Well she's all booked in for the 26th of August. Pretty excited to have all the gear in it running some serious power! The bro also has his car booked in with similar mods so should he interesting to see how both cars go It'll be handy too so I don't have to hide all these bits and pieces from the missus!

No not at all john Bruce and I spoke again today and all is in harmony Me and daz have a dyno yes but iys our hobby and a few will migrate over and that's fine as me,daz,bruce are all 100% ok with whats happening And that's the way it will stay

Did you catch it for him velocity?

So my soon to be ex mate who booked our room at the backpackers didn't book a whole 4 bedder room. We opened the door and some asian dude who I'm now bunking above was whacking off. FFFFFFUUUUUUU

if the afr's did not change with the new fuel pump then you do not need to retune. But the fuel system is not your problem. if you are really worried about the number and don't want to spend a heap of money, get a dyno run from another shop and see how it compares, some shops strap cars down way too tight which can rob power, but if they do this for the before and after you can still see the legit gains. There are tests that can be done to work out if there is an issue, but that's not normally included in the cost of tuning, talk to Gentech about whether they did any test or just tuned it and whether they are prepared to diagnose it for you. Without trying to be smart so forgive me if it comes across this way, but you did the combination, you purchased the parts, you may have to accept that there is an issue with a part you have supplied. If you purchased a package from the tuner and they guaranteed "X" amount of power with the combo and it did not make it, it would be up to them to find out why, whether an issue with a part they supplied in which case they would chase up the supplier, or whether there was a problem with the car which would fall back to you. Tyre types can affect dyno readings as can wheel size, I know for a fact that Nittos rob power and are inconsistent on the dyno, great on street, not great for tuning. I had a G6ET once that would not go over 280 rwkw even though it had a 100 cpi high flow cat, a change to a 200 cpi cat and it went 305. The small turbo will not hold high boost in the top end and choice of hardware will impact how much boost it will have, some tuners have spiked the midrange up to 18 psi plus hoping to carry a little more boost in the top end, not really ideal for a nice driving car. Gentech are good at what they do, talk to them and see if you can work out a plan of attack if you are concerned

December, I will not be doing any tuning or getting involved in any problem jobs, I'll be close to having a baby in early December and sorry to say but that's going to be my priority and do not want to leave some one stranded half way through a job

Yes you can do it. Drive off boost and you wont have an issue.. Buuuuut if its an adjustable actuator I would suggest waiting and getting your tuner to install so he/she can set it to their preferred preload

^^^ and then the swans kick ass

You have to like Modding its like buying a boat it just keeps taking more money. At the top of the menu page that this thread is posted in is a great info thread (Just bought an XR6T not sure where to start). Some cool info in there im still reading it and finding out stuff. A must check out.

E85 + ID1000s = 452rwkw... street tune 17 degrees of timing and 21psi. it's insanity

Flight was too short. Spent more time taxiing around at the airport. Couldn't even order a ham and cheese toasty FFS.

Not gunna happen

Those milk bar kids are merciless whores Give them no quarter the upside is the weather is great in Subiaco right now. Bodes well for tonight.

WHAT? An admission fee? farrrrrrrrrr too much arthritis in my wrist these days, a slight case of mouth Herpes and I've got this rash...................... just having the pleasure of MY company should be enough yeah? on a side note, weird high pitch whistle (sort of) on boost when I went for a squirt today. hope the bearing's get'n oil

Can't wait to see your new car out on the road Keithy. Sounds like a real beast.

Haha that's funny. My missus found all my car parts under my swag and rags lol. She saw the funny side to it thankfully!

Saw this car on Newmarket road what a beast

Mate some reassuring stories and comments here which is good, and it goes hard I can attest to that. It was just how come the number is low and yes we all know it's just a number. If nothing else more broadly this thread I think is quite good because people get so many expectations and it's interesting to see how things don't always work out, as we see a few peoples stories on it. So pretty reassuring nonetheless.

Correct, I'm sure it was my post where I mentioned my mates 2010 FG XR6T ZF gave up after reversing the Malibu wake setter into the shed. My 2012 SR5 hilux was still the best towing car

It was a not so good event that caused the car to be suddenly unusable.

We will set one up once toms is done too.. I need some new rubber woody so you'll be fine for now haha Mines a bit stoopid at the moment I can't even fart near the throttle without loosing traction no matter the speed. It's fun just not fast

Buy a sedan

Someone paid money for that.............

I bet a few people don't open this thread due to the title, and fail to see the single tag I put on, hahaha. Glad you guys liked it.

I'm quite happy with my baby turbo built in power limiter keeping all the other bits in one piece.

Hey jules my MT tune with similar mods looks a lot like yours too, I have a 8psi actuator and my tune peaks around 15-16psi tapers to just above 12. Rob said he pulled the boost at the top as it wasn't going to much more power. I only have the stock CAI witha k&n but with a turbo back 3.5 Xforce so maybe with turbo side intake could have gone a few more rwkw. However I'm quite happy with what I have, torque and power both come on early making for a fun drive. When I had my surge fitted tha car was put on the dyno and just needed the AFRs tweaked a little( from memory described as a little fat). I added the PW surge/ PW2 IC/Nizpro overboost valve/flapper mod as security for more consistent, safer power on the street. Not a single dyno run. Just remember when others have to refuel at 1/2 tank you can still power down safely to the low fuel light!!! And still have decent power on a stinking hot day.

Quite a few people run big pumps and moderate boost and this makes a 4.5 bar regulator (such as those from 034motorsport with the oversize return) quite effective with a G302 52 lb/hr (GT500 injector). The six hole director plate, twin conical spray pattern and higher pressure result in decent fuel efficiency and quite high flow (~59 lb/hr). With this set-up the G302's were at 90% duty cycle at redline (6200rpm) in my BA being fed 16psi. I have no hesitation raising the bar (pun intended) when everything works in harmony!

The concrete plant left a pretty important ingredient out today. One load of Crete in the middle of a house slab with no cement in it.

No no...sit at the back ya never hear of a plane reversing into a mountain

I kinda want yellow brakes now

$2 gauges give $2 readings.

Fitted up my new brakes today. Still waiting on braided brake lines and new pads.

Got exactly the same car except for a BMC air filter and I hear it all the time - look forward to it actually......
