i wouldn't mind if you could PM me the details on how the hell uve managed above 200rwkw and still witht he standard internals without damaging them over time.... but i guess its up to the drivers right foot as to whether the car internals get a bashing :)

but yes, can u give me the details and where ic an get my hands on such beautiful things, as im only after roughly 200rwkw... im stock as a rock except for POD [need to get an air partition] and stock everything else... :) but if i can get a rough pricing on what i need to get to 200-240rwkw id be more than happy to take a few days into driving up there, getting him to set it all up and driving back to melbz

240rwkw @13psi seems very hard to beleive. From what i have heard you would need to run around 18psi to get those figures... Not doubting your results just amazed. Tang0 want to take your car out next week monday or tuesday to see how it goes compared to mine? I got 240rwkw and would love to compare.

Afraid I'm starting to doubt as well after my run yesterday. Same setup with richer mixtures as the tune needs a touch up and a manifold at 13psi i got 199.2. I've cleaned up the tune a bit and shes a bit quicker now but not 40kw quicker.

zoom : standard GCG prices, i think it was just under $2k

jay : yep, VERY pleased with the results, and more than happy i dont have to run high boost to get the power !

williamsf1 : i think it was $66 per hour (if my memory serves me) for mechanical labour, then $110 /hr for dyno tune ... 3 - 4 hours i think for a pfc tune .. GTR would be a lot easier to change injectors on as the gtst you have to remove the top half of the plenum ... not fun work ... you'd have to give him a call to see how much he knows about gtrs but i'd be VERY surprised if he didnt know everything there is to know about them ...

croat : yep, very happy, i basically went overkill with the fuel system in a paranoid kind of way, but am more than happy with the results ... and unfortunalty my mother unit arrives from the UK this week, so going to have to spend some time with her, not seen her for 18 months .. anyway, the good results are all down to the tuner knowing his stuff inside out ..

it hard to tell as i had the injectors done at the same time as the tune - yes the car feels VERY different, but thats prolly 90% due to the tune ...

didnt bother installing the fpr in the end, after talking with dave, it seemed that it was not really worth doing for hte kind of power levels i was after .... now its up for sale with the custom made elbow that replaces the existing fpr ...

cheers

Did you happen to have the car dynod on the same dyno before the upgrade? The percentage increase in power is far more telling then a 240rwkw figure.

:mad: good resutls by the way. I wish i made that sort of power at that boost...even if the dyno figure is a bit optimistic, anything around that figure with that sort fo boost is a good effort:)

didnt get a dyno pre tune, to be honest, not really bothered about pre tune power, just that it gives me a HUGE grin now !! :mad:)

the dyno used is aparently a very conservative dyno, its used for race and drag cars so i guess it has to be pretty much on the mark ...

but hey, i'm happy, thats all that counts !

Iwells - absolutly ... i have not seen more then 55% duty yet, and that was pushing it HARD in 3rd to redline ....

Trust - yeah, will get around to some track days .... not REALLY bothered about drag times, just bothered about having LOTS of fun with it ... before a track tho i need to sort of better breaks and harden up the front suspension .... prolly new sway bars as well as bushes ...

never stops does it ...

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
