As posted it was a stock AFM, i can vouch for this as i was there

98 octane.

Drove the car myself and it pulls very hard & still remains responsive.

Dyno is not happy, it is a 2008 model Dyno and has been calibrated recently, seems every time someone makes big power that people find hard to believe then the dyno must be happy.

Bas made similar power with this exact turbo on Trent's dyno.

As Ash stated earlier Mat tuned past the stock AFM and bumped up fuel pressure, not the safest thing to do but injectors will be upgraded soon.

Mat is not guessing when he tunes, he tunes very well and has proved this with several other cars. We managed over 250kw on 17psi (GT3071r) with my SR, no cams and tune is fairly safe. I never get over 20 knock even at the track and my AFR's are spot on (full power, cruise, and idle), hopefully Mat will jump in soon if anyone has any other questions Mat?? :ninja:

yeah i tried to quash that in my thread above, and the power thing. Ive found the new GCG highflows to deliver the goods up top. Bas is one of about three we have tuned in the past 6 or so months and from memory was 268 or 269 (dont have it on this comp).

Well we did what we could with what we had, theres not much more than that to it, but yes we all know the circumstances are not ideal.

Yes the AFM numbers were tweaked to make it work but the tune is still very safe.

The car runs a bucketload more fuel pressure from stock which gives us a little bit of headroom, which again is far from ideal but has proven to work just fine in the past if correctly executed and this case is no different. Having an extremely clean and well maintained fuel system is paramount, moreso than usual.

The dyno is not a happy one, many cars have been in and around to dyno days and such and have made the same figures. To help back that Bas made very close to the same figure with this very turbo, on Trents very reliable hub dyno. We do believe this turbocharger is a freak one! The happy dyno argument is one thrown around without much thought sometimes.

Cheers for the positive replies Trent and others.

269.9kw, i remember the day he took me for a spin after you had tuned it, i was very impressed, it was an animal! Very impressive turbo and another top tune.

trent..... empty your pm's bish!

so when you tune past a stock afm's capability, its rough while its building boost but then all good at full boost?

Comparing legitimacy of power figures based on quartermile times is a bit iffy IMO...way too many variables involved and dyno kings/queens don't always produce the goods cause many are top end tuned. Unless you were suggesting to test whether his 270rwkw is a useful 270 or not?

This is a great figure, would like to achieve something similar when I go high flow :(

i agree take it to the strip and if u dont get 115-120mph thru the top end then i call bullshit..

either way nice power figure.

birds u said it in one. many are top end tuned. there for if he really has 270rwkw 115mph-120mph regardless of his 60ft times.. he should reel the top end in in 3/4th...

Well its only a hi flow. So with 270rwkw peak, and probably well over 200rwkw for the majority of the revs... you would expect figures well over 110mph over the 1/4 i would think.

quickly;

what happens is the afm will hit 5.12v or whatever at say 5000rpm at 13psi, anywhere above this boost level the ecu will trace along the same line as it did @ 13psi so say at 17psi the ecu still thinks its running 13psi. To over come this you need to tune the 13psi line for 17psi therefore at 13psi you have the same timing and fuel values.... this means it is rich and retarded from say 12-16.5psi....

yeah this bit i left out, at 3/4ish throttle it will run stupid rich. reason i didnt mention it was, i did see once, a tuner that had logged his daily drving/thrashing over a prolonged period, and i think there was two or three columns, just below full load, that the ECU almost never went into, it just wasn't an area of the map that got used, unless it was quickly passing through it. although this is only one persons results, it stuck in my mind and i like it :)

obviously its not the best way to do it, but with limited resources, i dont think its as bad as most people think, although my experience is pretty limited in this area. heres a question for you trent, do you think YOU could tune a skyline with a stock AFM and injectors, that could make 260-270rwkw and hold together? ie, it may die from bad fuel/low fuel pump voltage/boost spike, but the tune itself would not be responsible for popping the motor. or do you think you just cant tune it that far passed its scope?

Personally i wont temp fate. soon as injectors get to 90% on std rail pressure i pull the pin. I hate regs and only use them where it is required ie aftermarket rail etc. There are plenty of people that do it and have no issues but i just wont, its a personal preference more than anything.

granthem mate when u heading to track to race ya car?

fri nite is next tnt.. keen? lol wouldnt mind lining up against ya sexy beast

I was planning on going but I have uni exams this weekend. So I had best be sensible.

That said, I will be finished all uni by the next one, Friday the 13th of November. And I'll definitely be doing an oil change etc and have it prepped and ready for that one. Can you make that date?

I have the feeling you are gonna munch me in top end lol... 115mph is fairly cookin!

yeah man november 13th is heaps better for me.

yeah 115mph that was at willowbank

who knows what ill run at beneraby lol

gotta dodge the kangaroos and koalas hahaha.

ill send ya a pm closer to the date we organise to head up 4 it!

    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
    • Good work. I will say, this line circled however, will potentially pool with oil, as it's going from high, to low, to high, before heading downwards.
    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
