Location: Invercargill | hey man 122kw on 6psi on a t25 aint that bad really ! extra 4psi is a big difference , but man id upgrade that external gate ! i had nothing but problems with my cheapy external inconsistant boost levels one day running 10psi nicely next day wondering why car seemed faster .......15psi plus them bleed taps dont work very well they do tend to drop off . why did you have a tap on if you got a external gate ? are you only running a 4psi spring or something? |

Location: Invercargill | also with that egc vavle when tuning it , wont your tune be all messed up if you tune it for open and try run when its closed ?? cause since your not changing your boost level or kpa intake reading on map sensor you dont go into a new row on your ECU wouldnt the only way to make it work properly to have a electronic switchable boost controller that flicks on when you open EGC vavle alowing to be tuned in the new row (since kpa is up) this way you can boost all day all good (tuned+closed egc) and when you open your EGC and flick your boost controller your tuned for that aswell since its at a different level . im talking in LINK terms but camfc whatever you got should wotk in similar way |

I agree with what you are saying about the valve open and closed needing a different tune for both , my initial idea was to tun efor the gate open so that it wouldn't be leaning out when the gate wa sclosed. The way they have done it seems fucked up as it's going to be tuned for the gate closed and then lean out when the gate opens. Not smart but hey I'm no tuner i just put it together. | |

Location: Wellington | damn you Mike the suspense is killing me, this is the message I get when I try to view. The video you have requested is not available. If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process. I hope the 12 P.S.I spring fixes the boost problem, lookin forward to good results.

I just drove it down to see badcf4 and on the way home I gave it a boot in first (not a dropped clutch just an ease into the throttle) when boost came on it just lit up both front wheels and went apeshit all over the road.  I think it's the torque coupled with the low diff more than the horsepower.It's got me worried about what a 12psi spring could do though! I drove past a cop too which got me thinking i need to stay out of the drivers seat until it's at least road legal.  ops: | |

Location: Auckland  | Ive just been reading through this, and its helped me alot. I have kinda been thinking about force induction on my D series engine, and this cleared up a few questions. I still have some researching and some saving to do... $$$. When, or if the time comes, you wouldnt mind if I shoot you a PM with a few questions would you? BTW, car looks awesome. Good work man! |

Location: Wellington | Hey mate, another option instead of buying a T28 or TD05 (plus having to change the flange) is to fit a compressor wheel and cover from a T25G which is from early sr20det's. The a/r on a standard t25 is 0.48 (from memory) but the T25G is 0.80 (bigger comp wheel/cover). Basicly you can bolt these onto you existing turbo and have much better top end/boost won't drop off. I have one if you are interested. It needs a rebuild though as the seals were getting smokey. But as you say, you are planning to rebuild anyway. Let me know if you are interested, don't want much for it really (have changed to a T3/4 setup). ps. very nice build 8)

Location: Auckland | Ok well its been a while since I've done anything but now it's at performance metalworx in Silverdale getting a cage put in it. I'm going for a half cage with a few extra bars to stiffen it all up.    It should be ready mid next week and then I'll have to get serious about getting it all sorted and ready for the certifier. (which means temporarily ditching the dump system :wink: ) I need to get the rice lights (and no I'm not ditching them i like them) aligned and working properly and build proper brackets to hold the front bumper. The part which originally took the bracket has now been removed for the intercooler. And that reminds me, the intercooler need bracketing too, either that or I'll get a new one. The turbo has got really bad and is starting to smoke heavily so I'm having that re-built after next week, there is no way in hell I'll make the Superlap which would have been a good debut but never mind, Taupo is coming up soon. Bring on next week I cant wait to see it all caged out. |

They found some rust under the sound deadening by the accellerator pedal which had to be repaired and added a bit to the final bill. $1506 all up. I will get pics up as soon as possible. | |

Location: Auckland | OK I finally picked it up this morning, final price was $1506, $1200 for the cage, the rest for the rust repair. I must say it looks really good i am very happy with the final result and the workmanship is impressive. It's good to see somone who's proud of their work and take time to do an excellent job. I very highly regard these guys, top effort, top result. As you can probably tell i'm pretty pleased! Here's the pics anyway,        |

I'll flat black it soon and it has to be wrapped and padded up. Maybe tomorrows job, there's quite a bit to do, re-routing fuel and brake lines around the bars etc. They had to displace them to allow for the bars and plates etc to be welded in. Quote:

Not yet, still only running 5 psi but it's got a shit load of balls on the road, seriously it's the fastest thing I've ever driven thats for sure. I've been recommended by link to go to Hytech in Pukekohe, I'm going to reinstall the link and use it for boost control. For now i just have to tidy it up and get myself a cert and wof. Oh and thanks for the comment too Haydz! | |
