  1. Just remember that bigger turbos can be better for stock engines as they're not making ALL the torque in the midrange where ol mate rodney gets unhappy. As long as you have a good timing setup and oil pump gears, your better off making the majority of your power higher in the rev range. As long as you can deal with the lag though [emoji41]
  2. Ahhh yes, the old night cap and review the GoPro footage session [emoji108][emoji41][emoji106]
  3. Be keen to get some shots and your thoughts of it whilst driving around during the day. It's such a pity it's just a touch too big. Not saying I won't buy one, I just think it would look nicer!
  4. Without getting it on a dyno or having your own wideband its impossible to troubleshoot. Have you done all the obvious things like change air/fuel filter etc? As puff had stated, the right foot can have a lot to do with it....
  5. I must say I'm interested but can't for the life of me understand why they didn't shrink the screen a little. If they went to all the effort of integrating and reverse engineering the cars CAN network, why would they not do something simple like making sure asthetically, it looks nice?! Also, branding the device under the screen looks pox...
  6. I'm a maybe Gaz, provided we get the car finished before then an I can get work off on the Friday [emoji41][emoji106]
  7. Link looks borked mate, may chance you could just upload and attach through the forum direct? Keen to see some results of a 3584rs as you don't see many being used.
  8. I'd be going the 1700x's as I'm currently in the same predicament. The X series are very different to the original id1000's that I have and have even better characteristics. There's almost no reason to go small (1000cc and below) any more as the side effects of the larger squirters are almost zero. At least that way you're well covered for the future with little to no drawbacks.
  9. STFT and LTFT are only used in closed loop (think light load & cruise secnarios) and not in WOT conditions where fuelling in open loop is calculated straight from the base fuelling map plus some additional modifiers.
  10. Don't tempt me! lol The 42 already looks small!
  11. Guys I think you're being optimistic that a gen 2 gtx3582 will make 600rwkw, without ringing its neck. Heck, the 4202 Ive got don't seem to make that sort of power until you're pushing reasonable boost, 30+ psi. As much as the gen 2 stuff has improved, I don't think it's anywhere near the flow you'll require to make that power. With a 1.06 your stuck at about 32lbs of exhaust flow and 80lbs on the comp side. That's basically at the surge line as well and the comps only about 60% efficient there which is terrible. Too me, best case scenario that's around the 800 ish crank HP. Take into account the losses and your no-where near your 600rwkw. I think you're going to need a bigger snail [emoji6]
  12. Would loved to have jumped on it if I didn't buy the Haltech. I did get my mate who owns a workshop to jump on the deal though [emoji41] It's definitely a step above HP Tuners, which majorly sucked because at the end of the day the devs in the US didn't give a toss.. that and the market for them would be soooo tiny. Why would they bother to invest like a local company would! Good work guys keep it up. If I ever get nabbed by the boys in blue and have to go back to stock pcm, it'll def be tuned by pcmtec!
  13. Yeah I'm keen as faaaaark to get mine in as its just sitting on the bench waiting for firmware.. Along with the wideband kit I've already got, the flex and fuel pressure sensors are on order [emoji41][emoji106] For me the safety and felxibility was a no brainer over the factory comp. I'm trying to work out whether to ditch the eboost2 I'd just brought and fitted or keep it and run it as an input into the Haltech so I get in cabin boost control. It really would be a glorified boost gauge with switch though as I'd prefer the Haltech to do the boost control if at all possible. I'm even contemplating a racepak for the column to give me all the nice outputs I want like flex content. Not sure I can justify the cost just yet as they are expensive little buggers!
  14. Wow, just checked out those ez drain oil valves, order placed! Thanks man!
  15. It's a tial 1.02 vband rear. Yeah the cars manual, hence the smaller rear. Prob would have went a 1.15 if it had an auto in it. No doubt that'll prob come soon enough... Hahahah
  16. Yeah, lookin forward to going for a blast up in the hills soon! [emoji41]
  17. 6boost arrived so had to dummy it up and see how the new snail looked. Still got quite a bit to do though: - change rocker cover - run all new oil water lines for turbo - HPC coat the dump/mani - install the Haltech - new intake - tidy everything up Forgot how small the 42's look on a Barra!
  18. Just had some notification that they're still working on the FG firmware. Apparently the Mk2 is pretty close, the Mk1 is still a month or so off. Is anyone else close to Haltech that could possibly comment?
  19. Will just leave this here.. will be like a new car after having done all the timing with atomic hardware, gtx42 and now a new brain with live tuning and flex capability! Stoked!
  20. Just pulled the trigger. Included the wideband and flex sensor also [emoji41][emoji108][emoji106]
  21. Picked up the powder coated rocker cover I'd had modded with some -10 female fittings. Also picked up a mint N/A FG coil cover to finish it off.
  22. I sold my HPT mpvi pro dongle today [emoji41] Haltech is on the shopping list!
  23. The restrictor in line of the turbo won't change the overall pressure the engine sensor is seeing. What weight oil? I'd definitely say your oil pump is on the way out or there are some clearance issues internally...
  24. Nope, they're 3k+ depending if you go wideband/O2 or flex.
