Well Ill try the ghetto boost mod to ensure the wastegate isnt creeping open (drill out the holes slightly).

3000rpm is pretty damn good to have full boost!!!

It looks like Im getting about 9psi by 3800rpm in 2nd.

Running a bit rich and probably not optimum ignition timing so maybe I could get thatdown to 3500rpm..

no, you don't drill out the holes.

I got a cutting torch and spot heated a bit of the actuator and bent it one way about 45 degrees, then spot heated another bit along the rod and bent it back the other way..... then bent another bit back..... Kinda like the ASCII 'art' below....

PS. Ignore the . look only at the lines... :O

you can drill NEW holes in the end of the rod that attaches to the flapper. I actually tried that......

But boost was, hmmmm, how to I put it....... VIOLENT! :O

Boost was miles to quick to come on and the EBC couldn't regulate it.

so I changed back to a more moderate ghetto mod :(

IMO i would go and get yourself a decent EBC,for piece of mind,

Bass full boost at 3k is bloody good.I have poncams and still full boost isnt untill 3800rpm.

Mine is a Precision BB highflow,shafts and wheels not balanced inhouse like GCGs but the cartridge(wheels and shaft) are sourced from Garrett already balanced.That is the only difference that i can see.

Cranked boost up to about 13 or 14psi. Can get that boost by about 3800rpm in 3rd. 2nd is about 4100rpm.

Not reving it past about 5000rpm but boy does it feel like a shove back in your seat as it comes onto the higher boost.

Cant imagine what 18psi +tune will be like. Currently running very rich.

You do have to get into the accelerator a bit more though with this turbo to make things happen

Forget about the lag - It's not really an issue - I think Im running about 13-14psi. I can't believe the hit it gets

Be careful if there is any wetness on the road. These cars are monsters. 3rd gear.. 3000rpm boost building. about 3800rpm steps sideways as it hits builds to 14psi!!

Not going to push it anymore till injectors then tune. Seriously though anymore than 240rwkw for the road is just plain silly :P !! Whatever its making now running as rich as buggery is plenty

Well I guess the 170rwkw it was making before at 10psi on stock turbo was plenty also hahaha

Increase grip. :P:D

I also have a vg30 turbo with r33 hi-flow front..Dont know much about it but it made 235rwkw at 10-12psi.

Ive recently converted the car to manual and taking it back to get retuned..

This turbo comes on really aggresive i love the feel and shove it gets, cant campare it to the stock turbo. Midrange couldnt really be tuned as Im only using a safc.

theres some old threads about this combination of turbos if yous arn't aware, that person had great results also.

Cheers

Hi Sloutch,

Here is the link I was refering to, good read.

I was extremely interested in the thread as I have an unknown turbo on my car and its seems to be a similar one in the above thread.

Cheers

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
