Nice result Ant eater. So much for not running more than 20 psi hey ;).

How does it feel?

not sure yet Paulie

haven't had the chance to use those 600 ponies just yet

but QLD SAU drag day next weekend - I think I will open it up a little

they tried 30psi but them stock springs don't like it lol

Are u gonna change your springs ants.. After my last engine failure I'll never use stock or jap springs again

yeah, eventually I will mate

Your previous engine died because of the OEM springs?

Yea they were either oem or tomei mate. Can't remember exactly but they were soft and only pushing tomei cams

ended up breaking in 3 pieces and smashing itself into a forged piston, around 20,000 old so shouldn't have failed

what did you replace them with?

awesome result ants :)

call me soft but i dont drive mine on high boost which is 430kw at i think @ 25psi (i need another 044 pump run higher than e55 mixed blend & higher boost)

just take it easy mate - its a lot of power (fark im getting old)

Ferrea dual springs with locks and retainers., haven't actually started the engine yet but the builder reckons they re the best and the fitment of the components is excellent

sweet will look into that

thanks Marko

Having a really decent fuel system is key to the HP thats for sure

You only live once - boost that shit up Marko

Hi Joey, this is what I was taking about earlier about the UE springs ??

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
