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 ...

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
