I haven't yet needed/been able to to rev mine past 7000, maybe I'm driving too soft Pete!

Would be interesting, but I doubt it can flow much more air than it currently does at that rpm on a big capacity, hence why dump mod didn't change much?

I use do take MI e to 8.5 or 9k.

whichever the limiter was set at.

went good.

Before the build I could hit 10k with not trouble, because I was too slow to grab 2nd the first time I booted it :)

Even when the T78 was changed for the 6262 it was limited at 9.5k and no trouble getting there. I could never stop myself from testing it :/

Maybe there is also some cam adjustment for a bit more grunt as I do not need anymore than 7000rpm.

Can dialing the cams make much difference for response, there might be something left with a bit of tweaking ??

Still not responsive enough?

Shouldve gotten a M3 or C63 AMG with this amount of money.

Limiter a day keeps the doctor away. Gotta make sure its still there

I did not want another car, I like this one!

Dead a long time Mate , might as well do one really stupid thing in your life :)

That's why they limit them, so you can check it out when needed .

Should have got RIPS NZ to build you a 3.2L would still rev to 9000rpm :P

shoulda coulda woulda, but I didn't and what would I do with 9k , thats why I went this way. I did speak to them earlier but I still needed someone to pull it down and put it together and fix it if shit happens

No mate it will all be good, nice looking R that holds the road and goes pretty quick, early :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

Why?

The bottom end hasn't flung apart. The only possible reasons for the rpm limit are turbo restriction, or ignition issues, or potentially the cam settings.

All a bottom end has to do is stay in one piece, everything else actually makes the power.

^^^^^^^

If I wanted big power I would have gone bigger bolt ons.

After I do the fuel mods and flex tune I can bump it up if I ever wanted without costing and arm and leg, because I have already spent the arm and leg :whistling:

We aren't saying you did want big power. We are saying that the other guy is off point by suggesting another builder would have it rev to 9k with the same parts

I understood what you said and even the 2.6 that CRD built that was in my car , was strong and rev it's head off, or your head off.

I believe the 3.2 motor they built me is as good as most.

It seems more blokes want the top end bigger power and I understand why, it is exciting when it kicks in and when you have the revs up.

I thought about doing some Hill climb events once the car was 100% and watched some more hill climb vids this morning, that was the end of that idea, they take it pretty serious and rip! Do they have any geriatric events or do they have a different class for the mug drivers ??

Ummmm not necessarily.

Why not, I guess it is what you think is expensive, poke in a new suitable turbo and maybe different cams dial them in and tune , E85 and away you go. I wish :)

I am not talking a 900 HP car but it should be pretty good

I have better expectations for mine as it is set up now and if it does not meet them I will change whatever.

To get it going set it for 2000rpm. There's your response.

SET WHAT ?, I take it you are joking and pulling my leg ?

If not, Do a Pauline, please explain :/

You know that I know nothing much about modifying cars, only what I have been learning while on SAU. I know more now in 18 months than I ever knew about cars and that is not a lot.

Up until now, I just buy them, drive them, brakes down someone fixes them, it was easy, only had to have the NRMA card with you :)

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
