New Dyno Results

[abcent]

Last friday I installed a Gates Racing timing belt, new idler& tensioner pulleys (and idler pulley bolt), aswel as a new Tomei adjustable exhaust cam gear (now set at 4degrees retarded).

Had the car re-tuned today to suit the new adjustment. Last dyno run made 248kw

now makes 260kw im stoked with the result! power comes on earlier, smother, and with a touch less boost (17 psi rather than 18). All my runs are on BP ultimate 98 octain fuel.

theres a few pics below of the belt, cam gear & dyno sheet.

for those who dont know...the cars basics: Stock engine

pod filter

FMIC

AVO hi-flow turbo

big injectors

big fuel pump

adj fuel reg

tuneable ecu

turbo back 80mm zaust & hiflow cat

looks good, well done

100km/h = 3571rpm

120km/h = 4285rpm

in case you are wondering

do you find it a big boggy now that youve taken off the factory VTC solenoid ?

nice, looking to install my adj cam gear when my car goes in soon but i thought it wouldnt do much as people have said that cam gears dont work well on the 25's. 12kw is good enuff for me!

Just a few questions:

1) Did u consider adding an injector instead of getting 6 bigger ones? Is so y did u choose to go bigger

2) How much more can ur highflow turbo do?

3) At what point do u reckon ull start to need to do internals?

No one do that any more mate.

I've heard alot of good things about these AVO turbo, great result, well done.

Nice work dude...

Good to see a modification makes a difference

[SABBAi]

So by retarding the exhaust cam 4degrees, you gained 20kw atw?

Nice work.

Nice work mate, same belt I used Too bad the cam gears do nothing for the 34's

VTC is still there (just not in the photo). Its more resposive than its ever been now

1) No. Maxed out my stock ones at 220kw...so got bigger. Only $20 difference btw 550 & 840 so I just chose the bigger because I know there a pain to change an now i'll never have to do it again

2) the turbo can be pushed to about 22psi safely....but my head gasket can cope with that as its still stock.

3) most people say at about 280-300kw is where you should be looking into forged pistons (even though the stock ones are forged) and better rods (most people use linished GTR rod)

Nice work.

aswel as re-tuning the car to suit

Yeah, I was over the moon! my tuner cant believe the power my car makes with stock engine an small turbo. Its averaging around 12.5 A/F ratio under load too which is still a safe tune. could get more if i leaned it off an ran more boost....but i dont want to. Maybe for a few runs on the Dyno at Autosalon to impress...hehe

DAYYUM Thats noice!! Whats next on the list abcent?

What do u mean by tuneable ecu? Factory one?

[abcent]

thanks mate!

No real plans for further power. more power = bigger turbo & engine bottomend rebuild to cope = expensive

just hunting down some nice rims now an thats about it

just having fun with it this year, few deca days track day & drift training days....

by tunable i mean aftermarket. I run a microtech LTS-12

[paulr33]

cool cool, thought you ditched the vct

[abcent]

looks like now with that little extra power im in need of a catch can....few reports of seeing blue smoke from my car after full throttle acceleration then backing off....its creating a bit too much pressure an the oils getting by, so catch can will rectify this.

thanks to those for letting me know

Yeah I was tellin Kris about that...I was behind you and was coppin a fair amount of blue smoke...thought somethin might have been wrong...then a few times right after the blue smoke would be a pretty thick puff of thick white smoke...

[abcent]

yeah doesnt seem to be anything wrong, as it's only happening when i give it a hard time. Knew i'd need one eventually....guess now is that time

[khunjeng]

nice result mate....got mine sitting there and was going to to the belt soon...

I saw the blue smoke when u backked off...was going to pm u about it but forgot...

nice result...I hope I get some similar gains...will try with a de-cat setup just for the dyno to see the difference between my hi-flo cat and nothing...
