Got another tune at Hitmans and with the hiflow turbo by GCG should be able to get 230rwkw at least.Matt seems to think it`s the injectors not having a good spray pattern but I`ve seen others with hiflowed injectors get the power they want.We thought at first it may have been the cat but I`ve since changed it to a metal 3" and although I got an extra half pound boost he still can`t add more than 15 deg. total timing. Is that normal for the following setup?

Front mount

Split dump,3" all the way back and metal cat.

K&N panel.

GCG hiflow

Hiflow AVO injectors.(must admit they did look sus.Holes looked butchered but he says he flowed them twice to check)

18lbs boost to get 216rwkw.

I have an almost new set of injectors from a motor that had 32,000k`s on it so was thinking to put them in and run a bit more rail pressure but if that doesn`t work then I`ll have to buy new injectors anyway.

Any suggestions?

if it was the injectors it would just lean out and be an uncontrollable lean

it sounds like he is having problems making power, check the cat

try and drop the dump pipe and leave the exhaust open mouthed. see what power comes out

The intercooler is good front mount and have fitted cold air intake to air box and small hole facing headlight.Besides,we took the air box and filter out and made 2kw.I know the turbine housing is R33 because I just took it off to look,thats why it took so long to get back to the forum.Something I noticed though,the housing doesn`t seem as opened up as one of Slides.The turbo is maybe four years old now but making 18lbs.Only just turned it up in the last three months and rarely hit boost anyway.Besides,I`ve never felt totally confident is those hiflowed injectors so will change them anyway.Slide can do me a set for $940 for Nismo 555`s.At the same time will get him to redo the rear housing.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
