yeh happy with turbos but i was surprised at how much we gain with the install of cams and tuning them etc it went from 366 to 518 we adjust fuel and int to suit with like a 1 to 1.5psi increase to get a true 18psi the apexi power fc rules tho awesooooooome contol and repetability,the car starts like a std and idles nice with a hint of lump to it.

Don't you find it a bit strange that the intake air temp was 82 degrees??! Especially considering the ambient temp was only 25... Compare the IT on your 366 hp run and I'll bet you 5 bux it's nowhere near 82 degrees celsius. Still your car sounds lovely and power curve looks great. Just don't place too much stock in your 518 hp at the wheels figure...

Buster, Haha, who do you think got me the slicks;)

ND4SPD was running street tyres cause that was the category that we entered him for in Drag Combat.

last time i had checked, nd4spd did his 10 before drag combat so it has absolutely no relevance to his times. his best 10 was there though.

i remember doing his feature they day after it did the 10

he has never run on it slicks, bar one pass where he had slicks on the rear , so its not some sort of amazing thing that it does its times on street tyres, he just runs it like its driven. i dont think there was any real descision for him to run it on street tyres, the way it sounds from you paul its as if he decided to step back from slicks to street tyres soley for d.c

i know u didnt mean it to sound like that , but it sounds wierd and these eastern states boys wouldnt know better.

no internal mods(no forged pistons),bar tomei cams :rofl:

Hi mate, are you able to post up the 366hp graph? I would be really interested to have a look and compare it to the 518hp one.

Thanks,

Richard

ND4SPD was running street tyres cause that was the category that we entered him for in Drag Combat.

When you say "we entered him in" are you a part owner of SST or ND4SPD or just a nut hugger that likes to talk big

so the choice of street tyres wasn't made by the owner or workshop? but its something you boast about quiet frequently as its a true street car hahaha guys get your stories straight, so in other words its only a true street car because you were made to run street tyres

As for it being not allowed back Steve I very much doubt with the condition it was in after the crash it could of went back anyway and once repaired why not do what the rest of us have to and put a cage in it ect so it is legal to race

Paul is part of SST and so is ND4SPD and whats the story about ND4SPD?

It did have a knock against a curb but the damage is nothing like the storys and as for the cage,Why make a Race car out of a genuine street car that does the miles this thing does and a cage would have it put of the road first day out.

Out of interest, whats your idea of a street car? I know my car is a street car, as when its off the road im using public transport and itching to be able to drive it again, on average 25,000-30,000kms a year at least 6 days a week, typically 7 days (inc to-from work)

If it gets left in the garage as the owner has another car they prefer to drive day to day, then id say it aint a street car, as to me the owner doesnt enjoy driving it every day. Be it because its too loud, rough, powerful, or just too expensive/big an investment.

Thats my thoughts and everyones will differ from mine...so not wanting to get caught up in definitions, just trying to get a feel for what this car gets used for?

sorry mate unfortately we accidently erased the 366hp run cos we did alot of runs george was very pissed off when we discovered we had done so ,but basically we picked up power earlier with the advance on the inlet and picked up outright hp with exhaust advance and a bit opf int advance.

    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg    
    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.
