  1. You couldn't be more wrong! If you're a straight line hero sure an evo may be "boring" but if you like cornering at speeds that boggle your mind and g forces that have your face stuck to window it NEVER gets boring! I've owned a crazy responsive 336kw GTST and now built my evo up to around the 300-320kw zone (no dyno yet) and the evo is alot faster and responsive than my skyline was.. I still drive out of corners in the evo shaking my head thinking WOW with the grip it has Nearly 2 years later. Just got out of it then and came out of a roundabout in 2nd gear fed it on and it started spinning all 4's and drifting slightly. Boring is sitting around spinning wheels going nowhere IMO
  2. So are you running the stock air box Mark? I think the cross flow cooler would be hurting your response as that hard turn at the outlet really strangles them! I also believe that the stock cooler pipework would be hurting things too if you look at the 2 sharp 90's that are like a "convoluted style" just before guard will really slow airspeed down! I know these things may sound petty but honestly when looking to optimise a setup they all help Do you Know what exhaust system you have because if its a Jap "bolt on" style you can bet its got reductions in it? The .82 will be hurting you a couple of hundred rpm but don't think the actuator will help response so much but will help you hold pressure up top when boost levels increase..
  3. Id have to agree with Ben cams wont help your cause and a cam gear on the exhaust I didn't notice any improvement to be honest.. How do they know the exhaust was a restriction? Did they increase the boost with no power gains? Id have to agree that its got more left in it for sure. But from your accounts I think they were a little lazy in trying to get the most out of your setup (puts flame suit on) Stuff like a 10psi acutator should of been rectified before the turbo was installed. What size injectors and pump you running? Whats your intake like? What kind of intercooler are you running?
  4. Last reply on EvoOz copy and pasted.. But further reading on FB someone said this I heard about the car in question, it was there on consigment and joe got f**ked over for it, and copt the blame. Wasnt a car he brought in
  5. You're far too kind Terry!

  7. I maybe wrong but I thought Jez's car went 21psi around 4100-4200rpm? In my experience E85 doesn't increase turbo response.
  8. Should go around 20+psi by 4000rpm mate depending how well ya car is setup?
  9. 6262
  10. How much you got to spend? Get an EFR FTW! Too much precision talk around here!
  11. Thats old news Chris Noticed your in Sydney plenty of E85 around here do yourself a favour and get your car on it instead of tuning it on petrol
  12. Can I ask what you don't like about the ceramic ball bearings mate? Could always run a JB version of it? If I was you go straight on the E85 will save you money in the long run paying for 2 tunes and the performance gains of ethanol are EVERYWHERE off and on boost! It will hose a dirty petrol setup from idle to redline
  13. Ditch the T04Z if you want max response then mate. Are you gunna be on Ethanol? If so consider something a bit smaller?
  14. Whoever "built" that 4G motor is an absolute tool. The Rods are the weak point in the 4G unfortunately.
  15. Wish I was still a member of this club... Sold my car it was written off not long after BIT on the brightside im part of the 300kw unopened evo club now!
  16. T67 on a 3L 6cyl woulda been fun for sure But a nugget on a 2L 4cyl
  17. LOL! Enjoy your 300rpm range of useable power..... Even then think im being too generous Wait did I say useable?
  18. Tell em to hurry the faark up Mark! Lol! People want results here Wonder why they are playing with preload now? Should've been done before the turbo was installed....Looking forward to seeing ya sheet and how it drives! If you dont post up a sheet tonight it had better be because you were driving it all night loving it! lol!
  19. You cant be serious? Perfect robotically tig welded runs as apposed to the shit 6boost welds? As far as I know the full race manifolds are schedule 40 pipe just the same as the 6 boost.
  20. ^^This man...... KNOWS!
  21. ^^^ Now ya heading in the right direction! Forgot about the number dude its how it makes the power! If its a street car you want best area under the curve Nothing is gayer than needing to dial up 7000rpm and 1000db of RB fury to beat a V6 commodore
