If you didn't manage to get there, it was good! Just happy to get back out on that track again! The noise issue wasn't as bad as I'd thought it'd be.

hrd-hr30, good to meet ya mate.

Cheers, Ben (go the spagma!)

my sentiments exactly - that track is something special! it was awesome to get back out there, and was alot of fun in the GTR. A bit faster than my old Datto was, and a bit less nimble too... but still remarkably good for a heavy road car on Federal tyres! The Federals were very very good actually. They certainly stood up to the punishment alot better than the brakes! :laugh:

Nice to meet you and Jason too. Have fun down at Rally Burnie! You guys should come and do the QLD Challenge Touring Road Event in August if you can. I think its the 26th. They have a few closed road sections around the place, so its a good bit of fun. Nothing like the tarmac rallies you guys do, but for $120 its a pretty good way to spend a Saturday.

yeah, i managed to get 3 sessions in a row at the end, so that made up for missing out on the rest of the day i guess...

and yes, it was worth getting out on the track...

i'm glad i didn't spit the dummy and tear into them and demand my money back now :laugh:

good to see it all worked out in the end. Nice to see you leave with a smile after the dissapointment earlier.

can you let me know if your mate in the RX7 got any pics of my car?

cheers mate,

Harry

oh btw, you live just around the corner from my mate Glynn with the blue 240Z that was out there yesterday. I went back to his place for a beer after and saw you behind me.

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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)

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      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.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
