Oh they have a 45mm again?

Last time i checked (admittadly a while ago) they stopped making the 45mm ones and went to 48mm or something like that.

Going back 6 yrs now mine was a 45mm progate - so the 45mm item should be perfectly fine

Make sure you get extra springs.

I remember when mine came it only had a 10psi spring combo in the box

I needed to get extra springs ordered in to get it holding 16-17psi consistently :cool:

Given you want the gate to set as close to the desired boost as possible etc. Less change of gate creep which i had using a 7psi spring (and trying to run 17psi lol).

Soon as the springs were changed out it was all spot on.

Turbosmart 48mm would be a good choice, or anything around the 45-48mm marker.

Same as what i ran with a GT3040 (550-600hp)

Out of curiosity what did you make RWKW from that setup

270rwkw @ 16-17psi

369rwkw @ 24psi (sunoco104, i could run approx 8-10 degrees extra timing across the entire map, venting gate etc)

The 3" exhaust i had @ the time was terrible and holding it back on PULP with the gate plumbed in as well :/

Wish i had the exhaust i have now. Would have seen around 300-320rwkw on 20-22psi, perhaps even a tad more as it made 250rwkw @ 1bar.

Given we have E85 around, you could probably add another 40rwkw to whatever figure as well. Would have been interesting :cool:

Nice, definitely interesting results.

Although I am far from an E85 fan boy, but I am one of few and as we know majority rules :cool: So ill can it right the

Similar to you, exhaust is my current dilemma. I dont want to change away from what I have although have intention to lean as hard as I can on a fairly basic setup. I want to set a reference point for the turbo really.. Unit is an off the shelf 3037, .87 rear, 80mm surge cover.

I see you refer to your results often, although have been yet to find them in the dyno threads. Thanks for sharing.

Never got a chance to upload the 369rwkw run as that was from Autosalon & never got a print out (you can see it on youtube tho)

The 270rwkw run i think i have a sheet for somewhere. I'll have a look. Was what... 5yrs ago now so not entirely sure! :cool:

Sorry for hijackings :/

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
