At least a bleed valve would hold boost steady :P

I'm using a Turbosmart eBoost, in case anyone can offer any solutions or suggestions...

you could give your actuator rods a few mm more preload it will help hold higher boost levels... thats what i needed to do to hold 30psi steady, my base boost is now 14 psi with zero setting on my id3 blitz controller...

well done with those power levels so far...

hope this helps....cheers...

....More than enough for track work IMHO.

Now it's time to attack the car with weight reduction :P

:werd: ... As long as you are still making good power up top, i seriously doubt even guys with 400+rwkws will be able to match you coming out of a corner and have enough of a straight to catch and overtake between corners. ;)

Yeh now you need to rip off the HICAS, throw in some Kevlar seats and goa rac'n :headspin:

great results merli thats what we expect as well.

when does the boost start,and could you post a copy of your dyno graph,as i think everyone would like to cheack it out. how many kays did you put on it before the tune and who was it that did the tune if you don't mind?

dough boy do you think it could be the exhaust housing that could be causing the boost struggle.

another thing was that on the HKS web site they state that the SS's are ment to flow as much as the 2530,320hp each i think.

i don't know how true that maybe ,but i've also seen a HKS dyno graph the a set of SS's on a 2.8L and 274deg camed car pull 750HP at the engine!

has anyone SEEN! big figures from GTSS's.

Merli again great result

by the was we are using a blitz i-D boost controller if that means anything,seems good but it hasn't seen any boost yet so hard to tell.

merli, i had a turbo smart e-boost put on my gtr last week and its working really well, turbo's are spooling faster as its helps hold the wastegates shut for longer. make sure your gate pressures are set right, they tend to spike and fluctuate a bit if set to sensitive and make sure your over boost shut down is set atleast .2 bar over your max setting... see how that goes

I bought ours of Dough boy but i'm not sure if he will get anything more from japan otherwise i would have got them of nengun!

the kit comes with 2xturbos 1xexhaust gasket and the little hoses that you need and it shows how to install them as well.

i was just at supernats and saw joe but his RX-7 into the wall not a pretty site but he's OK.

his car is stuffed.

I just heard through the grape vine that merli/andrews R33 GTR which just made 300awkw just died at the race track, i heard that it threw a main bearing. or something i hope this isn't true as i couldn't think of a better drag, than a r33 gtr with the same turbos and the same cams.

Andrew can you tell us, what happened?

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
