Hanaldo's R34 Gt(T) Skyline Build

[Crans]

Are the inlet and outlet of the tial and TS the same? If so you can borrow the whole gate, keen too see this car finally running right.

I wont be needing the gate for a few months

[34GeeTeeTee]

I dont believe they are.... However its worth a check just incase, i think the body shapes are different which means the flanges wont line up

[Hanaldo]

Well they look quite similar in shape:

But I doubt a 44mm gate will fit onto a 40mm v-band? My setup is also relatively tight, so I doubt a 44mm gate setup will fit. Also might not be a good idea to get the tune done using a 44mm when I plan on using a 40mm, not sure how much it would affect flow and efficiency, but possibly a fair bit. Thanks though mate!

My tial mvs 44mm is smaller then a normal tial 44mm. So maybe able to try one of them? Could turbosmart email you the specs of the sleeve and get one machined locally?

[Hanaldo]

Yehhh they won't, they want the money themselves which is understandable.

Just had a real good look around the shed and it's no where to be found, so now the quest begins to find one I can borrow this week!

I think its only the diaphragm bit thats different, the body still looks similar man!

Good luck mate, i hope you find one!

Updates in here hanaldo

Updates in here hanaldo

He hasn't got a leg to stand on

No really, both the car and him were undergoing work yesterday so updates may take a day or two, hope it's good news on both accounts

[Hanaldo]

Haha will hopefully update later today lads, surgery went well but unfortunately I won't be able to drive for a few days talk about a tease!? trying to sort out a couple of mates to drive me in and drive the car home. Sort of have to, tuner doesn't have space to hold on to it

Glad to hear it went well mate When is it going on the dyno? Yesterday? Today? Dont hold us in suspense for too long

[Hanaldo]

Haha oh I thought you'd seen the Hypergear thread. The car is all done, it was the only car my tuner had to tune yesterday. He texted me this last night:

"Car went OK. Didnt ooze hp unfortunately. It doesn't like boost at all. It appears there is a restriction at around 340 or 350 hp. After that it doesn't make good hp. 20 psi is hardly any more powerful than 16 or 17 psi which indicates a flow restriction or bad intercooler that has pressure restriction. It went about 350 at 18 psi but went almost the same hp at 16 psi. Needs pipework fixed up. Blew 2 pipes off. Base timing was 10 degrees out. Very hard work."

So it's not perfect. But it's my car, so it was never going to run smoothly. I am just happy it made it off the dyno in one piece and didn't commit suicide again anyway, for now I'm happy. I now intend to hammer the thing at Powercruise, drive it and enjoy it for a bit, and then see what needs doing.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Well thats posititve news at least, you have the car and it held together Just hope you get to enjoy it..........

[tricstar]

yeah good work Martin !!

all came together just in time, see you at Powercruise

[Hanaldo]

Just gonna copy/paste from the Hypergear thread, cos I'm lazy

So here's my graph:

Red line is high boost setting at 18psi, blue line is low boost setting at 16psi with the gain set more conservatively to bring it on slower. You can see there isn't a lot of difference in the power output between the two settings. Compared to the previous tune at Allstar, I have picked up almost 1500rpm of response though. Full boost used to be at almost 5500rpm; now it's at about 4100rpm. So it's a totally different beast. This is even more responsive than my old G2 used to be, so the new setup is doing something right.

Still can't drive it myself though, stupid pain medication

And here is the video I posted in there as well:

Awesome news on the response! I hate Lag!

[JustinP]

Glad to hear its back on the road and running!

Sounds like there could be some more left in it with some further tweaks, but probably best to just enjoy it for a while for now

How did you find Garage 101 overall? Hopefully not too much longer until I can speak to them about tuning my car.

Highly recommend them dude. Danny was great, very very helpful. He didn't come across as just being interested in making more money, he seemed like he genuinely WANTS to tune my car. Walked me through everything he did, couldn't get hold of me while I was in hospital so he texted me instead, gave me a list of things he thinks might be causing the restriction and where to start, etc. Whole thing only cost me $715 as well, $550 for the tune (complete retune, he didn't use any of Allstar's settings) and he needed to weld some pipes for me, etc.

[JustinP]

Awesome, can't wait to get mine done

Bit of the first cruise session from Powercruise yesterday:

Mate who filmed this has a video on his phone of the second cruise session with SimonR32 walking all over me will get it from him.
