some people aren't just after the peak power output, but rather a quick spooling turbo for the streets with a fatter power band. its really upto the individual
I agree although would you be happy with a 20rwkw (peak) increase (over the standard r33 turbo) after spending $2,500 on an aftermarket turbo?

Edit: ...and running 17psi vs 12psi.

I think i'd be "over" 20rwkw after about 6mths and it would be a waste of $2,500 to me (personally).

I wonder what the average power is tho with that hi-flow.

Cheers Benm,

Thanks for the kind words guys

Robo: I was on the same mental track as you. Pulled the turbo off to reviel a stock unit. Just goes to show what they can do. I found strangly enough installing a new fuel pump made the most difference power(044) .....may be the key. It was last dynoed @ 218rwkw@ 15psi before the run. I did however run octane booster and dial in an extra 2 degrees advance for the night. My 2.2 was due to severe axle tramp. I have since installed solid bushes and am now running 18" 255 Nitto Extreme ZR Tyres.

Bigcarl: I was running 17" 255 @ 18psi Bridgestone Regano's (jap)

Robo: On the Dyno the fuel supply was fine , however I found on on road testing if I kept my foot into it through the first three gears it was start running out of fuel. On the dyno the car is only ramped in fourth and so the issue wasn't apparent. 4th and 5th had a noticable difference. Have you noticed if you just sit in say third then dump it it feels faster than getting to third after thrashing 1st and 2nd.... (keeping in mind constant intercooler temps)

I spoke to the guys from GCG today at Drag Combat (WSID) and it was $1,900 for either a 450hp or 500hp (same price) + $400 for something else (they dont have any "ready built") so you have to drop ur turbo off and it takes them 2 days to hiflow it.

    • Lol a few are like that with no intention of being reborn unfortunately. 
    • Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps
    • All trim back in wired running driving. Few things to follow up on but not far off the return to the road. att.6HN4wP38LTIOISkhA8eACoBFqzfgQMahZPLA8ut0pqE.mp4 att.w2q0ux2PGuqgQTj2Os13cNHQtqcSEcCAhD_CAXy_IQM.mp4
    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
