Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p

That is really nice! Very nice finish when you have an oven to do the crinkling nice and evenly!

Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p

The car is red. Leave it red, it looks great. Unless it's sealed though it's not going to be doing anything for performance and just suckin in hot air, mind you.

Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?

The car is still in paint jail. Here are some paint jail photos of things in primer and disassembled. I visited yesterday, though these photos were from about a month ago, the status is much the same. There's just more dust now. Especially inside the car too, which apparently is fine and normal... but I think I'll be never ever having a clean interior ever again lol. As this has dragged along, a few new parts have also arrived which was supposed to be well after paint... where Greg replaces every single bit of the engine except the bottom end. This is extreme LS nerd stuff dialed to 11/10 that's probably not really suited for target audience here. (and there's more in the mail, from the US). .

It could be. It might not be. It is impossible to know without context by asking the owner or the tuner on the day and knowing what they were doing/not doing/attempting to do. You said earlier this is hard to understand because to your mind, a turbo is at full speed when it hits its spike. This is not true. The turbos actual speed is defined by how much air is being forced through it via the exhaust, unless you control it. The spike you are seeing at ~whatever RPM it 'spools' at, is where boost control is starting. If there were no boost control the turbo absolutely would be spinning much faster at 7000rpm than 3000rpm, every single time, on every single engine. Boost control keeps the boost controlled within the limits you ideally want. If it were uncontrolled you would have two scenarios 1) You have a turbo that hits peak RPM and CFM (not boost) at the redline of the engine. This would work, but most people want more boost earlier. 2) You have a turbo that hits peak RPM well before the redline of the engine (say, 3500), and you explode the turbo by redlining the engine. (say, 7000rpm). If you don't want exploding things, or lag, you design a turbo system to come on when you want the boost to be useful, and then not overspin itself into oblivion by using some form of boost control, to control the boost pressure accordingly.

Tuning the wastegate to do it. That is all. Most people want the boost to not fall off like the most recent example. Those also look like dyno runs with an Auto/Torque converter setup, which does fun things to the graph. The boost tapers down like that because the turbo cannot supply the same amount of air at 7000rpm that it can at 3000 in terms of PSI. That, or the tuner has decided that it tapering off like that is what someone chose to do. IF you have a wastegate that can't bleed enough air to slow the turbine, and IF that turbo can flow enough air to feed the engine at high RPM, you get 'boost creep' which is a rise of boost pressure beyond what you are capable of controlling and/or want. None of these show symptoms of that, but if you had a run that was 20psi at 3000rpm, and 27psi at 7000rpm, it could be an example of that. Or simply that the person wanted boost later for their own reasons... The dyno graphs don't always show the full context.

Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.

I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.

Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.

If the BOV is plumbed in as mentioned, like stock.... why exactly would it stall? It'd be like stock. Do stock cars stall with stock bovs?

Sorry, I confused myself here. I meant it would hit critical RPM at the kind of speeds where engaging 5th in most skylines is a possibility. Rear diff ratio matters tho. But yeah if people are trapping 150mph+ then... their driveline is likely already tinkered with... I just feel a tailshaft pole vault is not something anyone wants to run the risk of/test when they know the numbers. It may be entirely fine and overblown as a risk...

It also depends on gearbox ratio. Those drag cars running 7s passes aren't doing it on an overdrive gear ratio (probably). 1:1 is "fine", the critical RPM for a 50' single driveshaft in chromemoly is 6900rpm.... ....but when you shift into 5th and use 0:73 or 0:8 it all changes. Do you know their rear diff ratio? etc. That's the stuff that matters with regards to it. Whether it actually matters given your use application is also relevent. You may never get into those scenarios, like most ruined GTR's from Western Sydney don't :p

I'm not saying you're wrong, see my rants about modern BMW M cars being unfun at any speed on the road and expensive at the track... ....but these are mainstream enthusiast cars now. What you're seeing less of... is classic/vintage cars being driven around in anger, as they are classic, vintage cars now.

Standing around having photos taken on insta. (sad but true). Go to a track day, what is actually there nowadays could suprise you, you need to update your cool car in the hill radar to include VW, Hyundai, BMW etc

I would, alas the car is in paint jail

Yes, this is why I end up being 'vocal' with executives. "I want it" can't be "Just because we should have it" you need reasons. It has way too big knock on effects to simply want something "Just because" at that level in orgs with 10,000+ employees. Currently, message labelling. Sounds great. Except there is no governance on how to actually HANDLE message labels, so I may as well implement the labels as "Pink Flamingo" or "Conrod" or "Massive Dildo" and force people to choose one for every message, with no framework underpinning any of it. It has no value and can actually have detrimental value if all it does is serve to annoy people into clicking something random, or just using the default for everything, especially if there's no repercussions for getting it wrong, no monitoring for people doing it right, and no guidance on what needs to be what label. "But we need message labels!" f**k sake.

I mean something people seem to be WOEFUL at is doing a proper cost/benefit analysis. Going cloud is great, if it saves you time and money. Does it? I have found a LOT of managers just want 'the new thing' with SUB-zero understanding of what it is and how it functions and why they need it. I spend a lot of time on that point nowadays too.

This is so interesting, because I manage a Hybrid Onprem/Exchange Online environment/M365 Tenancy. I find 365 MUCH more intuitive than our On-Prem systems running Exch2019 for example. If my email servers could f**kin tell me in plain text WHY they are unhealthy it would have made my week so much fkin better. I am reading SAU instead of re-reading the event logs right now. Not to mention the less technical overhead of managing servers which more or less run an app. Then again, once you are entirely in a cloud, any cloud... it's very easy for Microsoft or whoever to just up the price x% and you just have to wear it. I suppose right now we have the worst of both worlds by having a hybrid setup. If you look at Powershell versus something like Logic Apps, you can see it's by far a better setup, because purely on intuition it's much simpler for many people, who simply want to say "When X, Do Y, Tell Z" for 99% of their stuff. Yes, it's less powerful at it's core, but do you need it? If you can articulate what you want to have happen in human-readable language it's a big step forward than attempting to translate that into on-premise/powershell code. I will echo Mr No Crust - Working in IT where the core business does something valuable to humanity is the way to do it. And honestly you can see it. I've worked in various firms over the years, in various countries. When you see the people work there for ~2-3 years, you can see why. When they're all there 10-20 years, you can also see why. Especially if the people working there 10-20 years on lower than average pay. This stuff is valuable in any work environment tbh, and you should be mindful to take 'advantage' or at least appreciate the good/acknowledge the bad sides of either type of environment lest you go insane in both of them.

yes

Get them to put the cams in. Everyone has happier with cams installed. Be happier with the end result. Happier than you are now.

Tbh, as someone who has been in IT for 20 years, I too relate to what Dose is saying. It frustrates me to no end that an Executive EA who manages emails and calendar for some VIP is a whole pay rung higher than the people they trust to implement and figure out email for the entire organization, or lead the teams that implement and support it on a technical level. It feels mind-alteringly dumb to quit, become an EA, and earn $20K a year more. I suppose it is what it is. Seeing people in the finance industry earn double for 0 technical skill does drive me a bit nuts. I suppose that's what they get by working in a soul-less, money driven thing. It's like.. what do you people do and why should anyone give a f**k about it. It doesn't provide any value whatsoever. /rant IT Workers around the globe should strike at once, that would be f**kin amazing lol.

WTS T56 Magnum, pls add all the required parts to cart and install pls.
