Guess how much I have spent....you will hate me

nah no quarter mile time yet, I have had it since Feb this year....and been replacing stuff and trying to get ti to run properly since July :happy: lol

try finding someone to tune an FCONV...it doesnt happen in qld...so I used to have to contend with an extremely anoying idle and some very rich afr's. I believe that Matty Spry might have the software now though.

that's easily fixed, bust out the scissors, cut Mr HKS off and wire in Mr MOTEC :happy:

no idea... 20K?

And for the record that 13,250 is how much the car cost me btw :happy:

All ive changed is fluids :P

Ahhh I see in that case you are doing better than me :P

It would be good if he did have it! They are an awesome computer

With the 3037s what was the boost response like?

was going to but never got around to it and eventually sold the car.....to tempting. I need my license and it was annoying to go driving and worry about the police pulling me over for a check and going, excuse me sir but why does that screamer pipe vent into the atmosphere? (amongst otherthings) Im going to wait and have 2 cars, one for track and one for the street. Its a much better and safer equation. I do miss the fun though..alot!

Ahhh I see in that case you are doing better than me :P

money wise maybe - performance wise not :happy:

im not a childrens anymore though :P

have to make house payments now so cant just willy nilly buy things

am EXTREMELY happy with my car though! skylines are sooo cool!

It was good for a turbo of its size, I had cams which aided it, but it came on around the 3800-4000 mark at 1bar.

You will be first on the list Anna!

Hey when do you need the mone for the NYE thing. Looks like there will be 2 of us

sik sik subw00fa!

Money anytime mate, I just need to know if you're a DEFINATE. Including you 2, there are 8 definates. So I only need 2 more to get the discount :happy:

your right about the fconv too, they are an awesome computer...just very hard to tune being they are in japanese and almost noone in aust has the software. Other than that they have so many features and allow an amazing tune. My car had been tuned by garage saurus in japan but they must have made the map a lot richer when the car was sold because the afr's were a joke when it was dyno'd at millenium.

I have spent under 15k on mods...so I guess I am still doing ok!

Hmmm thats not toooo bad *ponders*

got ny idea what the 3037 garrett equivalent is?

you mean price wise or what the difference in boost response etc is? Garrett make HKS turbos and they also make a 3037...the difference is the wheels, HKS put different wheels in their turbos to make them respond faster and smoother etc etc...But Garrett turbos are cheaper than HKS, so i guess you way up the options.

A GT30 somthing?

But I bet it isnt as good :)

Its nowhere near as good, almost all HKS turbos have an equivelant Garrett turbo being that they are both made the same. But there is a big difference in response and overall peformance. I have been in cars with the exact same turbos, HKS and Garrett versions. You notice the difference.

no no i mean wats the equivalent turbo in the garrett range i.e 3040R

HKS only come into their own with hi boost and big rpm, otherwise the garretts are just as good. and quite frankly, if u want to pay the extra couple grand for the 'better' hks then go ahead :)

dude that's rubbish. there have been people test each turbo on the exact same motor, and the only difference they noticed was the HKS provided marginally better performance at higher than normal boost (2bar+) and high rpm

Cheers will have and a talk to the girl tonight and make it definate.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
