Had the car at Daltons in Geelong a week ago for Chris to do the final tune before Christmas.
Car made 176.2kw at the wheels on a 33 degree day. I also drove it all the way to geelong and back without a glitch. ( over 200kms )
it was running 17psi boost at 3000rpm, but dropped to 10psi at 6000rpm. So he believes when who ever high flowed my turbo didnt do something to it and so the actuator is opening too early. Since then on a cold day it happily spools to about 19 and sits there nicely for much longer though so i would be thinking its more around 200kw.
Even so it made nearly 5000 Newton of tourque and on the street, fucken hell it goes...
This tune up will do untill next year when the new TO4z comes... :lol: :lol:

    Hey mate.. the conversion I have done for a fraction of the normal cost because I have simply done everything myself. except the porting and machine work on the block.

    All up owes me around I estimate $14,000 but the amount of knowlege and fun i have learnt and had in building it is price-less.

    Nice setup.
    If the original turbo doesn't have a back-cut turbine wheel it will be choking itself, especially if its a series 4 turbo. The 2.5" exhaust is too small aswell. Backcut the turbine wheel, get an external gate and you shouldn't have too much trouble holding boost and should make 210rwkw without too much worry (depending if its a big compressor highflow).

    yeah mate your on the money... Im told its back cut, but not enough. To have it fixed and probably rebuilt while im at it will be over $5oo so just going to save up and get the TO4z and external gate i want early next year.
