Me!

ok so I've got my head back on and everything seems pretty good so far. Good old 3.0L purring away.

Been driving around a bit but the f**king battery dropped a cell. Left me on the side of the road. Won't buy century again, thats for sure. Its only 8 months old.

[89CAL]

I'll have to check what my battery is, its only a cheap one (came with the car) and its still going strong 3 years later

Last nights efforts, Much nicer as theres alot less noise in these photos...

[Robi33]

I love these photo's. Thanks man.

[89CAL]

much better then the last ones but still not 100%

Pretty happy with them but

Wish mine werent all blurred, still not sure what the go with that was :S

[Robi33]

I take it that photo you took of my car in the 'bushes' didn't turn out? Haha.

[89CAL]

It was ok lol. Just liked the others better

[89CAL]

[Robi33]

I do Powerfc, Link, and Vipec. ANd on a weekend, because I am not a workshop.

Can't do it on a dyno though, will need to be a street tune.

Disapointing results from my car today...... Only managed 240rwkw @18psi

Considering the turbo I have is supposed to be an improved version of the GT2835 Pro S, its quite annoying, Pro S turbos have easily seen 260rwkw and I have all the supporting mods to achieve that.

Going to do a compression test when i find some time and motivation, Bit of a blow spending all that money to achieve what I could have got with a high flow.

Data on the HKS GT2835 KAI for those interested:

thats not that bad of a result , what suporting mods do you mean? and also remenber your in tropical mackay with huge heat and humidity!!!!!!!!!!!! do you have w/m injection? if not thats the best bang for buck and you'll get that figure your looking for. i garentee you who ever got 260rwkw would be at the same level if they came up here and hit the dyno. was that with robbie doing your tune? and pluse i would like to see the dyno chart i bet its got a great respone on that turbo so all the power would be in the mid range which would equal wheel spin city but that depends on what your looking for. if it made great tourqe than who cares about hp even though i crap on about it still stuck on the old days of how much hp it makes not what tourqe did it produce. i bet its fun to drive though

[89CAL]

Yeah I'm just disapointed that i spent so much on it when I could have gone for a hypergear for alot cheaper.

The Pro S's have got great figures, Joeyjoejoe on here has pushed over 300rwkw with E85, and was running 280ish rwkw with 98.

I wasnt targetting such high levels, but nice to know the turbo wasnt at its full potential in case I wanted to wind everything up

Dyno's correct horsepower loss from heat through intake air temp sensors (well as far as I'm aware anyway) so realistically same dyno in 2 different locations should read fairly similar

Its def fun to drive, Will be better when my 18's come. But still is a bit of a disapointment

Mods I have are:

Nismo 555cc

tomei in tank fuel pump

3" intercooler piping (stainless) with GKTech intercooler

Splitfire coilpacks

Power FC

Z32 AFM

NPC 10" Sprung Button clutch

3" turbo back exhaust (XForce)

Full HKS GT2835 KAI Kit (intake pipe, lines etc)

Thats all I can really think of atm, Think thats it

Hadnt thought about water meth but I dont think thats the issue. ATM I cant be bothered spending any more money on it, spent enough already and I've lost alot of motivation right now, so maybe in a few weeks I will see.

[KING87]

keep the chin up man..Ther all worth it when there on song.

Remember that all dyno's will read differently

Could all just be in the tune, tighter the screws the shorter it will last tho.

[The Mafia]

I'd be disappointed too to be honest.

I'd be having a closer look at the tune to see what is going on.

I'm here if you need me.

[89CAL]

Pretty sure it's the turbo hey. Might try and get a pro s tune off someone and compare the maps. If there radically different I would say the turbo is limited

I'm in talks with nengun who supplied it and they are going to talk to HKS about it. ATM I'm putting no blame on nengun as they just passed on HKS information. So will see what they come back with

On holidays next week so car can wait for now.

[Robi33]

You've probably got a massive boost leak somewhere... I'd say the stainless intercooler piping that you got someone to weld for you...

The tune is pretty damn good and there is nothing else I can think of that could restrict the power output. It's still not a bad figure, though. Every step forwards is a step towards a goal.

I'd say it was the turbo as well... What's your timing like?
