Looks like it's ramping up fast to 20 then tapering down to 17

Interesting...what turbo? Ex gate? Return cooler or straight piping?

I'm on 15-16psi

Guessing from your slightly better response my turbo is actually slightly bigger (unless you've done more than bolt ons), however my turbo gets a bit choked up top from my cooling and exhaust setup.

Almost the same setup as yours. Yours seems to hold torque for longer though, only just.

[Leroy Peterson]

well theres no suspension arms, so other than a sway bar upgrade and coilovers, not much you can do handling wise (not that they handle poorly or anything)

[Birds]

Also remember a red N14 SSS that was reasonably quick on those meets

Yeah that's weird...shouldn't that produce more power at the same RPM / speed though?

Though that assumes runs done in the same gear and diffs. I don't know how dyno dynamics calculates engine torque...obviously some sort of correction for it; maybe it's open to

variability.

Hub dyno. Deal with it.

Roller dyno

R34 OP6 Hypergear Highflow, Internal gate, cheap Returnflow cooler, standard cooler piping in bay, scotty's intake pipe (which doesn't quite fit and I need to ask him to modify it since it doesn't line up with the turbo and the airbox at the same time...)

Pretty sure the restriction is the rear housing not being able to flow enough

[emts]

keep your dyno graphs....show me some lap times....

[Odium]

You're one of my targets... A few seconds faster than me at most tracks, I've got a lot of work to do that power doesn't help at all with...

[Birds]

Ah yeah. Mine is an HG SS1PU, which from memory has a slightly larger rear than the OP6 highflow...but I made him match it up to a bored out standard Nissan comp housing up front for dat dere stealth (that could also be choking me out up top). Using his preferred comp cover Stao made 290+ with an SS1PU on his car...albeit Trent's dyno.

Intake and cooler piping is standard with a return flow, so they do sound very similar setup-wise. Could also be that your turbo is simply a newer / more efficient model or a difference in engine health.

Pretty damn good turbos I must say, I've had mine on for at least 50,000 now and running flawlessly.

[Birds]

Also, just realised that you've obviously only just got it tuned...how's it driving? Total E85 fanboi?

you should be a easy 4 sec ahead of me....

Brought it home yesterday, pulls like a freight train... midrange definitely changes a car way more than top end power does. before it was breaking traction (265 ad08r) at the top of 2nd and chirping 3rd, now it's breaking traction for most of 2nd and if I change into 3rd hard it'll keep it going. Need to get used to that...

Had some slight coldstart issues when I started it up tonight, started and idled fine, but touching the throttle during the first 30 seconds made it choke and revs dropped down to 400 before it recovered itself... fine when it's warmed up (approx 2 minutes)

Sooooo, best of luck to my neighbours with it idling for a while at 4:40am on Saturday morning

[Odium]

Thus, why I've got work to do... Need to build confidence and learn how to turn in correctly...

ALSO, WELL DONE EVERYONE!!!!!! Page 3876 was purely about cars, not a single mention of politics, housing markets, vase selection criteria or which limited edition sneaker is just retro enough to be cool without being pretentious...

Pretty normal for E85 to be unresponsive and choke up with a cold engine. Spark plug heat range prolly a factor too.

Once started I can use the throttle immediately, but I always roll it on slow...if I stab too quickly idle drops. It also need a bit more revs when cold and letting the clutch out for take off or it will die in the ass. After a couple mins of driving or idling it runs fine and dandy with dat super response, but I've learnt how to drive it so that I can start it and start driving basically straight away.

As for actually starting, that depends how pure the E85 is in the tank. While there's still some petrol in there, starts will be easy. With pure E85 and on cold mornings mine can take 2-3 cranks to turn over. Helps to add a minuscule amount of throttle as I turn the key. Warmer weather and it's first crank good to go.

Cricketer Adam Gilchrist just cut in line to get on the plane from Perth > Mel.

Disrespecting my platinum status.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why he in Perth and then travelling to melb?

[iruvyouskyrine]

He's from Perth originally so that explains half of it.
