No where near as much as my mates 32gtr that has gone through about 5 motor and different turbo applications to achieve a low 10 sec pass.

Spend 5k on an XR6T and you could run 10 sec pass.

380rwkw

Auto

Diff gears

slicks

=10 sec pass

i spent 2 k on mine to achieve from 195rwkw to 300rwkw.

Also to the arguement that they are no good at track work,If you seen one set with the right springs and a manual trans and good driver they can mix it with most cars.

2K for 300rwkw? Gees that's hard to believe. An APS phase 2 kit cost at least 5K and they claim it delievers 330kw at the fly. So i'm guessing you'll get 270rwkw from that.

There's a guy on XR6T forum that does 11.5 1/4 miles and I'm sure he's spent at least 5K doing it up so 5K for 10 sec passes is hard to believe.

Don't you need to change injectors(1K+)

edit+tune (1K+)

There's already 2K.

But then again you are doing everything yourself so you are saving a fair bit of money whereas most other people just give the car to someone else for them to do the work. That's where the $$$ come into play.

Trust me.That guy is craig.His car is a weapon.As for mine it is full APS Phase 2 running around 360fwkw.

There is so many was to mod a T now it doesnt cost much money.

I just went to the airpowersystems site. Phase 2 is meant to be 330fwkw.

You must of bought the aps kit 2nd hand because 2K wont even buy you the phase 1 kit.

There is many Unichip computers on the market,Injectors are getting cheap to source second hand,The auto just needs a shift module fitted"$60" and a oil cooler to be a super positive shift and the exhaust isnt dear if you know what combo to run.

I am with FIST Performance in Brissy.APS 330fwkw claim is only a guideline and all cars perform to how they are tuned.Im running 11psi with stock intercooler.My injectors are running about 90% duty cycle.I could easily run 14 psi and up some more fuel with a $800 intercooler and achieve 360rwkw.If i wont more i up the injectors again.I then regear the final ratio with a MK 2 final drive out of a manual with some 17 inch rims and with the right conditons and a set of borrowed slicks 10 sec Qauters are there.

Check out APS 10.98 Phase 3 car

there is many cheap piggy back cpu conversions around so sourcing them with injectors and exhausts and intercoolers isnt hard or exspensive.The turbo is rated to 650 hp or close to it.So the XR6T is a tunable weapon and will more so be in the future as manufactures of parts jump at each other for the competition.

I work with all makes including alot of nissan skylines,200 sx,supras and anything else that has a turbo.

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers 
    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
