Nice work Rob!
Bit of a let down with the fact it's not hitting 200kw but not too long and you will be there.

I have decided I'm not going to chase the power right now.

Going to get my car sorted so that it drives well and handles well then I will head down the E85 path.

Radiator, exhaust wrap, muffler and gauges are all going in very soon.

Then I'm going to find time to take it to capital steering so they can tell me what needs upgrading to get it handling like it's on rails.

Ohh and Brakes! they will be added to the list as well as an oil cooler :D

yeah, Rob dont feel bad about not making 200rwks

standard RB25 turbo will never truly make that (for long) the 190-195 is a realistic figure

also we at what 2000ft above sea level.

engines lose ~3% of their power per 1000ft

Also, just because it was a Caltex servo, doesnt mean its Caltex fuel

fouls your plugs mate

If you want some value I recommend Liqui Moly fuel system cleaner

and if you hadn't already done it when you bought the car another Liqui Moly product - at your next oil/oil filter change use Engine Detox (just let it idle - don't boost it !)

Better than any other product on the market - IMHO

Yeah just in case I get SH!T fuel again... Oneshot.

I think? I put some NULON Injector Cleaner through it when I bought the car.

I always put a bottle of NULON E20 Engine Treatment in at every oil change.

(I seem to use Nulon Products alot. :D)

Never used an engine flush etc...

It's also colder the higher you get so surely that evens it all out? :P

Good idea.

Even my 180kw needs more grip, and i thought i had a good suspension setup.

Felt the Power. :woot:

Plugged in my ECUtalk to see that the timing is bang on 5o instead of 150.

When tuning, they had it on 150 but was not happy so did what they could to make it happy.

So 50 and a backed off tune is what resulted. Seems my Timing belt must be out by a tooth or two. :/

All will get fixed and the power will reveal itself. More to come? Yes Please! :D

I think I have heard of people intentionally putting the Exhaust? cam out by a tooth for some sort of gain...

Does anyone know anything about this??

Nah, I just want it to be as it should be, but do people do this tooth skipping thing and is it possible that this was done intentionally for some benefit?

Tried rolling guards, with my DIY tool.

The roller part is not up to it, its too short and when the heatgun is applied, it gets soft and flexes. :/

Or the guards are too stiff, yeah thats it i didnt fk up it was nissan. :P

Cleaning the Volks, not sure whats safe, so using bug and tar remover.

Its safe but not as effective as id like.

Scrubbed till my hands numb, still not clean.

Its the inside of the rim thats so hard to clean, the rest is ok.

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
