Thanks for the positive feedback. With the whole power thing I think it's just an ego thing... I am running eBoost which has three stages, so I can have different boost settings. I guess I just wanted to be able to tell "some" people I had more power.. I'll pack my ego up and be happy... Yeah Dattodude it'll be good to catch up and talk. I think I could learn a few things from you guys...
nice !!! do u think u really need more than 200kw???? jem is a very good place, my mate had a 4age into sprinter conversion done and has had some other work done, he sold the sprinter that jem did the cnversion on,to adam at jem and he is now turning it into a drift car !!!
Well I got a Haltech E6X installed yesterday. Everything was going well until I found out the stock wastegate on the turbo wouldn't hold over 17psi. We did this run on 20psi and had intension of boosting to about 25 psi but.... As you can see it hits 20psi at 4000rpm and by the time it reaches max power, boost dropped to 17psi. Now I originally had plans to crack 200kw which unfortunately went astray but with the overall tune and the way things run now I couldn't be happier. I am now working on an external gate to hold things shut a bit longer as I really am keen to break 200kw. Not much use really when you think about it. At 178.8kw, rolling start in second and accelerate it breaks traction at the end of second and most of third so I can't really even use all of this at the moment. I'm still extremely happy with the drive of the ute now and have Adam at JEM (Just Engine Management 9600 6567) to thank for all this.
Yajokn looking at dyno graph it looks like a very smooth & usable power graph. My guess is the turbo would be close to maximum flow. In a 1200 ute I can imagine how much fun it would be to drive. In my opinion going for the extra 20kw will be bit of a waste as you wont really be able to use it as wheelspin wil become more of a problem. A freind of mine has just made 260 rwkw in his Ca18 has cams big turbo ect no power under 5000 rpm :( a bit of a dog to drive untill on boost !!! my 1200 is just as quick with 190rwkw making power from 3500!!!! its not just max power that makes a fast car its where it makes the power.
