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 :)

Sorry Pete, I'm referring to the nitrous setup you should have on the car. Not some other random setting!

See what I mean Ben, I know nothing :)

Get the same kick out of baked beens :/

haha i was kidding about getting RIPS to build the engine...although they do a wicked job.

200hp shot of NOS. YES!

I think that 900NM is going to be a handful anyway.

I was seriously thinking of using RIPS and he was very helpful but as it turns out Sydney was too far :(

Have seen some of the motors CRD have done and they can be very strong.I think he specializes more in the upper range HP , but ?

Have a look on Piglets rebuild, there is a vid of Steve Ka's time attack runs at WTAC 2014, that would get the blood pumping to your low head, haha

If you didn't know but Jhh racing in Qld build great motors as well, just saying...

The motor is fine Ali, just a few touch ups and away we go.

You can see the boost drops off from 24psi @ 150kph to 18.5psi @ 250kph ish, at the 381.7kw mark, there is something wrong with this and it will be checked out and fixed.

I also think there is more to get down low from a different type tune :)

Going off the Dyno Graph, what do you think the KW would have been if it held the 24psi until the 7000rpm.

I maybe wrong and I'm no expert but I think you maybe at your limits of pump fuel, hopefully the e85 tune will give you what your chasing.

CRD build tuff cars and I've witnessed it in person last week. But I feel CRD did that tune for a reason, maybe ask the tuner the question?

Also what is your engine compression ratio?

sounds like your power hungry

You can still get a c63. Oh oh, saw a M6 today. That shit was hot, and sounds so good

If you are practicing to be a DH, you can stop, the Dux you are :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

I might be 100% wrong but I believe it should be better than it is.

So you think the boost should start tapering off at 5000 ish rpm with the mods I have ??

You may be right about the pump fuel, but that does not mean it cannot be better down low, it is not much better than when it was a 2.6 apart from the torque until the turbo kicks in

I have always said that CRD builds tough motors and gets some big HP going.

I asked the question to them 4 days ago why the boost tapers off , I got nothing ?

Anyway, I will have it checked out and we will see what the problem is and fix it very soon. Maybe it will go better , maybe it won't ?????

But it is still fun to drive :)

Gets a massive single and complains about lagg...

Doinitwrong.

Just quietly my poor man's 2.6 made 320kw on pump with -7s..... Soon to be more with e85. Any man's guess as to what it will make... Guessing 350. Maybe more. I'd say the -7s will run out of puff at 350.

For people to say you need e85 for it to work properly should be shot. Unless it's a track build the idea of e85 is great but it's availability makes it mediocre at best. keep in mind I'm only flex tuning it because haltech and it was $200 more than setup on just 98. I will be running 98 most of the time.

If you are not happy with it now, pull the turbo off and go smaller and run less power. E85 will only bandaid the issue and not fix it.

I just had a look at both of your dyno runs, old and new. If piggaz calculations are right they only revved it to about 7250rpm...

Interesting if that's correct? Once again I could be wrong I'm not good at maths

The 3.2l is no miracle worker.

You won't get n/a response doesn't matter what you do. You can't get linear torque nor power with an low compression rb at the power you want. It just won't happen.

As I have said previously your turbine is to small to make any significant power in excess of what you have now. To tell you the truth I recon CRD did a pretty good job trying to tune that turbo on your setup it must have been a nightmare.

In a nutshell, you either need to decide on higher power or better response, you can't have both.

People have been telling you this all along.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
