Hey guys one question.

You're using a 550hp (approx) turbo and only aiming for about 250rwkw? Won't this be running the turbo quite a bit below its' efficiency range?

If you wanted 250rwkw, wouldn't a GT-RS have been a better option due to the fact that it will be far more responsive?

A 550hp turbo should be good for towards 300rwkw.

Yeah, I am aiming for 290 to 300rwkw, shouldn't be a problem.

hey guys so happy, i started my car today, it kicked over after a small tune of Power FC, just put in a small tune to get it started and drive it to the exhaust place so that the dump can be made up, once that is done i should have my car 2 days later, the tuner will need two days, for a cold start...

im so excited i cant wait!!!!!

Keep us informed - love to see a dyno sheet!

Cheers - take it easy until you get use to it!

yeh i know everyone is telling me be careful bla bla, but hey im not stupid... i dont wanna reck wat took a lot of blood sweat and tears to build, Arup dont worry ull be seeing it soon, ill let ya drive it so u can want it, LOL...

You're letting someone else drive your car?!?!? You're crazy! :)

Just kidding...look forward to seeing those results.

On a more serious note, I know you low mounted your turbo mass_iv, but for the rest of the guys who are doing this upgrade, did you also low mount the turbo? I had originally planned on using a low mount manifold, but have also seen some nice high mount set ups and I'm curious if there's any particular benefit to doing either...

i would go for the high mount if i was going to do this again, as it would have been heaps easier. the only reason i didnt high mount it was because i was using an internally gated turbo, also the cost's of a new manifold were a little too much for me at the moment.

ECR033, did u find someone to do the work for you? if ur looking at somewhere pm me and i can give my mates at MRT a call and get a quote for you, just tell me wat work needs to be done and wat parts u have.....

Low mount is more EPA friendly and the install is cheaper.

dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u better watch out, when ur not looking your gt30 may go missing, replaced with a stock turbo :)

Hey mate I'm not sure if anyone mentioned a clutch upgrade.

My clutch was getting a little weak when I sent my car away to be "modded to the sh!thouse".

What this meant was that when I picked it up, the damn thing would just slip and I didn't get to see what the 240rwkw actually felt like. It was a big downer and 2 hours later before I even made it home it had died completely and I had to get the car towed.

A week later I got it back, although my stepdad picked it up for me cause I was at work so he got the first ride.

Funny thing was, he told my mum that he thought it felt no faster than before but not to tell me he said that (she told me anyway :)). I'm doubting he even hit full boost. Anyone should be able to differentiate between 140rwkw and 240rwkw. And I sure as hell could tell the difference.

yeh i know bout that mate, i just recently changed my clutch, ive got a heavy duty exedy clutch, although my mechanic thinks it wont last more then a month, but it should handle it for a while, ill prob go for a puk clutch or a brassy, i used to have one in there but didnt think id need it...

by the way that would suk if i wasnt the first to drive my just moded line...LOL

this has got me thinking guys, anyone know of a good clutch to handle about 250rwkw, i currently have an exedy heavy duty sports clutch, but i dunno if its trong enough, my mate has a wrx 2.5L pushing about 320awkw, and has the same clutch as me, but he rekons its only going to last him 2 weeks, as he is only using it to run his engine in...

im not sure if mine will handle 250rwkw, but i dont really wanna go for a puk or brass button clutch... any thoughts?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
