WTF!!! It's back! WTF-323 update

[ROB-80E]

Thanks the the overwhelming responce guys, much appreciated!!

Also, how is the overboosting?

Don't know as yet sorry mate. I'll let you know when she's got off the dyno and i actually open her up.

Yup I am doing an enbuild too but I only went .5mm overbore. Wiesco pistons baby

I actually didn't have a choise...my engine was already 20thou over, so then the bore got scored, i had no choice but to bore it again.

Glad you have the Cam system running! your using the NA exhaust cam in the exhaust slot right???

Yeah mate, all sweet.

I am supposed to visit a buddy of my near Bondi in the spring are you near there? i have to see this thing up close.....

I about 2.5 hours drive north or there. My unlce is in Bondi though!! hehehe

Well guys, the result is in! As my gut feeling predicted, the engine wasn't able to beat my previous PB, but, it's not all bad. The first problem we hit was, i was unable to bring the boost on any harder than what's shown, my elec boost controller duty was maxed out, and anyone who knows elec controllers will know that this would normally cause massive boost spike because of boost coming on too quick...well not im my case. Second thing was, for some reason no matter how high the boost setting on the controller was, it wouldn't make over 18psi.

Anyway, here is the result.


Anyone who know's me, knows that I hate excuses when it comes to power figures/track times, and I say let the figures do the talking...well i can do that It appears that the turbo may be the problem, as it hasn't been sounding too healthy since being picked up from the smash repairers and having the metal ingress into the engine. So, if I could have wound the boost up to where i had it on my previous PB, it would have easily made a new record. See for yourself.

Red = current output
Blue = previous output before rebuild


So there's my proof that potential is there...as far as when I'll go about chasing a new figure...i don't know. As you could imagine, the car is still spastic to drive and honestly, who needs over 280HP. hehehe So at this point, i'll do a little bit of fiddling to make sure that the cause isn't something stupid that we didn't think of while it was on the dyno, and basically wait to see how sean's turbo rebuild goes with modding the GT30 internals into the GTR housings. Providing that turns out good for him, i may end up going down those lines too.

So there you have it!

[Lex]

Great numbers Rob! I am surprised that the turbo won't do more than 18psi ... perhaps it is the better flow of the new motor or something wrong with it.

What cam setup did you have? Did you go back to stock GTX cams?

[ROB-80E]

Yes mate, went back to stock cam setup. The exintake mod wasted my time and money.

As for the turbo, i reckon there's something wrong with it. On the second graph it shows the same turbo pushing 22psi and coming on alot harder.

[FE3-323]

just to clairify rob, i posted pictures let me know if this is what you did.

Me too! When you figure out the way to get it, let me know. I just want 2-3k USD, that's enough.
