.82 rear, thats why its a bit laggy, but u got more topend out of it

since u cant check ya knock level reading just keep an eye on ya engine warning light, if it starts to come on regulary after a boosting hard step off and getnya tuner to check everything again (timing)

I am not really fussed, still picks up speed quick, boost hits like a train...which is rather interesting, first few times i did it, it was like when they hit the NOS in Fast & The Furious :) .

Since it is more laggy now, does that mean i am going to get better fuel economy when just dribbling around town?

Not so much at 160km/h but the revs at which point on this garph it hit 160km/h if you know what I'm saying.

yeah I was only using kph as a reference for the graph....load on the road could lean it out at any speed

As a rule of thumb 14:1 at idle, and depending on your timing and amount of brake on the rollers 12:1 is the leanest I'd ever go up top.....11.5:1 is a bit safer as long as everything else is taken into consideration.......we're talking pump fuel by the way.

mate dont worry i no what its like to have a laggy turbo and thats on a forged eng. i have garrett gt3540 on mine

and like yours when boost hits it hits HARD!!!!!!!!

i love it

ahhahha my fuel economy is shit and thats rarely boosting it

Crank up the boost to 18psi and feel the hit :)

buy decent quality straight off the bat. please. save for an extra week or 2 and buy cusco's or something.

It has been suggested on these very forums that the BC coilovers come out of the same plant as the Greddy coilovers. I'm not entirely sure whether it's true or not.... but either way the BC coilovers have springs that are too stiff for my liking!

I really do wonder, what exactly drives people to do this.

Also, why 49?

Doesnt help when your girlfriend posts what you've done over her Facebook status updates like Dan showed us!

i think krish is making similiar power to you abe. about the 250rwkw mark.

Yep making around 246.6 rwkw on 14.5psi....needing a new exhaust as when we cranked the boost up to 17psi at 400rpm it starting dropping off to 14psi and held hard on 14psi....for some stupid reason the boost wont go higher then 14psi so we ie me and the tuner came to the conclusion of needs a new cat back system and also have to get andrew from AM Performance to fit it all up as there is a leak out of the vband flange thingy

I am using a .63 rear housing so my boost comes on a bit earlier then yours Abe but has the same feeling of hitting you like a damn train when the boost kicks in.....well described with the FnF NOS scenario....cant wait to check it out tomorrow

mine is at boostworx right now, tuning the AEM FIC-8 ecu.

235kw at 5850rpm but not reving past 5850 at all - Im sure its a setting in the program,

I have made my suggestion re calibration to the tuners, so hopefully a little later I'll get the good news that all is fixed and well, reving thu to 7250rpm as per the remap chip.

the AEM FIC-8 looks great: here http://www.aempower.com/files/electronics/...lease080728.exe

for $350 off ebay its a massive score, considering the safc/sitc sold for $300 before they were even off the car! ;)

Hopefully my thoughts re the tune program setup work, and she free revs again into the red zone.

250kw

:)

    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
    • If you do make them, im sure you would have a number of buyers.. Every GTR I've been in have rattly door windows
