Hope you've budgeted for a rebuild. 20psi won't keep that bottom end for long!

Pics Weezy

I just spent a good 30 minutes watching old NFS vids on youtube. Pretty sure they were the reason I burnt my old PS1 out.

Lets all show up. White 32-Rs reppin'

So if I want the '-9' from Garrett I'm looking for GT2859R-9? GTRsean can you confirm this?

Guess I'll give the pods a decent clean and maybe change the spark plugs and gap them down to .8 for a cheap fix. Hi-flow cat and EBC are definitely on my list next.

Hi-flow cat will be my next step. But what is confusing me is how every other results I've seen from 32,33,34 GTRs and they say standard boost and everything and they made 180-200ish. Just thought how could I be 30kw down from everyone else? I just was abit thrown back when I heard 160rwkw. I mean for a 2.6ltr TT that seems very low, RB20 with a few mods wouldn't be far off it.

EDIT: re-read what you wrote and makes more sense. Should I just leave it and add a EBC and new ECU to wake the sleeping giant?

No cam gears at all and no idea why I'm running only 9psi with no boost restrictor. Man I'm so devo, I'm sure my old R32 would of had more power.

Here we go; Few weeks ago I was told that my CAS timing is very advanced. So I booked it in to get looked at by Boostworx here in Adelaide. Prior to this I removed my kick panel to find a Mines tuned ECU. So yesterday I dropped the car off to BW asking them to check the CAS timing and also do a power run to check the Mines ECU isn't running too lean/rich and just to give me a basic power figure. Going by my stanard boost gauge (ha!) it maxes out just past the first line between +0 and +7 giving me the conclusion its running about 10-11psi. Now the standard boost restrictor has been removed so 10-11psi should be achieved quiet easily. Mod list is Kakimoto Regu catback Trust MX front pipe (I think its MX) Apexi pods (very dirty) bashed compliance cat - know very commodore spec I went and picked the car up today to find out that all the timing and CAS is fine, AFRs are very good aswell as the O2 sensors. BUT I only made 160rwkw at 9psi and Shaun even said that I should be upwards of 190rwkw from 11psi. Now something is obviously wrong here and Shaun seems to think its the exhaust, which I am happy for it to be. But is there any other possibilities? I shouldn't need an EBC to run it higher than 9psi? The car is daily driven so I'm not gonna completely going to go all out on a quest to make 11ty billion kw but I just want some advice and opinions on why I'm down on power.

14psi is the end of the Boost Gauge, just because the needle stopped doesn't mean the boost does too haha. You were probably running 15-16psi + the cam gears that got you to 270

Could of been alot more than 14psi, you had no boost gauge!

Maybe, but would it be enough to only take off 2psi? On the standard boost gauge I get to the line under +7. +7 apparently being 1 bar or 14.7psi. So I assumed I'd be around 10-11psi. But when Shaun said it should be making atleast 190kw @10-11psi and 230-250 on 14psi. He said it could be a timing issue or exhaust issue. But it could be a combination seeing as I've just got a compliance cat (bashed) and some thrashed out trust front pipes and dirty dirty dirty apexi pods. That surely isn't helping me at all.

Thats exactly what I thought. No boost restrictor, front pipes, catback and pods should of surely opened up the breathing a whole lot more.

Shaun said it has the mods to see 190kw @11psi.

Could be a number of things. It's not there to make epic power. I just wanted him to throw it on and make sure everything was okay. But if its losing that much power something has to be wrong.

Just made a phenomenal 160kw@ 9-10psi! Obviously Shaun @ BoostWorx is fixing it.

No worries dude. Injectors went in no problems at all. I'll find out tomorrow how much power I'm making on them

Thinking about getting into a trade also. Want to work in and around cars as I have no interest in anything else. Narrowed it down to either panel beater or mechanic.

For those that don't know what Adrian is talking about. Work VS KF CST HYPER ZERO-1

Got a wave from a black stag with custom plates today just after 3:30 on Gran Junction Rd

Just a plain old Delorian.. WAIT,WUT? 2JZ NO SHIT

Meh on the bonnet! But Regamasters more than make up for it! I'd swap my wheels in a heart beat for a set!

Real RB sound
