LOTS!

DOHC, 4.0l 6-pack with a restricted and underloaded turbo and motor...

BIG things will be made from this platform!!

A mate just received his after a delay with the sunroof and a crack in the windscreen which was replaced before delivery.

Click here to see the professional shots he had taken the other night.

AWESOME!

Guys,

They wound the boost down on the turbo to prevent the power exceeding the XR8. They did this because otherwise no-one would buy the V8. I have heard it has serious potential, at the factory they pushed over 300kW at the flywheel during testing. Factory skylines come with restrictive airboxes and exhausts, to meet EPA, but it doesn't take much to replace them.

I think we are in for many years of fun racing these down at the drags.

See'ya:burnout:

Apparently it has a very restrictive airbox and exhaust.

It has a restrictor on the turbo as well which can be removed. Aftermarket companies in this country are falling all over themselves to develop this car. ANYONE that says this car has no potential is not thinking straight!

It's the same as saying that, "because of the way a factory r33 ecu retards the timing when boost is increased, it's not worth developing the rest of the car". How many of us here have aftermarket ECU's?!?!?

ridiculous! not a shot at what you said, just that i'm sick of hearing bullsnot being thrown around on this subject.

Lets think about it: Change exhaust, remove inlet restrictor and other restrictions, up the boost, BANG 300kW !!!

That's potential in my book!

:D

I agree with 2rismo, the performance shops already have parts ready to bolt-on and can't wait to replace the engine management systems, the potential will be awesome.

Aslong as they can fix the problem of the side airbags going off, casue that would be a bitch if your racing and the airbags blew up.

Deesh,

If you wanted a drag or race car then I would agree with you, but these aren't intended for that purpose. They are a luxury sports saloon, and therefore have to have all the goods that people expect these days.

I'm sure if you stripped it then you could loose 300+kgs.

These cars have just over 200kw at the wheels straight out of the box. I point your attention over to this thread on performance forums http://board.performanceforums.com/forums/...readid=67137695

Very impressive. And for those people complaining that it weighs to much...go buy a mini or something.:D

these things DO! have a crapload of potential,only thing is that i dont think the tranny is gonna hold up to much abuse,as thereve already changed 400 auto's out of the first batch made,and even the 5 speeds are going aswell, but there are strengthing them.

Also i have heard from a mechanic that words at Fords in broadmedows in the warranty/workshop that the only problem is the crank,rods etc and to get the power out of these things and to still be reliable all these things will have to be changed

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
