paulr33 that is wat i thort

Cubes yeh champ just speculating but it should go close? wont it?

you could boost it more with 98 with less ping

Mafia how does it drive? when does it boost now?

thats wat i wont out of mine but its an auto

il do the usual mods and get a shitf kit and get the tork converter modded

drives the same until about 5,000rpm, and pulls really hard.. Shame it pings its nuts off in third at about 6,000 rpm

f**ked if I kno whats wrong.

I might drop the exhaust like what paul said, but I seriuosly don't think there is a need because its HUGE anyway.

Forget 98ron fuel, we can't get it here. Closest servo is 4 hours away.

Maybe The ex housing is too small, causing a restriction, and heat, and causing detonation?

I don't know... :D

What ignition timing are you running at wot? (peak torque, mid and higher rpm values)

Cam timing.

Play with the afr's and see where its happy.

Thats where I would be looking assuming compression is good.

im running same gt30 set up as you mafia, it pulled 260rwkws stock engine at 20psi on 98 ron fuel. then had to rebuild the engine with forged internals, put tomei poncams in and dropped static comp from 9to1 to 8.5 to 1, this netted me 277rwkws at 21psi. yes iam also running an aftermarket manifold. will be fitting 4inch magic cat shortly and getting a remap using 100 ron fuel , i think 300rwkws shouldnt be to far away. theres a copy of my dyno graph in shootout mode in the members gallery.

define better results though ? dont loose faith jono, for every problem there is a solution just gotta find it. post up the dyno graph when u can get it and the guys can then go from there to try and debug it further

Don't loose faith bro, this is one of the best build up threads and have followed it intently.

The rewards will be there, and at the moment you are the inspiration behind me finally doing some decent mods to my line seeing as I got it rebuilt with venolia's...and have run STOCK as a rock for almost 6 months now...

Keep up the good work!!

My GT30 with 0.70 comp and 0.86 exhaust housing on custom made highmount manifold and 45mm external gate makes 255rwkw at 1 bar and around 310rwkw at 1.4 bar on 98 ron

With your 0.64 rear you should be getting boost alot earlier than 5000rpm.

aahh this sucks... what a waste of an upgrade..

I am seeing people with 2530s getting much better results..

Dont lose heart mate!

Eventually a solution will be found.........

=)

the problem is fuel... We can't get anything better than 95 ron here. I don't even know if the E10 here is any good. Its supposed to be 96 ron, and the tuner said I should be able to put more timing into it... Now with the ethanol blend petrol, apparently its 91ron petrol with 10% ethanol which makes it equivalent to 96 ron rated fuel. Dunno if its any good though.

pistons is another thing.. Apparently stock pistons are as weak as f**k.

heres food for though also, the tuner said that at 80 knock on the hand controller, he could JUST hear detonation in his headphones.

Also talking to the tuner today he said that these turbo are in their efficiency range at about 20psi+. But they are very touchy and 1-2 psi in the high teens makes a shit load of difference.

I really don't know where to start. I don't want to be running fuel additives all the time... I got sick of having to put toluene in all the time with my normal fuel, but it was much better than standard pump 95.

I mean, f**k, if shell got their ass in gear and released the Shell100 here (premium with 10% ethanol) I'd be laughing... Would be able to wind shitloads of timing into it.

I really am stuck.

Would I be able to make more power safely by taking a little bit of timing out and adding 1-2 psi of boost?

The tuner is very hesitant of putting more boost in..

finally had time to read this thread :)

good work by all accounts

makes sense, i dont see how the stock rb25 can be .04x a/r as the gtr twins are 0.42 a/r

stock turb a 33-t does 200 tops.

stock turb a GTR can get to near 300 So its believable easily.

That turbo is a GT30/TS04 , 7 blades and a .70ARR comp cover . It will be interesting to see how it goes particularly with the VG30 turbine housing .

Cheers  A .

Ya, i was surprised to see that Mafia's turbo uses a 7-blader S wheel as opposed to the GT series 6-blade wheel

I'm really curious as to why these horsepowerinabox/gcg style gt30's don't run the 6blade gt30 core with the .6 comp cover.

I'm thinking possibly GCG ran in to surge issues with the higher flowing 6blade gt30 comp?!?

I'm remembering back to GCG's 500hp bolt ons and the surge issues they had?!?

I dont think so, the 6-blade is the one you want, in the 500hp combo/6 blader is the banger setup that you want

You have surge problems with the BIG GT 6-blade wheel in the 600hp GT 30 variant only... i know because i had ever so slight problems. Going to the smaller comp wheel would have rid the problem, AND given better performance in the end after all the R&D

Bass Junky's wouldn't take any more than 14psi.. ping. :D

NEO runs more compression than non-NEO RB25. Thats why 14psi is limits :)

Drop the comp ratio... Thats really your only option.

You won't notice a drop of .5. Wind a little more boost in and see how it goes.

Thats what i think :)

Back it off a tad, tad more boost and see. You should be seeing 14psi around 4000rpm.

End of the day your fuel is limiting the setup, you know this as well as anyone

Maybe look @ the cost of freighting large drums. I know the tazzie boys ship down drums of Ultimate cause they only have 95 down there are aswell.

Initial cost is a whack but its probably not too much more expensive one would hope.

Bass Junky is not running a GT30, he has a GCG hi-flow with a VG30 ext housing.

I am also running the same turbo, with Tomei Poncams (256 duration[r33]) and head porting. Car made 270rwkw@15psi, on a new dyno dynamics dyno, tunning mode. Externally engine looks stock, apart from fuel reg (but that's also hard to spot).

My engine also started to ping higher in the rev range, this was solved by pulling timing out in that effected area only.

Mafia have you considered cams or even a descent head porting? This will definately release the true potential of the turbo. Honestly, with the fuel, i think that your car is not too bad, but when you have your mind set on a figure i guess you will feel disappointed.

All the best

Al

thanks guys. I was talking to a guy tonight at one of our test and tunes - he said to spend $700 on a good water methanol kit, and that will solve all of my fuel \ ping problems.

Then look at an electronic boost controller to fix the weird boost problems, he said he'd just stick a 15psi actuator on there to make it easier again..

This guy has a 11 second xr6t that he tunes himself.

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
