169 mph in 201 metres? Are you on drugs?

It's all about efficiency. Plain and simple. Just to rub it in, the ute makes 370rwkw @ 15lb peak through an auto

Get a few quotes before you get your car taken anywhere. Had the same dilemma with the ute a short time ago with the head lifting at 400rwkw causing extreme detonation on all 6 pistons - to the extent that chunks of spark plug were embedded where the valves seat. :( Try John at brisbane tuning and turbo, and ask him about the blue ute. He took took the engine out and apart after he was given the vehicle sans manifolds/pipework etc and installed a new longblock. Well priced, nothing was a hassle, and even ended up with more power at less boost and timing after his tune. There are others around, just get a few prices before you shell out your hard earned.

Was in the ute running ~375rwkw when we had some fun with the gtr. Made the GTR look a bit slow, but as was the ute by a 1000cc bike

Chopped an r35 gtr last night.... f*ck they are a nice car

The ute spent over 8 hours on the dyno last week for a new street tune and made a very safe 375rwkw @ 14.5 psi and a heap less timing. A gain of 20+ kw at 4 lbs less boost and about 7° less timing. Go figure. Big thanks to John at Brisbane Turbo and Tuning for all of the work that's gone into the ute.

The ute and a few signed up toys

Can expect a much stronger top end.

Guy's old car IIRC. Immaculate is an understatement. Worth every cent in my humble opinion. Seriously quick on the circuit as well. Congratulations on the purchase 57ING.

The way those collectors merge is sexual. Will take and put up some pics of the ute tomorrow.

Not true. Have done the testing and got the results. RE surgetanks, if you have the time, make your own... for a quality product that you know fits, buy PW.

One too many mufflers

sh*t. Actuator fouling on the engine mount gave no, and then sporadic boost in all gears. 12.1 @ 122 and 11.8 @ 118. With sh*te 2.1 60 footers. Problem was fixed on Monday by Mr Turbo, big thanks. But by twisting the rear housing around we cracked the oil drain so she was leaking all the way back from the coast Putting in a braided line tomorrow to fix the issue. 11.61 @ 116 is the pb to beat when it had 320 rwkw.... now just have to do it.

Mind you though, the car has had a pretty easy life. Hardly gets a workout on the street, only the one trackday thus far and about half a dozen trips to the drags. I think that has been the key in addition to regular gbox oil changes and not letting it get too hot. Good luck mate.

Forced, no signs of any damage yet. Shifts are firm without any weakness to speak of yet (touch wood.) Though there was a problem the other night at the drags, but turns out that the actuator rod was fouling on the engine mount and sticking every now and again. Issue being sorted as we speak, so keen to hit the drags again and see how she goes.

You will need a different mounting bracket for the actuator too, standard one may also be able to be modified.

Mate, obviously just stirring. No issue from my side, I appreciate the work put into your car and look forward to lining up I predict two very expensive sets of black lines to be left behind in our wake.

Bit of an amature statement indicative of most of your posts ufortunately. How would one expect a reliable reference of performance (peak power in this case) to be provided to the wheels if there is excessive clutch slip? You can't tune for a rev-range where power should exist but doesn't due to the transfer and delivery. The car is certainly a nice package though, congratulations on your achievements to this date. Look forward to bumping into you on the street

Rather subjective, but: Big cooler/piping + free flowing exhaust + turbo/gate modifications + boost + good tuner = 400rwkw

Stainless is fine. Use 304 ≤1.2mm wall tube.

Opted for the .70 cover to make some gains in the top end when the turbine side starts to choke the compressor. Has definitely worked, it just wants to keep on making more power. Will see where it's limit is when the bigger cooler goes on. Certainly didn't inhibit the cars ability to produce boost down low as these earlier runs show :o As Lee said, just the springs and retainers have been done. And as far as times on the quarter, well, let's not speak about tens, don't want to jinx ourselves do we?

Bringing up an old thread I know, but just had to add an image which lends itself to proving some of the thoughts aired in here incorrect. Commanding boost with the .70 cover/standard compressor wheel combo clearly isn't an impossibility. These runs aren't indicative of the final tune, but examples of just what the turbo is capable of producing. Still more left in it, even through the ZF. Cooler was starting to become inefficient, so will report back when that has been upgraded in the next month pending availability.

Daily tune was on 98, and race tune used a race fuel brew equating to ~106. Standard bf series motor with aftermarket valvetrain. Turbo has usual porting job with heavier actuator and a .70 cover (standard wheel) Keen to hit the track and see what times it's capable of. Bigger PW cooler on order, would love to see 420+ when it's fitted up.
