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 :)

    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
    • When you looking to buy injectors?? I could possibly sell you my 1d1700s for decent price. Done little work I just need bigger again 😫 
    • Is a dirty cheese eating surrender monkey in drag.
    • I'm late to the party. Been busy with a newborn... Keeping me up at all hours of the night.  I'll look into purchasing ID 1750's then! Thanks everyone for the concrete evidence.
