Hey skyman (sorry forgot your name),

Met you last Friday at the Calder Park drags, i have the red perl 33 with charcol rims.

At what rpm are you experiencing knocking?

Looking at you graph, i would say that it is pretty strong, it may have not reached the 250 mark, but i wouldn't be disappointed. Was the turbo brand new? Where did you buy it from? There are so many cheap Chineese products out there, that is currently flooding the market.

Hope to catch up at another Calder Drag Day.

3" you may find will be a restriction around 250rwkw its hard to say. it depends on the turbo a/r and the engine as well and how it flows (ie: lots of things). boost is a restriction to air, if you take away the restriction (aka larger exhaust) it can flow more air at the same boost pressure, and thus make more power. as more air being moved around makes more power. if he does find that dropping the exhaust gives him another 20rwkw odd ish then i woudl suggest looking into a 3.5" split dump/front pipe combo and a bigger cat, at least as a start anyway.

i dont think 3" is good enough for 300rwkw you can certaintly make that power with it (well i think anyway) it will just have stacks more backpressure and resistance. it would be much wiser to take away the resistance and make the power "easier" then causing lots of backpressure.

the powerfc boost controller kit uses the apexi avcr solenoid but different controller module / unit

I made almost 300rwkw with out cams... but once cams went in it jumped and was far more driveable... No stuttering or loss of power through the revs...

fpr and fuel pump are a must to go over 250rwkw... For safty reasons...

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
