Loose turbo nutzz?

 

I've had to tighten mine several times.

 

 

Just my preference but I would drive around the issue until I could sort out the parts.

 

I'd fit them myself and then get it tuned, thereby making the most of my tuning money so the hp per dollar ratio stays good.

Yeh I hear you mate, but it's also sh*t on fuel think if a retune it now then hold off for a few months I'll get my money back on fuel saved lol, plus I feel very uneasy driving it after hearing it detonate the other night ☹️️

Checked those when I changed the oil feed line. They were all good surprisingly. 

 

@RJF6

when you say sh*t on fuel how bad is it?   

They're not known for they're fuel economy.

if not this then a cracked dump/manifold/etc. I see so much here about the tune being at fault, of course the tune will be at fault if something mechanical has changed.

 

hmmm maybe it might have a stuffed O2 sensor....either from age or from the car running too rich which has fouled it.

as far as I know o2 sensors adjustments are not used at WOT only at cruise, could definitely be stuffed though being 11 years old and contributing to poor fuel economy, I cant hear any noticeable exhaust leaks but that doesn't mean they are not there, so I will have a good look for them.

As for me thinking its in the tune its an argument that makes sense, I've heard the car ping (big time) and I'm guessing that at the times it feels flat its because the car has hit R&R before an audible knock,

I started this topic (being a noob) to learn about the limits of the standard parts I'm still using so I could gain a little extra power, and thanks to your comments and the info on the forum I have completely changed approach on this.(Although still an absolute noob)  now I'm thinking turn it back to a safer level and save some coin before reaching for more!!  

and here is the dyno graph!!

Well the first tank I got about 500klms of 6th gear freeway driving from Sydney back home,

second tank driving to and from work and a bit of a hoon on the weekend 320klms pretty poor I thought!! Car is telling me it's averaging 15 odd lt/100ks, and I hardly hit boost during the week is that considered bad for one of these? ?

[ROB83R]

My stock BF is only just better than that. I'm at 14.4l/100

I'd sacrifice a few km's per tank to gain 100+rwkw. 

[Puffwagon]

That is not good. 

 

I use about 8 per hundred on the highway in an auto. 

[RJF6]

Yeh that sounds a lot better on the pocket, need to sort that out ?

[ROB83R]

Mine is not good by any means. 

The best I've seen it was 13.5 on a cruise with these crazy kents through the bush. 

Might change my fuel filter.
