Educated Guess At The Final Tune Results


Recommended Posts

I thought any detonation was bad detonation.

From what I know about it , "no detonation" is what you want.

As detonation gets worse can it lead to pre ignition in a car engine or are they totally separate problems. From I have read so far slight detonation can go on for a long time in your family car and you would not really know it is happening but still causing internal problems, not sure about turbo charged engines?

But pre ignition can destroy your motor/pistons in a flash.

Well as I understand it, it can lead to pre ignition and once that happens normally you will throw a rod/piston and cry alot.

I wouldn't want to run 380kw with any sort of knock/det/ping and this should have been sorted when first detected.

Someone on here that is more clued up than me might have another idea.

But brand new engine/tune/everything should be perfectly tune to the smallest part. Glad you are getting it sorted though. Good work.

Crying just thinking about it,lol

It was a good thing I did not like the performance and thought there was something wrong with the way it felt to drive with the power it had. But until I had a second opinion from Mick I was only guessing :/

I am not sure if it will be much better when I get it back, I hope so :cool:

Would need a 6266 at a minimum. No bigger split turbine housings available

Yeah that .84 was the biggest for the 6262 I think and it is split. If I have to go to a different turbo to have it working better then I will.

You mentioned some time back about the BW 8374 with the 1.01 housing, spools quickly and has 50HP extra, that could be an option ?

If you stick to precision and just go up a size it will bolt straight back on and mean a lot less in labour charges

I hope I do not have to change it and I know you are are right but I am a stubborn SOB and still chasing the Holy Response and worried if I get bigger turbo I will be going backwards , lol

Didn't even watch my video.

ok so let me see if I've got this right, he has put;

90s tech -5s with the smaller -7 .42 comp housings with factory pipe work designed to fit the engine bay nice and neat up against the latest tech GTX3582R with custom pipe work designed to make the turbo work to it's peak efficiency and this is what is considered a fair test of twins v single, really!!!

And lets not forget the tuner, a massively biased single turbo supporter romoured for fudging dyno readings

Is that about right, don't get me wrong, I am not saying one is better then the other, I'm saying this test is anything but a fair test of twins v singles

My figures were the same 3 states away.. Pete doesn't feel his are inflated.

    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
    • I installed it all myself,  It was really easy to install.  I got a professional to do the degas/gas.
    • Finally had some time after working on other projects to jump back on this thing. Pulled all 4 wheels to check the brakes over and lucked out, only needed to bleed them/change fluid to get everything working!    Took it for its first quick spin (around 2km) up the road and ran great! Sounds like I have a left rear wheel bearing that needs replacing and there’s a shake in the steering wheel but the tires are absolutely junk on this thing and had been sitting flat when I went to first look at the car so we’ll see if that’s the cause.   Tach randomly started working but I notice if my hicas light comes on the tach stops working 🙃 yay for electrical gremlins 
    • Bunnings car park it is! if you buy the kind of dampers with the adjustable top on the strut you can see it, red, purple? So many options.
