Chill out man, not even Ash took it like that :(, did you read the second part of my post.

Just found it funny that Ash stated Ben has been looking after the car for the last 3yrs, when it's been off the road for the last 2yrs.

So take a deep breathe, have a cold drink, sit down and relax :P

lol 2 years :P

Whens ur birthday Al, i shall buy you a calendar and you can mark the historical events of my car for your own benefito

hahahah :laugh:

No-one is hanging shit on Ash or his car.

Ash you car was off the road WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY b4 i steped down from SAU VIC Vice Pres, and that has now been 12months. Redo your math, you may shock yourself that the car has been out of action for almost 2yrs.

This isnt a debate about how long my car has/has not been running for.

So after this - its back to the topic.

The car was pulled off the road Dec 16 2005. That by my count is just over 14 months

Thats 22 months left.

Plus the 2-3months when i had the RB25 out makes it around 20 months, maybe 19.

I think i know, its my car

Keep it nice come on :spank:

im Chasing around 220 to 250 kw mark

i went in to rank rotary today and pete finally drove the car he

recons the cam timing is retarded hes gonna check it all out next monday it should go alot better then if not im changing my turbs

rank rotary is very close with sabbin auto both wolf tuners and both supposed to be very good

also when to RE customs he said get a gt2876r he said it will get between 200 and 250rwkw and a lot lower rpm

so its either gt3071 not sure on spool up rpm? or gt2876r

im still deciding what to do i will see how pete goes rob at sabbin said the same as pete cause he was there when i took my car down

Pete and Rob are both good tunners and mechanics.

Pete use to tune my car b4 EAS got their dyno.

I have met Rob and seen his work, will be taking my car there very soon to double check the tune and see if it can be improved on; just waiting on the Blitz SBC to arrive.

Rob installed a turbo on an RB20 recently which made 260rwkw and he said it felt pretty strong without heaps off lag...

Id give him a call, he has done heaps of work for me and i trust him and his work 100%

cheers

Do we know what turbo it is?

As for having such a big turbo for 220-250rwkws. Carlh and legend01 both made around 280rwkws with a turbo similar to yours. Though they did have baby set of cams.

A smaller turbo will definitely help you make the power you want sooner..but see what you can get out of the current setup first....I think even the GT3071 would be bigger then you need unless you really want to start leaning on the motor at the risk of blowign it up :P

Ppl seem to be making good numbers with them...though they are even laggier then my TD06 from what i have seen. Though they do seem to make some decent numbers and are very impressive for the dollars spent.

As a comparison, TD06 vs Slide

- @ 3850rpm;100rwkws vs 90rwkws

- @ 4620rpm; 207rwkws vs 158rwkws

- @ 5380rpm; 237rwkws vs 226rwkws

- @ 6920rpm; 239rwkws vs 220rwkws

And thats comparing Dr Drifts DynoLog to a Dyno Dynamics...which im told usually read a few kws less then a DD.

I believe it was a 3037, not 100% on specs i just saw the turbo go on and had a chat to him about the results..

i spoke to rob he got 280rwkw with the similar turbo to mine dont know exact specs but he had cams and some engine work done

i spoke to him when he was at rank when i took it in to show pete

i will let you guys know next week when i get it back

    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
    • Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
    • Good news mate, plenty of spares available 5:40
