Was that on the BD4s dyno...my understanding is their brand of dyno read less then Dyno Dynamics so thats a great result.

But more then anyting, i want to know if your happy with how it drives on the street. You think it is too laggy or a nice compromise between mid to top and acceptable city driving????

good to compare graphs at 20 psi once you get them up ...

my run went from 22 but tapered down to 20 psi

have to get some of these hi po rb20s running down the quarter mile

Diff goes in this weekend, then hopefully next Friday night at Calder im going to give my car another run at 1.5bar...hoping i can get the 60ft down to 2.0 flat and pick the mph up from 113 to about 115-116.

Im hoping for about a 12.2-12.4 , but will be stoked with a 12.6 and no breakages. Actually i will be happy with a few runs in the high 12s with no breakages:)

My problem is having been playing with cars so much of late im behind with work and some courses so no spare time :)

I did some standign 1/2 mile stuff at an airport lat weekend, and with only 1bar up the old girl she placed 18th out of 95 odd cars, full or Turbo Porches, GT3s, GTRs, Ferraris. I was only 8 tenths slower then a Z-Tune :P:)

What type of dyno do BD4's use?

its amazing how much a good boost controller can effect spool, when we were tuning my car started off doing a run with the controller off and it made 12psi at 4300rpm, took a good 800rpm for boost to go from 3psi to 12psi... then we switched on the controller, did the relearn and it now gets 14psi at 4000, just shoots straight up. averaged a gain of about 40hp from 3k to 4.5k! and thats just a crappy old HKS evc 3.

If only SA had a running drag strip, who knows wtf bob jane is doing down here... :)

Apparently the City Dismantlers bloke went to purchase AIR then Bob Allrounder found out and pulled the pin (bad blood between the two). There was a little thread in SA regarding the speculation of what was going on. Apparently the city dismantlers dude is switching the direction of which the drag strip runs.. So your not running in to the sun as the afternoon approaches.

true.. im going to fiddle with the EBC.. if i can see any improvement ill get it back on a dyno

thats something they should of done a long time ago. would be even better if they could lengthen the run off to allow the fuelers etc to come back but seeing as there is roads either end of the track it doesnt seem likely.

Whooo silv

Ya getting it up there im gonna havta watch my time's you"ll probably knock me out my spot in the times section.

Gonna havta hurry up and get the new car finished .Compition its fun hey ,good luck :-)

cheers Peter

My apprentice ran 13.9 @ 98 in his R32 4 door. Stock standard running 13 psi boost. was 1.85 sixty footing on MT street radials. I wanted too see what it would do standard before it has nitrous fitted, new fuel pump & clutch. Might crack a 12 sec pass.

  • 1 month later...

boost creep unfortunatly due to the turbo had the ex housing modifyd goin to pull it off again in the near future and get some more work done to it see if it can be solved

mods are

hks pod

r34 gt-r injectors

z32 afr

power fc

walbro intank pump

sard fuel reg

3in dump to cat

3 3/4 cat bak

kkr 480 turbo

fmic

stock bottom end

no cams

no cam gears

Edited by japwpn

its not to bad to drive the rpm scale is correct

as for getting it onto boost sooner to be honest i was expecting boost much later than what its coming on at these turbos are rec for rb25 and from what ive seen they are getting them on at 5000 rpm there abouts so u would think that mine would come on much later i was very surprised

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
