full boost is in the high 3k 3600-3800 i don't know why it looks that way on the dyno sheet but its way earlier than 5k.

also for every ones interest my mod to the air box is real dam good dyno run with the box and without was the same,we took the filter out and ran it and put it back in and it was the same power.

so my gamble was 110% right.

Ah ok, thats interesting.

The dyno is indicating a powerband from 120-180kmh, so 1/3 of the rev range (roughly). If you were to do it basically 8200/3 = 2733, x 2 = 5466. So the sheet is saying its on power at 5500 if its revving to 8200.

Is it possible that graph is for a lighter ramp rate or something like that?

on the ecu maps its set a 9000rpm as i have just looked at the tune so i have NFI why or what id love to really tell you what i think at the moment its easier if i just pm you about things i also have haltech reviewing everything as we speak online.

yes you are correct 4820rpm full boost of 23 psi the build up is so fast that you could swear its much earlier its tuned in ve mode (volumetric efficiency tuned)which is new to me.

That's good power for 98. I'm guessing its on full pelt about 5k? When does it start to get urgent?

Your setup is screaming for E85 Nick, that turbo is capable of making big numbers for its size.

I think 35R size turbos and bigger are wasted on setups that run moderately low boost levels. Chasing response is not really a goal anymore and you will only get frustrated doing so.

Very nice power but I am so far fairly disappointed with the lag, feeling reasonable considering how late the turbo comes on is more of a credit to the rest of the setup in spite of as opposed to thanks to the turbo. Unless there is a setup issue responsible of course, that is definitely laggier than just would have expected!

i think its probably normal for a gtx of that size, my gtx3076 on 98 was a late turbo, 18psi at 4000rpm but probably 4400ish til the back tires broke free.

E85 and more boost helped alot, but would do on most turbo's anyway.

disappointed nar its not that bad it really doesn't feel laggy honestly has anyone else had there car tuned on ve cos ive been in cars with lag but this feels different it could be set up.in the top end you see the torque drop of it was explained to me that its cos of the cams need to be bigger tuning in volumetric efficiency calculates the amount of air that can flow throw the engine and cos the head is ported the cams are my restriction ..............true or not i have NFI..lol thats the only set up issue that i can think of

That's odd, its on fairly late. Yet if it feels like its on much earlier I'm guessing it actually has good pull before being on boost?

its hard to explain it does not feels as it looks or sounds buy the dyno or the full boost by 4800 i need to do a vid on the car

If the efficiency of the engine drops off your VE numbers will tend to flatten out and sometimes run backwards.

That torque curve says it all. Add some more boost if you have a decent controller with rpm correction at the point where the torque curve falls over (150km/h). Power will keep climbing and torque curve will stay flatter.

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
