Kando Dynamics Turbo

[rondofj]

Yeah Unique automotive in villawood, he tuned my friends turbo excel, well tried to atleast. They told him to tune it on no more then 10psi, but he ended up incorrectly setting the boost controller to 18psi. Was also overheated on the dyno 3 times.

Lol maybe that is why they are so 'Unique'.

Sounds like another workshop to steer clear of.... Good tuners and good workshops are becoming a bit of a rarity these days.... I had a bad experience with a local workshop recently and will never take my car there, nor will i let my mates take their cars there again... Word of mouth goes a long way!

On the flipside, word of mouth also goes a long way with GOOD tuners and workshops

I would think taking that centre bit out of the manifold is a bad idea. because the turbo isn't centered you have 4 cylinders of pressure on one side pushing against 2 from the other makes for uneven flow pattern. If it turns out to be the culprit piss it off and get a hybrid topmoumt I'm dying to see how well it would work

Failing that my guess is you have fuel delivery issues, but it's just a guess..

Dori34 i doubt it is your manifold.I got mine tuned last weekend and was worried the manifold was going to cause turbulence problems. My whole top half of the splitter is gone. Silly me put the 20psi spring combo in my gate assuming it might just run under the target pressure(so i can use boost controller to up the pressure 1-2 psi and ramp boost up abit quicker) but ended up going to 22psi in the top end. the least power it could make was 300atw with very minimal timing and fat AFRs. That is on caltex eflex though. going to see Trent this w.e for a touch up and il ask for a dyno print out and il post them up.

[dori33]

although power and torque was dropping of after around 6k, which Trent thinks was a manifold restriction.

i know of a r33 making 500rwhp + with gtx35r on eflex and its stock exhaust manifold...

i mean as the splitter being removed causing the restriction. (well thats what i thought he ment)

So many haters if it's not the manifold I'm going to crack it cos I'm getting a bad name

[GTScotT]

Your not getting a bad name. The quality of your work has not been mentioned at all.

Putting a gate on the stock manifold wasn't guaranteed to work, its nobody's fault if it didn't. It doesn't matter how well you did the job, it matters if putting a hole in the collector of a divided manifold and a gate within a few inches of it will create turbulence.

See what happens anyway.

[ARTZ]

yeah gate on manifold should be fine, it was just removing the splitter I was unsure on,,but as it turns out its still there anyway...so my point was proven invalid already..

secretly I was just trying to talk him into the hybrid topmount though cause I want to see how it goes..

OMG am I seeing ghosts or what- just how many doris do we have here?? One talkin to the other.. Confused:S

[DVS JEZ]

TBH, i wouldn't be suprised after the last issue with my "boost issue" which was just the EBC set incorrectly.

the boost plot is only for the 1bar run, but from what i saw, the 1.2 and 1.4 bar runs was just flat line like the 1bar, no issues there.

OH NOOOO

[dori34]

Hey dori33, what's done to your car and any Dyno sheets? I wanna see where the restriction is how it looks ok a Dyno if your maxing out a Mani.

Guys, please don't doubt the manifold, it's been done before and they've have made 280-300rwkw on this set manifold setup, Blake has done a good job. he's done a lot of work for me and I appreciate all his help

Thank to Jez you legend, looks like another silly mistake done by my tuner.

I think I'm gonns book it in with you earlier cause I can't wait any longer. Speak to you soon mate.

[DVS JEZ]

im just having a look to see if the haltech works off kpa absolute or kpa.

ill send you the tune back with the overboost raised, let me know if it still cuts out, but obviously dont go thrashing it as the tune isnt finished for high boost

Not so much a bad name but I loose work over people saying the manifold don't work it does work and it's proven as jez just stated boost cut wasn't changed for high boost. If the manifold wasn't working it would be spiking seems every time dori has a boost issue the finger gets pointed at the manifold and it effects my clients Thinking my product is shit

[ARTZ]

hey rondofj can u try one on a hybrid manifold, looks like doris car is sorted damnit

I mean YAY!!!

[GTScotT]

lol as hopeful as I am, that doesnt say 'fixed' anywhere on it. But it could potentially resolve one of the issues

[urtwhistle]

I have TD06H-25G 12cm with billet compressor wheel coming soon which will be mounted on 1 of those nice cheap NZ manifolds. should be interesting to see how it goes on a RB3025.

At the mo im just about to come out of a 6 month hibernation in a weeks time, but hopeful of dori's results too as thats whats Im intending to do..

On an unrelated note Jez, what is the difference between the PS1000 and PS2000 based on a setup like Dori's and like mine? (Bit of a Noob question i know...)

[dori34]

jez has raised the boost cut higher and i will be testing it tonight, fingers crossed this fixes the problem
