3040 bigger then 3037 right?

yeah i fink i should strengthen my box though

coz like i dun want it blowing when i start gettin up to the power output i want:)

so roughly i am after 300-400hp

do i really need to get a trust plenum for that sought of power?

adrian

Adrian,

No you don't need a Trust plenum for that, but it makes it easier to get that power. 3037 is HKS variant, they make minor adjustments to trims etc, over the garret unit. Both are around 550-600hp.

The box should be fine, how were you going to strengthen it?

See'ya:burnout:

what i meant

by strenghtening

was geta stronger box

u know like them aftermarket shifters?

but then i would rather spend the money on getting a manual conversion done ahh well auto will do for now, ah so ur using a garrett turbo smae specs as hks turbo?

but cheaper am i right?

so ur saying to build up revs in a auto, have the car in drive, and keep foot firmly on brake while reving then let gooff brake when it's time to roll?

adrian

Bully,

Seeing as your up, and I don't trust Adrian's opinion, can i ask you a serious question?

With these SAU shirts, would you like for us to organise one of each to be made so that all those interested could see what they are getting before they buy? I was thinking about one mans(L) and one womans(M), it would give people a better idea about sizes aswell.

See'ya:burnout:

Adrian, Yeah that's the best way to launch an auto.

Garret sell HKS some of there turbo's, which are only sold by HKS, therefore you cannot get a Garret turbo which has the same specs as the HKS one. But seeing as the HKS one is over $1000 more then I don't see where the real benefit is, I'd rather go for the Garret one which produces similar power.

See'ya:burnout:

troo troo good point

yeah i read bout garret providing hks turbos

and it also said who the other jap houses

got their turbos from :)

okay so the trust or subzero plenum is goin to be a 11th hour decision for me as well ;) argh i hate decisions

adrian :)

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
