OK OK lol........ Well ill start talking bout the boring stuff first like how it drives off boost haha!:nyaanyaa:

Im actually very surprised at how torquey it feels off boost it almost feels as pokey as my FG falcon ute and oddly enough doesnt seem my fuel economy has really changed from 200kw-288kw in fact so far it seems slightly better now with an hour or so on the dyno and bit of cruising and giving it a squirt here and there i done a smidge over 200km on half a tank .

Now to the fun part BOOST! Ok so 1st gear doesnt really exist as you probably cover 20m before you are looking for 2nd lol in second gear it really starts to haul ass at bout 3800 now and is breaking traction at bout 4200 with my kaaz 2way and 255s and it doesnt stop pulling all the way to the limiter and if i stay on it into 3rd gear she chirps and spins for a second then hooks up and away she goes and my evc 6 is registering 22psi at around the 3500 mark! I havent given her a good run in 3rd as you can imagine you are in the bye bye license zone with some spirited driving in the 1st few gears with a few revs in 3rd there arent many numbers left for the needle to go on the 180km/h speedo. Id like to organise a cruise 1 weekend soon so if there are any sydney people reading this get at me and lets talk bout a nice drive to a nice destination..........:thumbsup:

Now mr GTScotT im thinking you should have a tinker with my boost controller when we both got some free time cos i think there is probably a little bit of tweaking to be done with that controller :thanks:

lol stop talking about the bloody HTTP and talk about the bloody car!

Cruise on over to Perth, I wanna see this thing :nyaanyaa:

It will inspire me to get my ass in to gear and get mine finished!!

Hahaha justo ill have to bring my tools and service gear to give her an oil change 500km outta Perth lol did u check out the video link wolverine posted up of 1 of the power runs on the dyno? Your car will be an animal with the forged motor and 30psi big fella so get ya ass into gear haha! The baby GTX is awesome when she gets spinning and the lb's climb so fast!

it whistles a little bit down low but is mostly pretty stealth mate if you go back a page and click on wolverines link you can see 1 of the power runs on the dyno i recorded on my phone :thumbsup:

    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
    • Quite right, typing without checking, it is an 023 which was effectively the replacement for 040 (not that I could find either of them on the Bosch motorsport AU site), and it has a mesh inlet at the bottom of the pump rather than a separate filter
