I've seen plenty of videos, results look pretty bloody good to me! 

Maybe he just got sick of some of the carry on that goes on in build threads? 

Given how some people behave around here these days, there's much less of an incentive to share all the ups and downs of a build. 

 I got jumped on from the getgo because I wanted response , said cannot be done ,  go buy a V8 . I got a pretty good result and not a word from the stirrers , LOL

Pauls car is great , plenty of power with good response , win win

PPG honestly is good enough to daily, it's easy to use doesn't crunch when you use clutch and is relatively quiet.

When mine went in I drove it to and from work in peak hour for a week and didn't get frustrated at all, my rear diff is generally louder

Drive it every couple of weeks and just getting used to the box. Low speed, low rpm shifting without the clutch without making it go BANG/CRASH. Getting there ?.

Wont be touching it again for a very long time. The level of “over it” is very high. 

With the 1.45 housing it went 517 AWKW, up from 486. Turbine speed remained the same at 122,000 RPM.

That is a healthy gain, was there much difference in response

2-300 RPM I reckon. Totally unsure which one I like to be honest. The 1.05 was “so right”. More Kms needed.

2-300 rpm seems like a reasonable enough trade off for an extra 30kw 

 

I guess it comes down to what the car gets used for though

Update.

Bought some new wheels...CE28N SL’s in 18x 10.5+22 wearing 295/30x18 AD08R’s. Might put them on in the next 3 months then push it back in the garage and whack it back on the trickle charger. ?

This thread does not deliver. 

You need to Youtoob better

The truth is out there.

Well, a hill climb somewhere is anyway

 

But, in saying that, all the good uns should get out and give me pleasure to my eyes and ears.

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
