if your in sydney

i could possible let u have a feel of mine

im getting my set next week

Should be interesting to see what they have for you, Danny. Are you getting them from Just Jap?

My rears were definitely for a different car. The rear springs dont go high enough and run out of thread and the top alloy plate on the shock has different bolt spacing and sits up too high into the body. I had to use the top plate off the originals

Then I had to make a spacer on the lathe so the bottom fork wouldnt slop around too, was 5 mm too big.

Fronts fitted great, and I could lower them almost to the ground.

200 killa wasps at 14psi....good result considering I was at 17psi to get 199.99kw's!.......must be the intercooler and wheel size making the difference.

Are you using the standard boost controller or an aftermarket one?

I have disconnected the boost solenoid and use a bleed tap in its place, you cant tune for the lower boost at cold so got rid of it, and who doesnt want max boost when warming the car up? :D

I took a pic of the dyno sheets, I will post it soon. It shows 17 psi then dropping to 13 at redline, 14psi at peak power.

And there is definitely a major restriction causing this 200 awkw power limit, probably the standard exhaust manifold and turbine housing. Raising boost flows no more air. So anyone got a set of aftermarket manifolds laying around? :yes:

damn that just made me..

rethink..

hm..

i dont wanna go through that hassle

How do you know raising boost flows no more air? Doubt that the manifold is a problem at this level. Do you have 3in turbo back exhaust? If you have then a good tune should sort out some more power and your tuner should let you know when/if you need more fuel as in afm, injectors and pump (new fpr not necessary if you go for bigger injectors). Do you have any means of tuning it (aftermarket ecu, safc, sitc etc)? If not I guess you will eagerly waiting the results of the people trying to remap the standard ecu, which if it succeeds should be the most cost effective.

I know because I was dialing the boost up and not seeing the max output rise. Im not out of fuel yet, 80% injector duty cycle, Cihan was trying to get just over 200 and couldnt. 199.8 was the best he could do. He said the turbo flows no more than that.

Seeing as there isnt a direct bolt on turbo or manifold upgrade around, looks like im stuck doing it myself. :D Just the way I like it.

Danny, I could send you the spacers I made if you still want to go ahead with the BC's

Pressure and flow are two very different things.

Whether it is water or air, the principles are the same.

Trying to push 2L per second of water through a metre long 25mm hose will be at a higher pressure with less water "flowed" than if you tried the same thing with a 50mm hose.

The higher the pressure, the more drag the water/air received from the hose/pipe, which eventually becomes a limiting factor.

Scotty has a 3" straight through turbo back exhaust and an eManage Ultimate, so tunability isn't an issue.

I would doubt the afm/injectors/pump would be limiting factors at 200awkw, but I am just guessing here as I haven't spoken to the tuner.

Maybe the M35 has some kind of electronic restrictor in the ECU that piggybacks cannot get around... sorta like the R35 has in the TMU.

Or maybe it is something much simpler.

The piping on the manifold is... interesting...

The piping on the manifold is... Dodgy

What is it with log manifolds anyway, I thought they went out of fashion in the 60's.

Custom do up? (you wouldn't surprise me, bud)

Saw a Kinchrome engine hoist for $180 the other day.... :D

So you didn't crack 200? WEAK!!

Just kidding. 500nm is nice!

hmm, must've missed the hoist when I was there (too much other shit to look at :D ).

So I guess the next questions is "when"?

Whenever you want bud. Its a completely different car, ditch work and come drive it now... ;)

So what causes the did in power around the 100km/h mark. Is that that at 3500rpm where the cam angle changes?

I took a pic of the dyno sheets, I will post it soon. It shows 17 psi then dropping to 13 at redline, 14psi at peak power.

At 17PSI your's pretty much the same....but a much neater tune....have to admit the only reason I went to 18PSI was to get over 200KW's :D . The is defiantly a restriction in these motors....could be the heads or cams, no? Did you still go with the GT25 build on your turbo?

Custom wheels in a bushed core, I think the rear housing should flow more than that.

I would say its the log manifold and if you were going to make one, you would definitely need a GT-RS with external gate just to fit it all in there. And then you will still be limited by cams, pump and injectors.

I thought the torque readout was meaningless with autos on a dyno. The story I've heard is that unless the dyno is setup with all the correct parameters specific to that car, it cannot measure torque accurately.

Something to do with the fact that the torque converter multiplies torque to the wheels, but the dyno has no way of knowing by how much etc.

I think thats why its measured in Newtons and not the usual Newton meter? Not really sure.

A better way to measure it is the traction test. :D (do I smell rubber?)

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
