HR + 304 + turbo build up

**Supercrown** · 15-06-12, 10:46 AM

Get yourself a cheap laptop and a wideband and you can do all the timeconsuming tuning yourself - cruise, light load, throttle pump, onto boost transition, up to mid range RPM full boost (no futher than that though on public roads simply due to speed).

It seriously is not that difficult, and you can start tuning gently and get the hang of it with very little risk to the motor. You need one person to drive the car and one person to watch the AFR and adjust the ECU via the laptop.

(the final step in tuning equipment it a knock box and headset - about $900-$1000, but you can do most stuff without it and have the ignition timing in the power areas adjusted for max power during the short power tuning dyno session)

If you go about it this way the only thing that you will need on the dyno is 1 hour or so for the full noise runs up to redline.

If you are interested in learming how I'd be more than happy to talk to you about it via PM or even phone call. In fact, I could even video tape the next tuning session I'm soing for a mate with a turbo TE 250 cortina so you get the idea.

Anyway - just an idea mate.

Thanks supercrown, yes i would love to learn about tuning. I have a laptop with the program on it and i have a wideband. I will PM you.

But serious, the power you are making now is more than all our original fun thrashboxes put together! slap it back together, plates, skids

Ill leave the rotors to you Ash

Yeah we had alot of fun in cars that weren't really that quick but could still lay alot of rubber. Im so keen to drive this so as soon as its back together its going on the road.

**hrt5l** · 16-07-12, 08:50 PM

Got this running again on the weekend, is running like a hairy goat though, no idea why. Also picked up a second hand open plain manifold for it, tested the airflow distribution and its much improved over the duel plane so i will throw that on after i get it drilled for injectors. Will get it regoed first though.

**nine2nine** · 18-07-12, 07:21 PM

so......powercruise???

**hrt5l** · 18-07-12, 07:46 PM

Given past performance and current economic situation i would say no.

**hrt5l** · 02-08-12, 07:50 PM

This is now registered. Just got to iron out the bugs now. Starting with why i only have 5psi boost, but at least i can drive it and sort things rather then wasting money on dyno time.

**ott308** · 02-08-12, 08:40 PM

Good shit mate, have some fun and enjoy it. Then start fucking with it again.

**hrt5l** · 20-10-12, 10:35 PM

So a bit of an update. Have had a few dramas since getting regoed. Found out the thermo fans draw alot of current and the alternator wasn't keeping up at low revs with the fans running, so i put a 140 amp alternator on it. This works well but at idle its still not charging enough because of the underdrive gilmer kit.

Then i had overboost issues, ive now disconected the boost controller and it seems ok so i will buy a manual boost tee instead.

Plans for now are to make a set of caltracks for it to get some more traction and avoid axle tramp, which it doesn't do but better to be safe than sorry as i broke the original diff that way. It also needs a bigger trans cooler as the auto gets a bit too hot. Then take it to willowbank for some fun.

Ive got to give it a good polish and then i will take some pics. Might take a small vid too.

**hrt5l** · 20-10-12, 10:53 PM

A pic i took at a show

Get many people staring at sleeper turbo v8 goodness?

It draws a crowd whenever i open the bonnet.

**nine2nine** · 21-10-12, 06:35 PM

Did recalibrating the wideband make any difference?

**hrt5l** · 21-10-12, 07:00 PM

Dont know i just took it home and put it back in the shed. In other news this things a lard bucket, i somehow managed to put 350kg in it. Weighed in at 1640kg with me in it, i weigh around 92kg so from 1200kg up to 1550kg. I was not impressed at all.

**nine2nine** · 21-10-12, 07:40 PM

Spewing. You're now fair game for the 929. Means you need more power then originally planned?

**hrt5l** · 21-10-12, 07:56 PM

Ample power to be had because turbo v8. Fair game for the 929 haha you must be a fast pusher.

**hrt5l** · 08-04-13, 09:44 PM

Small update, got bored of driving around on 7psi because of boost control issues so i decided to fix the problem.

This is my old wastegate location, its only got 2 25mm pipes feeding it one off each bank.

**hrt5l** · 08-04-13, 09:53 PM

Due to limited space the only other location for the wastegate was off the turbo housing. I decided to buy the newer style higher flowing 50mm progate to replace the older 48mm one.

So i started drilling and grinding untill i had this.

Then i got a 60mm thick wall water pipe and got a mate to tig it to the housing for me.

Then i got out the old mig welder and plumbed the wastegate back into the old pipe

And thats as far is ive got so far but im fairly confident it will cure my boost contol issues

**ALLMTR** · 08-04-13, 10:07 PM

I forgot about this car. Looking awesome!

**hrt5l** · 08-04-13, 10:13 PM

Thanks, yeah its still here.

**Commotion** · 09-04-13, 05:50 AM

Good stuff mate. New gate location should do the trick.

**ott308** · 09-04-13, 06:21 AM

Nice job mate. You can not appreciate how tight it is in there from the pics, need to see it in person!

**JZK25** · 09-04-13, 07:06 AM

That'll work nicely, only way to fly on setups like that where you have 0 room.

What ecu are you running?

Its an old wolf 3d v4 that i bought before i was even going to turbo this. I would like a newer ecu that can run full sequential fueling but i cant justify the purchase price and tuning for little or no gain.

Wolf. *shudder*

**SR20 KE30** · 09-04-13, 03:30 PM

Man that did turn out good. Teething issues are almost all sorted now.

This is pre-entered for the next one day powercruise too I believe.

**ott308** · 09-04-13, 03:59 PM

Shit yeah! I mate take down the binoculars for some spectating.
