ran the same car twice in a row, one time with the dyno geared correctly and once with the geariing tweaked a tad.

The difference was amazing, the outright power wasnt that much higher, but higher nonetheless but the average power was about 20kw greater all the way across. Overlapping the two graphs you would think they were two different cars.

So to all the people who write "dynos are just a tuning tool and power graphs should be taken with a grain of salt" I 100% agree with you.

Yeah, I have thought about changing the housings, but I don't want to loose the nice spread of power I have. May try a GT30R on to see how it goes.

GTS-t VSPEC or Steve-SST,

which GT30 core do u have now, can u provide the CHRA number?

it might be worth your while to go up to an A/R .82 exhaust housing.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
