hey there

my GTR has a LINK G4, no AFM's, profect B.......just a question my car has the profect set on 15lbs and 18lbs, my mechanic is going to do the 'cold start' next week, i asked him if he could set the profect to 20lbs instead of 18lbs, he hasnt mapped it over 18lbs

will it have to go on the dyno to set the cold start, and would it have to go back on the dyno to map it to 20lbs? im guessing yes? am i asking a bit much of my standard internals (RB26) to run at 20lbs? rev limit set to 7400RPM, engine mint compression, no knocks etc.......

cheers

what turbos? that's the big factor you've left out.

wont need to be on the dyno to re-do the cold start. will need to be on the dyno to set the boost control properly at 20psi.

hey sorry

big ol' 2860-5.....and usual upgrades

cheers

well whether your engine can handle 20psi out of -5s is impossible to predict really. maybe it will maybe it wont. one thing is for sure the more boost and (with larger turbs) the more airflow you are putting into the engine the more likely any weakness is to show up. so it's your call really. the turbos can certainly take it no problem. if it were me and your engine is as good as you say then sure give it 20psi on the street. on the track (should you go there) maybe turn it down a bit for some safety.

    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
    • Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
