Lol yeah mate big sigh for us both im hoping i might get the time to fab myself up a new cooler pipe tomorrow and if not i will get into it Saturday im gunna piss off that shit pipe that runs behind the radiator and shorten the run to the throttle body up! im gunna come up with something to pressure test my setup too gunna block off my turbo outlet and the pipe before the throttle body and put 35psi of compressed air into it and got to town with a bottle of soapy water to check for leaks so i know for a fact the bitch is gunna be right for next time haha! Glad ya got to have some fun in the beast tonight anyways jase lol all i got was more work for myself haha

Bugger, that sucks!

What is the rest of the setup on the car again? Is it a stock mount turbo etc?

Jason, not bad result still - would have been nice to see how it went with VCT etc though. How does it compare with the old car?

Yeah bit of a bugger lithium but got today off work more or less so im gunna fab up my new pipework and chase these damn leaks today so ill post some pics up of my new setup tonight when im done

DW I feel like a half arsed POS too lol, I now need to decide do I buy a new VCT actuator for $450 or do I buy Brian Crower cams for under $400 delivered......... Tough choice.

Accordingly to Jezzup fixing the VCT wont warrant a retune but changing cam profile will warrant a retune. I also have NON VCT DE cams and gears I could whack in, cheapest option with a minor touch up on the tune..

Pretty happy with the result all things considered, the dyno sheet is on FB already if you wanna have a stalk.

The old setup (more or less the same but with a DET rather than a DE and also made 200kw) was a lot more sluggish. This comes on rather lively and definitely is happy to go. But for some reason high load (ie on highway) it seems to hunt a little bit when trying to accelerate between 2000 and 4000rpm.

I can only think it is attributed to the lack of VCT, and I'm hoping I'm not wrong. Am looking into cam specs between S13 and S15 DE's (i have a set of S13 DE cams at home to whack into my S15 DE motor if need be as stated prior).

Le sigh lol

Come on Simon. People dont fudge figures in sydney :rolleyes:

We Western Australian's do it all the time, we just didn't realise that you eastern staters were smart enough to work it out :whistling:

The best thing about is we have rigged our drag strip as well so our mph matches the power :nyaanyaa:

f**king LOL at huge reading plus "Temperature Probe Fault"!

Dyno Dynamics correction would be loving that :)

so a temperature probe fault gives higher readings? :unsure:

should ask my tuner to give me a faulty higher reading so i can join the 300rwkw clubz

i dont think its too unrealistic considering the factors involved

- we know these turbos really get going when you pump big boost through them

- 27psi would make a big difference compared to the standard 18-20psi... especially on the GTX series

- e85 is in the mix... ~15% more power right there

even it you take 25kw off the number.. 350kw is still very impressive

Lol Simon.

Dori yes that is how alot of people fudge numbers. PT have had that issue for years, they say it doesnt affect readibg

oh ok, well i've found out from a few ppl (including myself) that it is in fact true,

dyno run on theirs, read 20kw higher when tested on other dynos.

I don't think it's unrealistic power figure either... But does it actually make that power is another question :cheers:

if we take into account the whole dyno isnt reading right arguement then i dont see why it wouldnt actually make 350kw all day everyday

Epic, running 30psi?

edit: Running 12.1 afr??? hax

more details for us newbies please :)

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
