Hey zoom appreciated hearing your experience with the GTX mate sounds like its a good thing cant wait till next week to get my car back and see how hard it pulls.

Sounds like your car spins wheels a hell of a lot haha just wondering what kind of diff and suspension mods u might have? Have u had and boost control issues with the smaller actuator?

No diff work just the suspension, just as whiteline swaybars, whiteline pineapple kit, camber upper bushes front and rear, tein super street (setting at 345mm front arch to wheel center). The rear camber i set to -0.5degree and toe in 1mm to give me more traction, while the front -2degree with 2mm toe in and maximum castor.

Never had any problem with the garrett 1 bar actuator. my old hks ecv3 seems to hold the boost pretty steady to redline, may drop like 1psi. It seem like come on boost reasonably quick.

previously when i installed the pomcams while with the gcg highflow, i have gained 400-500rpm. I don't know if the big actuator can actually bring the boost on earlier.

Got my car back yesterday unfortunately i didnt get a dyno sheet because ive got a boost control issue that i need to sort out and ive also got an idling issue :rant: so the tune isnt finished yet

Yuvaz said i made 270kw @ 20psi which was a lil disappointing number wise BUT it feels unreal pulls like a freight train is very responsive and the sound is amazing!

Does anybody know where i could get my hands on some English instructions on how to setup a HKS EVC boost controller?

Haha nice!:rolleyes: 320kw its a big juicey number but how long is a unopened rb25 gunna last with that kinda power? I have heard that the 250-270kw zone is the safe power limit? (so to speak)

mate some are good some dont last long..... i am from a drifting background so u can understand how we treat rb25s...(badly)

some of the racing guys have been making 550hp atw with unopened RB25, e42, gt35r, plennum and cams for 2 seasons... and i know of a couple rbs that have been making 450hp on pump fuel for 4 years....

its only like $1500 for a new one every 4 years.... but its a fun 4 years

Thats not a bad number at all Micko. Remember its just a number.

What is the idling issue? Is it mixture related? Remember it was playing games with us when i did the quick road tune

Hello miss sexy :P yeah the number doesnt mean a thing when the right foot goes down mate cos its a beast now haha! I didnt have the rocker cover breather plumbed into the suction line so its probably sucking air from there so thats something i gotta do this weekend to try sorting that idle out & so the process of elimination begins :blush:

It feels really good considering its not tuned properly Yavuz said hes got some holes to fill down low in the tune yet but once ive got the boost controller sorted

i set the controller to 15psi and i get around 19 or 20psi boost :spank: and that breather line hooked up it should be an hour on the rollers away from the tune being finished properly :banana:

Well ive had a few days of fun at this stage lol and im nowhere near those numbers so hopefully it will be 1 of those good ones that hangs in there for a while!:whistling:

Thats unreal 550rwhp on a stock motor thats awesome!

Testimate to how good nissans little RB's are!:worship:

Haha Andy exactly! Who cares if you got a car that drives like a million bucks on and off boost and puts the power to the ground nicely????

Its all bout the number isnt it?:blink: HAHA!

You can't dick schwiiing unless you have a bigger number Mick.

Who cares how it drives....sif that matters. :nyaanyaa:

well its not much fun telling people you have a 4 inch dick,

even if you can use it...lol

Haha now that would be impressive! yeah should be interesting i think you need to jump behind the wheel of my car when u get the chance Andy

4" across the eye?

Hopefully we can overlay our dyno runs in about 2 weeks.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
