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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
