If so what kinda results did you get, l'm contemplating getting one as the price is damn good!!

Tangles has one on, not tuned yet though, sounds like he is very happy so far.

Thats right, its an awesome turbo.

Getting tuned next month (Feb 07), in rwd, expect 240rwkw at 1bar, or thereabouts

Pulls god damned hard at 13.5psi tho :) (at 14psi R&R kicked in)

Spins up onto boost really really well at 13.5, so at 15psi I expect it to be a bit of a ball tearer.

Will post the AFR's and dyno graph for the SITC/SAFCII tuned Slide turbo'd Stagea, ASAP

Got a better copy of my dyno sheet now:

I have extensively changed the settings since it was tuned as it drove like shit with the tuner's settings.

Waaay too much R&R which i have now smoothed out with extra SAFC/SITC tweaks.

Mods:

3" exhaust dump back

SAFC2

SITC

Pod filter

Profec B S2

Running 11.5-12psi

Just got my stag retuned at BoostWorx here in SA.

Actually they only have a 2WD dyno so we drove over to Turbo Tune (5 mins away) to use their 4WD dyno. Shaun from BoostWorx still did all the work however, we just borrowed their dyno for a bit.

Not a bad result, since it was tuned by another guy only a few months ago.

Gained an extra 10kw at the top end and some nice gains in the midrange.

AFR's were sitting below 11:1 but are now a nicer 12:1.

The extra 10kw is basically due to ignition timing however the safc tuning improved the midrange somewhat.

Here's the pics...

(Max 158kw and note this is at all 4 wheels)

I left the boost at 11-12 psi since I was happy with the power output and more boost would only affect the top end.

All in all it is still a bit laggy but with a big turbo like the GT30 its to be expected. Full boost seems to be around 4500rpm or thereabouts, although it starts winding up around 2500rpm. Its not all bad though, because cruising around off-boost saves on fuel :)

P.S. I do have the graph showing the official reading "157.9kw" but the other two graphs I have shown above were more meaningful - showing boost and AFR's. :)

Pixel8r : Looks like a boost controller would give you a decent hp bonus as your boost is falling off like the standard turbo.

I really need a better turbo that doesnt fall off after 5krpm :D

Yeah I know.

Otherwise i'd be happy to put up with the current boost controller but just up the boost a couple psi so it AVERAGES 11-12psi rather than just pokes at it initially... :(

but a decent boost controller costs a lot of money and mine cost $30 off ebay so I'm not complaining at all :(

Its a needle valve type (same as the $22 boost controller on this forum) so fairly reliable too.

My GT30 turbo really wants more boost than I give it (would be most efficient around 14-18 psi i'm guessing), but I'm moving interstate and will be training to rekindle my career in IT so once again the car is pushed further down the priority list :yes:

The biggest thing I noticed from my last tune is that I gained 10kw mainly through ignition timing - and the combination of ignition timing and more efficient tune with the SAFC has made the car noticeably more responsive right throughout the rev range. The car just feels a lot faster with more get up and go. I'm loving it ;)

$150 well spent! If anyone in SA has not been to boostworx yet, GO THERE. Your car will love you for it :(

got the car on the dyno today and still had some issues on higher boost with misfiring, it was upto 22psi and managed 584rwhp (436rwkw) but it was getting worse the hotter it got so boost was turned down to 18psi and managed 545rwhp (407rwkw), its still got the misfire issues and its wiring related so its getting a full check over to see whats the problem in the next few days.

still goes alright and has no trouble smoking tyres in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear now (in 2wd) :laugh: and its damn loud when revving out :laugh:

heres the final dyno graph as it is now...

*schwiiiiinnng*

You must be happier than a dog with 2 doodles with an intermittant result like that. Can't wait to see what it will do fully sorted.

Well done dude!

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
