Ok kids here is the latest...

On Saturday I drove up past Seymour to go shooting and there was a mix of highway and tight winding roads up some steep hills.

The pyro's the whole way were within except-able ranges but a a bit on the higher side compared to Matt's car and I was down on power.

On Sunday morning George showed me how to increase the boost and after some adjustment we traveled to the top of a hill on the property to get phone reception and test the boost.. before I was lucky to get 4 pounds but after it was showing 9 which I was told on the gauge I was borrowing was more like 7.5 but did feel better and the pyro's were a touch lower.

Today was the day as far as tuning went and the car went off to JPC and at 5.30pm I picked the car up to be told that before the tune I was getting 65kws and after they played with it I am now getting 88kws and it feels like a whole new car.... so bloody happy.

I have been told to finish off the bonnet scoop asap as my intercooler is like a heat soak.

The turbo funny enough turns out to be too big... this is not an issue but means the turbo takes a touch longer to spool up.

JPC did not give me a hard time about buying a Chinese turbo and Mark understands my situation.

Funny as I was eyeing off what turned out to be an even larger turbo but George talked me out of it... which was lucky.

Got a bunch a little and medium size jobs to do but nothing that will stop me driving my car from here on in.

I look forward to getting back out onto the tracks as it has been about a long time... I think it was May at Toolangi but someone else might correct me on that, either way it has been a very long time.

Thanks again to George for all his help.

Awesome stuff mate. Truly wrapped for you and glad you made it through without buying a jeep. Can't wait to see this thing!!!! I believe you have a day trip to organise now any way don't you?

[Bloodyaussie]

Cheers Lucus.... I think the only day trip I could arrange would be the 13th or 14th of December... even then its stretching it.

I would really like to do a test before heading away but just dont seem to have enough time.

[Ben-e-boy]

Thats about 120rwhp, thats what I had back in the day @ 13psi unintercooled i'd be happy with that.

I also had 65rwkw NA. . Right..... so when will we see 200kw?

What size is the turbo?

Hope I did not miss anyone?
