Redline was having overheating problems when he first turbo his so he brought the alloy PWR unit and said it was the biggest waste of money....... just thought i let you know.

Its funny you mention that, I have heard the same thing from different sources too

Shane001 put one in his track Supra & reckoned the temps went up by 5 degrees

Ben did you ever post your Dyno sheet?

Can i see it if you have it?

Post by **aza013** » Wed Feb 17, 2010 4:02 pm

no don't post the dyno sheet up yet hang out until the final tune has been done

lol, its ok, will give a good comparison. This was the initial tune from before xmas.

Was at 16 pound, pump fuel & a very hot day. Final tune we expect to see another 30 odd kws come from cam gears & maybe another 10 across the board. See how it drops down at the top end of the rev range, thats exhaust timing letting it down. The plan is to see that line keep rising with some retaration on the verniers.

looks great..... but what's that dip round the 160kw mark?

Post by **Bennoz** » Thu Feb 18, 2010 11:03 am

That's when it spooled up & tried to jump off the rollers

Bolted my air filters together today, as each intake pipe was moving around a bit. And before you all ask, all I have to do is release the hose clamps on the front pipe & I can remove both the filters quite easily

And only 3 or so smokes in the ashtray.. Must have been a quick job... Lol...

I am interested to see how this goes.. Mainly cause with the Evo engine, I had that up to 238kw @ the wheels.. And that was just withered bigger turbo and intake on what was a pretty much stock set up.. Mind due that was @ 20psi though...

lol yeah it wasn't a long job.

Was that 238 at all 4 wheels thou?

Na.. Front wheels.. When it was in the Sonata.. Was starting to jump out of the Dyno and the FWD couldn't take anymore power..

I haven't dyno'd the Lancer yet... But should have about the same power as I nodded it more with cars an other things here and there..

Haha it tried to jump off the rollers haha. Ben mine goes in for the new ecu today it will be good to see how I go on 16psi and it is always hot in Darwin lol. Let's hope all goes well

That's a novel solution to the intake problem there Ben... gotta say that I have never seen that before. +1 for ozzy ingenuity... question... you gunna box that?

Post by **I8A4RE** » Sat Mar 06, 2010 1:24 am

Ben just started reading your whole thread again....yes i know i have no life.

Do you think the 6A13 intake manifold and plenium would bolt directly onto the 6A12. as you said the ports look way bigger then stock. Might be a nice simple upgrade????

Good question

You would have to do both sections of the intake I'd say, you know the lower section that actually bolts to the head... thats where the big ports are.

If that's possible, it would yield an improvement to even the N/Aers

Looking good Ben. very nice indeed

If any one has a 6A13 manafold sitting around I can do a test fit on the parts motor to see if it fits, you will get it back after

Nice work Ben, good to see that it's on the road

.. sorry to hear about the overheating though

I should have mine back on the road by mid next week with a brand new clutch kit installed

I'll check out what radiator fans are on mine & let you know.. I think they're just standard fans

The only time mines really overheated badly was when I first got it & the cruise control was stuck on, so it was idling & driving over 3k revs & in boost range the whole time.. so the coolant was boiling out of the filler reservoir..

After that it hasn't majorly overheated even on the hottest days .. the temperatures creep up over halfway when you've been on the boost non-stop for a while, but they come back down within a few minutes when you ease off .. Drove the whole way to Sydney & back, on the boost most of the time & didn't have any issues ..

That said, I'm definitely going to be cutting some vents in my bonnet for the extra airflow!

Do you know if we can put in a bigger water pump? Or would that be pointless?
