R33GOD, not sure if this is relevant.

I've got a slide high-flow too. It's the VG30 one though. Mine spools up quick and comes on real hard. On my 34, i'm pulling 240rwkw on just 12 psi. And that's on a piggy back ecu. Will be running more boost soon once i fix on either a motec M48 or power FC.

Understand how you feel mate, i would be disappointed if i can't have my turbo performing at its peak level. However, we all have to agree Aaron made hell of a good hi flow :)

definately a good turbo for a standard hiflow. guess i could miss out of a few kw by having a better spool up than most other brands.

And for the price i paid overall i am satisfied

well 2nd gear breaks traction at 80% throttle without droppin the clutch so im happy. And i got thick 265's on the rear :D

how do u find lag with the vg30 rear and when do u get fullboost by?

also spoke to the tuner today and told me that it made more torque than when it had 240rwk previously.

so im happier now. And damn it gets to speed quicker

hey sloutch

what support mod are you running? to make 240 just wondering..

cheers

albert

i guess it will have to do for now. if i get bored with it il get a nice big turbo next yr. But what turbo to make the most out of my supporting mods...... :P

To get a bigger turbo you'll probably sacrifice response for top end power.

IMO, an upgrade from the hi-flow might be the HKS 2835 pro s which seems to be able to break the 300rwkw mark and not too much lag and it can be internal gated.

I hit full boost at 12 psi at 3700 rpm.

Mods: full exhaust, fuel pump, fmic, pod, injectors. I guess the engine is pretty healthy, on my stock turbo, i made 210rwkw on just 10psi.

This may be a stupid question but where are you taking your boost reading from? If it is from the inlet plenum (standard location) it could be possible that the turbo is running at 19psi, and you simply have a few psi pressure drop across your intercooler, piping etc?

Just putting it out there you think it would of been better to go with say a hypergear turbo i got one myself sitting there waiting to go on and got mate with them on there cars and they are good will get you the numbers you wanted

since i got it tuned i personally havent driven it but was in the passanger seat. went better.

first time i took it for a drive yesterday and its sooo much more powerful and responsive than when it had 241rwk. i just couldnt believe how much better a car can go with less rwk. why is that? its got me puzzled

figured out how much peak torque it has too. 540nm torque at the fly :whistling:

Edited by R33GOD
could have a better torque curve, making it feel faster, but the most likely explanation is that you were sitting in the passenger seat, this always feels faster than driving

this is when i drove it for the first time a few days ago..

R33GOD - I just dropped my 33 off at Unigroup up here in Sydney.

Last time it was there they fitted the hi-flow and EBC.

Now Im going 550 injectors, z32 AFM and retune so I'll let you know how mine goes :)

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
