Doesn't sound that bad Pete. The new dump will improve response, something you should really feel driving it rather than see on a dyno. Obviously the turbo was selected for response so that's why its running out of puff up top on a 3.2 and why the bigger dump isnt making much difference in the top end. Don't stress about it. As long as all the tuning is done right so you don't have the previous issues. Don't worry about e85 either, it would be a head f**k for a daily seeing that its becoming more scarce. See how you go but I recon it should be exactly what you want. Hope so anyway. :)

I am not sure how it works but the PT6262 CEA is rated at over 700HP and this is only running around 520HP @ 22psi so I do not think it is running out of puff, might need some boost to get the 6262 going harder , do I need more boost, I do not think so,but it would be interesting to see how it goes :)

But as you said, it will be all I want if the dump gives a little more response and it only matters when you are driving it.

Why didn't that embed......

What's the response of car like, or not driving it yet?

Not yet, should be sometime this week, if the leak has been sorted, should know tomorrow and maybe it will be tuned then ?

Based on others, 6266 is better for higher revs on a 3.2. Your 62 rear is probably restricting exhaust gas flow. Even if you increase boost its a scenario of diminishing returns comparing to a bigger turbo, but the trade off would be low end. But the 3.2 will look after that to a point.

Your probably around the 560-570hp mark ATM Pete

700 is absolute best case scenario

ATM it is about ,615HP ish crank. well I think 386 awkw is around 520whp

I know I keep saying this, but I still want it to go earlier , so I will wait and see what happens when I give it a run :)

I'm probably missing something;

Ran car at full power (identical set up?) and noticed less power than before...casual observation, nothing more to add?

Turned boost down (from 22 psi) and then it doesn't misfire...is that being offered as the solution to the misfire?

Put other cams in that were found to be better, then took them out again...?

I know this will sound dumb to you blokes that have driven these cars for yonks, but getting used of a car that revs so high is very strange.

This car was limited at 10000rpm, or maybe no limiter,the first time I went over 10000rpm because I was too slow to change up, it went nuts from 6000rpm , hit 10,000 in a flash and I shit myself LOL

Lets see how it goes, only a few days to wait until I get my arse in the car, that is the only test :)

All jokes aside, what's the obsession with turning them so damn hard? Is it the noise of it screaming it's head off?

Mainly because it would not go over 6500rpm, there was no need to do it. Shit load of fun @5500rpm :)

Not talking about your setup. I'm talking about turning the to 10,000 rpm and beyond for a car that's driven on the street. Is 8000 rpm not enough?

All of the above. He he. Love it.

Seeing you're such a fan of 26s, I think you will like to know I am putting a t04z on mine shortly. More lag, just the way you like it, he he

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 馃槷 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
