at .99 or 1 bar it should be running heaps more than 3psi... actually even if it's not working, the std wastgate spring should still hold at least ~7psi (~.5bar)

I think he might have calculated the guage wrong because we started a fight over it because on the standard guage it was going to about 6 psi (the max being 7 psi) though he was the mech and i wasn't so he was right in his mind.

I though it was going pretty alright for 3 psi thats why I questioned it. But I have only had a 4cyl turbo to compare it to, which is not a good compare.

I think I'll take it into the shop and ask them what to do about it and get them to teach me.

what was the evc going too when the std guage went to 6?

I wasn't watching, was watchin the road, I'm not used to the car yet, this was yesterday when I was driving it for the second time ever so??? I'll have a look tonight is anyone going to Broady carpark because if you are I can show you there??? If not I might drive to Bris at Midnight.

Mine must be running 9 psi then, I have no idea how it works i'm going to have to go and see a specialist

sounds like std boost... have a read thru the instructions... might be a simple answer :)

SBC is the scramble boost button - allows you to increase boost above low/high settings at the push of a button, for a given period of time. You can specify how much boost increase you want and how long you want it to last. There's a connector for an external switch you can mount anywhere.

Kind of like the 'overtake boost' feature of some of the newer units

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
