LOL i am at that price huh? pinch.gif

Nice work Justo glad ya pulled out the calculator and crunched the numbers for me mate i should be able to afford a tank by tax time id say! haha

think your getting ripped mate :nyaanyaa:

:P

I'm really looking forward to your results on the E85. I am wondering how it will compare to my GTX3071R setup, but with water methanol injection and type B Poncams. I am hoping to get close to E85 results on 98. Will be winding in as much boost as it will take!!!

I will finally be assembling the bottom end this Wednesday. Still a month or 2 away with all the other work needed though.

Yeah watch this spot dude ill post my results up when its tuned i said the same thing to my tuner screw as much boost as ya can into her if my injectors can keep up the demand :thumbsup:

2 months dude?:blink: epic build mate but im keen to see your results though same turbo but different setup should be a monster :rofl:

Not too sure to be honest Andy sooner the better i say!:thumbsup:

Whats wrong with the stag mate?

If you are around Richmond this weekend give us a dial mate keen to check ya ride and give you a spin in mine

Are they tuning it tonite or tomorrow? The fat slug is going in on Thurs for tidy up and to sort a couple of minor issues.

Hahaha sweet keen to hear the 3076 whistle away

Wish my turbo was noisey :spank:

The slug is fine just a few little things that need a tidy up. Out in the boondocks on Saturday so we can compare notes as soon as I finish.

Just a lil update on my car had map sensor dramas yavus thinks its a dodgy sensor so my car was only tuned on 18psi and made 307rwkw once i get a new sensor and bump up the boost to 25psi its gunna feel real nice im really happy with how the car feels on E85 much livelier on and off boost and is just more responsive all round

Wow, I think the GTX will make a fair bit more once you get 25 pounds into it.

Wish we could get E85 here :(

Another 7psi and we will see what the billet wheels can do.

The compressor can only flow to its maximum capacity. Sure, bump up the boost and watch the midrange soar (good times :)). Even running E85 you will run into a restriction with what the turbine can flow up top. I'm guessing a bottleneck around 320kW, but a ridiculously fat midrange with 25psi.

Mick's car drives really nicely. It delivers in a very linear fashion through to redline. I feel like there should be more urge at 3000-4000rpm when you open the throttle which is surprising given the 71mm compressor, however it is very subjective (using the arse dyno) but my 3076 feels a little stronger here. Nevertheless it is very impressive and will have a very very fat midrange once it has more boost crammed in. The E85 has improved this car everywhere IMO.

The drivability of Mick's car is very impressive which is a credit to the tuner and the setup generally. :thumbsup:

Dale I think it will go to about 335ish.

I'd also like to thank Mick for blowing a hose on my car and then fretting that he had done some damage....lol.

Thanks for the kind words Andy its good getting to drive a different set up car real world comparisons are a much better way to judge setups than dyno sheets :thumbsup:

Our cars do feel very similar in the way the power is delivered be very interesting to see how our cars performed side by side

Sorry bout that hose mate glad i only owe you a new hose clamp and not a new engine... lol

so what is the power delivery like? second and third gear? does it throw you in the seat and you see stars ?

I never floor my car from 1st - 2nd but when ya mash the noise pedal in 2nd it will plant you in the seat bout 3700-3800rpm and pulls real hard to 7200 and it just hits 110kph 3rd gear is very much the same to give you an idea i opened her up in 3rd last nite and at maybe 120-130kph hit a bit of uneven road not really a pot hole but kind of a dip and she started to break traction haha feels unreal!

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
