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 ...

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
