.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.

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

:)

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
