I'm thinking 10th December?
It's going to be so hard for everyone's planets to align but my November is gone.
This date seems to be the only option before Xmas carnage?
Otherwise it's held off for a blistering Melbourne summer Jan?
If there's too much complication we might have to do a poll maybe.
My thought is we keep this off till next year as most are under the pump....but :)
Either way i'm happy for the 10th...LOL I'll be there
January = stinking hot , February could be snowing......hmmmm decisions decisionsQuote:

In 1986 I was fortunate enough to sit in the 4th row, centre stage, to watch Sting for his Dream of the Blue Turtle Tour and saw him sing this song live. No one was aloud to stand at the front. Was Awesome!Quote:

Couple of small leaks from hose clamps not done up but that's it, we did well!!!
Can't wait to drive it home!
Was just about to ask how it went. Has he given it a run on the dyno?
Woohoo the GQ'U is back!Quote:

Thanks everyone, It's official, the GQU is back on the road and driving beautifully!!!
This engine seems to be very neat!!!
Yep I got a moderate tune so I can just get out and enjoy some camping time for now, I'll post up the results later on.
The look everyone gets after emptying their bladder on a Yota.Quote:

Sooooo good to be back in the GQU again!
Moderate tune eh! ? Think I'd be pretty happy with that. Glad to hear motor is good thought it would be. What was the reason for exessive smoke, pump timing?? Not too sure about this GQU thing, might have to put that silver rocker cover on i think. . . Anyway time to enjoy the thing time to hit some tracks ☺Quote:

That's an awesome outcome for a "moderate tune".
Good to see its alive and well.
As for "the donk donk party' I think it's safe to say next year.for us too..
But if it happens before I'll be there.. Wife and kid free.
just don't f$ck this one up hey
oh well done by the way
No point dressing up in drag mate. We all know whats underneath. ;)Quote:

Well this is a first, my EGT's are too low.
Even pushing it in 4th up the big hill to home it only gets to 250 degrees.
Is there such a thing as too low?Quote:

Also the tune is very lean. We dont drive very often if at all like a dyno is performed. So basically to low a temperature means you are losing response and efficiency. You want a safe max EGT. You can cruise at 350 degress with no issue even 400 degrees but you want the temps to remain stable. Andys setup has awesome potential to get this near spot on and it will be even better to drive even at his current torque/ power levels.Quote:

250 Degress is his max temp even under load. The 197kw and 900nm run is very very good. You can see with the latest one his boost dropping from around 2500 this is also subsequently the same time the afrs lean out to like 22:1.Quote:

I was told by many it was because of the restricting intake. This is all changed, and the boost drops off just the same. Wish there was someone down here that looks into stuff this more. I feel like a dickhead when I go to a workshop and try to explain this and they just look at me with a blank face then chuck it on the dyno and just play with the pump.Quote:

There are a few factors that can do what you describe. It is most evident of a fuel pump setup. Most run of the mill pumps dont do much in the favour of supply and timing beyond 3200rpm. I could nearly guarantee this is about when your power levels and boost start tapering off. The other part is wastegate and its actuation. For best results you really need to run an electronic boost controller, turbosmart do some very nice ones. An electronic boost controller will see your boost hang on longer and be much more stable with the gate also setup correctly. With a electronic boost controller the pump will more than likely be the hold up. Once the pump is sorted then things like intake manifold and other mods will need to be done to maintain torque with a really nice torque rise.
Legend! Are those electronic boost controllers something that need to be fitted and tuned by a shop?
No. They are very easy to wire up and setup. The turbosmart ones come with very good literature. Turbosmart gear is very high quality which is reflected in the prices. Be aware this will let you know if your current actuator is correctly sized.Quote:
