yes, and no I won't bring you back any parts/kobe beef/school girls! haha just kidding mate.

Yeah, I'll be heading back soon. it's worth it for me just for the money saved on freight.

BTW your dyno graph really impresses me. I'd love to come for a ride to see what your car feels like. ie. how responsive, what the top end is like etc. because I'm pretty much doing the same things.

I currently have:

front pipes + cat back system

Apexi PFC

profec b-spec 2 (running about 12psi)

Apexi power intake kit

trust cam gears (not yet tuned)

HKS wastegate actuators

want to add to this:

trust dump+front kit

cams (not sure yet which ones) + valve springs

possibly GT-SS turbo kit

Richard, that sounds like a good list - I think my turbos run out at the top end, so something like a GT-SS will keep the boost on early yet flow alot more for better top end :)

If you're ever in Melb, I'm happy to take you for a spin :)

I do pop down to melbs from time to time. mainly when the GP is on :)

yeah, I think the GT-SS would be worthwhile. not very expensive either. still tossing up whether or not I should go one further to the 2530s.

GTR032 can you please post your graph?

Thanks :D

I dont have my latest graph unfortunately but here's the next best thing. 244rwkw, Blue line is 14psi, cam gears, power fc, filters,full exhaust and rebuilt turbo's. Red line is 12psi, pods and full exhaust - 188rwkw.

Clarification: So 1bar worth of boost on the stock turbos seem to be okay? Is failure past this because of the actual boost or the fact that the turbine shaft speed is too fast causing delamination?

The reason I ask is because I am about to undertake up grades in the way of a competition dump pipes and y piece as well as a retune on the dyno. I already have a larger free-flowing FMIC and pods. What worries me is that with all these mods I will have less restriction in the system and therefore less boost. If I then up the boost to 1bar I would imagine the shaft speed will be greater than a near standard system with 1bar.

Am I on the right track? If so, should I tune for 0.9bar or even less?

So is it the boost or the shaft speed?

Still had no concrete reply. Given that I have less restrictions in the system should I be aiming at only 0.9bar boost or less? So is it the shaft speed that causes the problems or purely the amount of boost?

West - can you post your dyno so I can compare the midrange to the Tomei cams?

I'm sure with cams you'll get more midrange than mine, i can post the dyno graph but it'll take a while, best to speak to BEN, my car was on the same dyno as your or maybe come to the meeting this month?

Where about in melb are you? Pm me.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
