Im having trouble with the 540's even in 3rd oh well, good to hear its coming along well matt.

Matt,

Last time I saw the rear camber on your beast it didn't look like it would help with traction.

How old are the 540's you've got? Once they go off (hard) they're pretty useless. Mind you with the your car's power/weight ratio fresh 540's would struggle.

The best I can suggest is to do what I did, align the rear end as neutral as possible, DON'T make the rear sus' hard as hell, & fit the sub-frame bushes for max traction.

[MattR]

Yeah ive got the bushes in and coated the tyres with the tyre rejuvinator. The new turbo will make it even harder now

[whatsisname]

New turbo? Do tell!

What internal work has your motor had done? What injectors?

[BOOSTD]

HKS T04R 650ps Twin external gate, JMS have it on there site

[whatsisname]

Nice, very nice. I'd like to hear it with twin screamer pipes!

[Steve]

Thats a farken big turbo for a 2.5L, perhaps its time to go 3L - would be perfect:D

[whatsisname]

Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing Steve. On an RB25DET she'd be all top end.

[Cubes]

heheh I think he's already thinking ahead..

[BOOSTD]

MattR's new turbo made 320rwkw, very impressive Matt.

[MattR]

Thankyou, accually 316 at 1.4 bar on pulp. afr start at 12 then between 5 and 8000rpm drop to 11.4

1.2 bar gave me 291, bring on the avi:)

[Steve]

Congrats on a nice result Matt, so where is the dyno graph?

[BOOSTD]

on pulp......sweetness.

[MattR]

Cheers mate, the graph they printed out was the 1.2bar. On the dyno sheet it compares the old turbo and the ney one at same boost. once I figure out hot to put it on here I will:) ill have it with me 2morrow night

[Steve]

How is the response compared to the old turbs?

[R33man]

Would be good to hear how she goes after its all finished. Also on a side note whatsisname, I read in your profile your an aircraft avionics tech. Me too Where do you work?

[MattR]

responce is strange. boost comes on REALLY hard at 5 then it is just a blur till 8 and then change up

[Cubes]

I think u need to change your alias to LunaticMattR

[whatsisname]

Congrat's Matt! Go RB25DET power

A 5 to 8k power band would make for an interesting drive! Around town she'll be great for economy.

I take it the internals aren't stock if you're taking it to 8k?

R33man,

G'day mate. Yep I'm a RAAF Avtech @ ARDU (IMS). I've been with ARDU for a couple of years. Before that I was with 33SQN (10yrs).
