I've raced an autech and it was slower then my rs4s. Maybe just a bad day for the autech but my turbo only held 10psi for 1000rpm before fading down to the poo level of 4-5psi. I think that there may be easier power making mods with the 26 but stock 25 and 26 appear pretty identical.

And hell yes rbd2 I want to see a pic

Is this the same race where you beat a VE SS Sportswagon and your boss's F6?

:rofl2:

jks!

you can easily extract more power out of the rb26 for less $$$$ basic exhaust, more boost and retune should net you 200-220awkw

same mods on a rb25 will only get you 170-180awkw.this of course doesn't take into account the difference in purchase price(which was only $5g when i bought my rs4

i know from personal experience thru the hills, the autech walks away from my stagea and we have the same basic mods, and my car isn't crazy slow either.

If you beat an autech only running 4-5psi then i suspect he wasn't really racing.:thumbsup:

Ironpaw -i understand your joking but go find yourself a ve redline ute and have a race, from 80-150/160 I sat beside him then he crept away. At 180 speed cut his tail lights were only a few meters in front of my headlights. That's the closest race I've had so far. But that said. I miss my stock turbo :'(. Stupid hypergear turbo is driving me nuts.

Big fella - I got mine 4years ago. At the yard an auto was 15990, manual 21990 and 260rs 29990. The only thing I regret is having un replaceable brake pads.

It drives fine, it's getting a nice consistent 7psi until high in the revs then in a matter of 300/400 rpm hits boost cut 14psi so I can't go above 5000rpm when the cams hit and my car should be going its best basically

so its boost creeping?

why dont you get a bigger puck welded on and largen the internal wastegate.. mines currently doing it at 22psi.. hypergear said they'd do it for $120 i think.. should definitely stop your creeping issue

It doesn't do it all the time, it's like the wastegate gets stuck open then suddenly jams closed. If you move the wategate by hand it does get stuck but where the sticky spot is it shouldn't open that far.

then your actuator reach is to long.

or you dont have pre load so its already a little opened, so when it completely opens, perhaps it opens to much...thats alot of opens..

i'de be speaking to hypergear as it obviously should be happening.

He said there is no way it would reach that far. It's got about 6mm of preload

get an air compressor connected to the boost signal like to the actuator. and se how many degrees it opens.

to a shop its always a case of "nah will never do that" as they then dont have to fix theyre fault.

if your having issues like that its definitely not safe. hence the reason im on eFlex

The turbo was originally fitted with a high pressure actuator made to hold 18psi. Been told its too strong so I sent him a low pressure actuator. I have no idea how that was fitted as well as the rest of the bits. The actuator only pushes about 60 degrees out of a 33mm disc covering a 30mm gate which's not enough for it to hit the backing housing and if it does jam open then we should see very low boost.

When I sent the low pressure actuator I don't have the turbo on front of me and I don't how long the rod needs to be but longer is always better then shorter, so if its too long then just cut and thread it down to size, and 6mms of preload is way too much, should be 3mm. I don’t get how it can run 14psi then goes back to 7psi. I have a feeling some of the vacuum plumbing is a bit strange or it is too much actuator preload. I'm guiding a novice DIYer and its pretty hard work. :/

The car's needs injectors and a tunned for 18psi. Its not going to make much more power with stock tune and factory boost. And have to say its doing pretty good keeping up with a RB26dett stegea.

I'm in no way a novice DIYer. Most of my job is custom fabrication.

The high pressure actuator gives in stable boost as the wastegate is held open.

There is no vacuum out put on the turbo outlet so I have used the nipple on the next piece of pipe to the intercooler.

Next point. It's got 6mm of preload because that's all the thread that's on there, at 3mm preload it barely had any boost.

I only wish to run 10psi until I get the other parts.

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS. THE ATR43SS-1 THAT I GOT FROM HYPERGEAR ISNT CAPABLE OF LESS THEN 16/17 PSI. SO BEWARE.

    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way 
    • This^^^ 100%. Endless Male Attention. "buy a cool car, attract females". No reality is the opposite. "Buy a cool car, attract males".     
    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.      8739a97a-9408-4eeb-b769-108ff1678736.mp4
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP.
