Well, got quite abit of crap done today..

I did the final install of the manifold and wastegate, i also had to cable tie the aircon line toward the strut tower as it was too close to the manifold and also wrap it with some orange sleeving

heres some pics of how it sits at the moment, fitment of the turbo and all the lines are done:

it took me a couple of hours to adjust all the lines and hoses so that nothing at all is touching the manifold, the closest thing to it is around 5mm away and is wrapped in sleeving

Not long to go till i can take it for a quick spin.. still have to properly relocate the power steering reservoir, block off the bovs and bolt on the intercooler piping.

I take it Clinton is Kermit, looks good with the cover mounted like that, I tried mine like that but ended up going with it down cos of fouling issues,

Oh hi : ) my bad on that one, ur car is very nice

Man, this thing is awesome!

I see you have moved on from the fear of further police 'inspections'... Touch wood it doesnt happen again!

Did you lose any power going to the smaller diameter exhaust? Or need to retune it?

Anyway looking forward to seeing the results of the new install!!!

Ive actually sold the 3" 5zigen system that i bought new, i now have a 3.5" system on there now but the power difference between the two was very minimal!

Turbo setup is finally finished! The grin on my face after i took it for a spin around the block was priceless..... i am well happy with how it drives and not to mention how it sounds..

And ill just leave this here:

Pulled the engine covers off this morning, gave them a sand back with wet an dry and got them sprayed this arvo :)

Very happy with the depth of the colour too, im wondering how this colour would look on the rest of the car!

In that last shot at the bottom of the pic what is that speedflow 180deg fitting and line for? Just out of interest lol

Its the oil filter relocation. The white part is the oil filter. :)

SOOOOOOO much neater then twins....i sould of gone for a nicely sized single :S

interested to see what power you make @ what boost, and when full boost is made !

Me too! its actually quite responsive already, without a tune its making around 1bar on 4000rpm ! Thats as far as i want to rev the engine even though the knock hasnt gone over 20 so far.

Well car got tuned this morning.. it initially made 460hp on 18psi with the ebc set to 0%, that is the lowest boost my wastegate can run and then it made 485hp on 20psi.

It makes 1bar of boost at 4100rpm.. Full boost is at 4400rpm, pulls very hard even though its very wet today..

Drives smoother than ever! Feels like a new car smile.png Big thanks to the guys at Allstar !

how does it feel response wise compared to the previous twins?

any chance you could post up before and after dyno results

i duno if i missed it but what head work do u have done if any apart from the cams

    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
    • I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?
    • Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot. 
    • It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
