the dyno was dyno dynamics in shoot out mode at electronic automotive epping victoria. the .63 a/r exhaust to me is spot on , i get full boost by 3500rpm. this to me wouldnt want to be any laggier but i guess each to there own hey? it definately feels laggier than the gcg turbo and i would honestly say that for the street its about as laggy as youd want to go! the car easily spins 1st 2nd and 3rd gear now when accelerating through the gears , changing gears at 6000rpm plus its an absolute rocket!! i love it.

See, mine with the .82 rear housing starts making boost around 3-3.5k...

I have around 16psi running by 4000-4200rpm and the joy is i have not one iota of traction problems.

The power comes on so smooth and it holds 7850 redline without hesitation.

I've still got 3500rpm worth of power above 230rwkw where it climbs evenly

Not a sniff of wheelspin at all. Personally, with 250rwkw+ i'd want as much traction as i can get... unless your a drifter :rofl:

And that comes with the turbo coming a little later.

I think INASNT has little issues too and his car, being a different model only, is essentially the same as mine.

i wouldnt mind seeing your car, im not far from you if your in epping.

Just too see if the .63 is a savage as i thought it might be on an RB25. It might not be either :P

And that comes with the turbo coming a little later.

If you tune your boost curve you can have both, with the smaller exhaust housing. But with the larger exhaust housing, you don't have this option. I would ALWAYS recommend using the smallest exhaust housing that suites your power target. That way you choose the boost curve, not the turbine.:rofl:

So hyundia excels can pull away from you until you change into 4th gear????

In the wet the car will be no fun to drive at all?

hey bigcarl....i have the same setup as u...and pull the same power i am up to 280kw atw now....i am getting cam gear and tomie popcam and greddy plenum for abit more power and more respon...but i have to say i love this turbo..it pull so hard and boost coming very quick. i can rev it out to 8000rpm..this turbo is so good on the street..

I was getting around 260rwkw with a 0.61 housing on a 3037S 56T at 1 bar with a very restrictive cat back. It was so restrictive that the car was struggling to make 300rwkw at higher boost. When boost hit, it was on/off at 3000rpm, so I even got massive spin in 4th gear at 100km/h at light throttle - made street driving quite scary at time (traffic).

I changed to the 0.87 (bought from US for around 450-500AUD delivered) and a free flowing cat back - huge difference, made 280rwkw on 1.2bar with a very conservative tune. More aggressive tuning and around 22psi saw 320rwkw. EDIT: 1- 1.2 bar by 3800rpm(from memory), but with the ability to control the boost with the throttle.

All done on 98ron pump fuel. Other mods, hks 256/264 cams, exhaust cam gear, manifold, trust plenum and the engine was decompressed with a hks 1.6mm head gasket to achieve 8.5:1 CR.

From what I have seen though, hks turbos have different power delivery to plain garrett type, so not really a perfect comparison. Perhaps you could pm someone like freebaggin who runs the same turbo as yours???

By tuning boost curve to get it coming on a little later.... what would you do?

Say with a .63 too get it coming on around 4k instead of 3.5k to reduce wheelspin, but keep it going nicely.

Without an EBC in this instance

OH, and to eliminate unwanted wheelspin, rear camber arms, mechanical diff and a hicas lock do wonders, especially when teamed up with R type rubber.

indeed, but when my car has none of them... and a very much older (read primiative) IRS Rear end the squats more than it should...

I have no issues, which i can only attribute to the motor/turbo combination side of things

tuning boost curve - eliminating a sudden ramp onto boost that can sometimes see powers jump 1-200kw in a few hundred rpm.

yes, but how... but adding more fuel and making it flat ?

im just curious... not exactly sure so im looking for idiots english :rofl:

yeah thats right , just trying to impress my mates, i dont know many chick my age {30s} or my wife being very impressed with my owning a skyline never mind bagging it up, she hates the thing!!! lol .was that 280rwkws with same set up as mine with cams and plenum or without?

hey sydney kid would a set of tomei pon cams make much more power in mid range and top end? im running stock cams at the moment?

Yep, as posted many times, it's a very worthwhile upgrade once you have done the usual exhaust, turbo, ECU, FMIC, injectors, fuel pump stuff. Max power around 15 rwkw increase, and average power closer to 25 rwkw.

Tune it for max power, lock the wastegate closed until the exact target boost is achieved. As much ignition advance as it will take at each load point. Same for fuel, aim for 12 to 1 at each load point. Then look at the power graph, and start tuning the boost curve to suite the power delivery you want.

Personally I can't drive a car FAST that doubles its power output in 500 rpm, so I smooth the power curve out by reducing the boost. I have simple rules of thumb, I want the highest average power I can get to allow for rpm drop on gearchanges. So I don't reduce the power in that rpm range (say 4,750 rpm to 7,750 rpm). That way it is still as fast as it can be when I want it to be.

Once I have done that I can usually go backand slip a little more ignition advance into it, at the rpms that I have reduced the boost. This makes it more responsive.

The guy who tunes my cars (I do a bit myself, but he is much better than me) hates my guts. It is a lot more time consuming than simply tuning for max power, which is what most people ask him to do. In fact most people just drive in and say "tune it", so they get his version (which is not THAT bad). For some people that may be fine, but not for me. Thar's why I say to people, spend some time with your tuner and discuss with him what you want from your car.

Hope that was of some help:cheers:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
