Thanks! Yeah, I'm happy, but just want to tighten up the actuator and boost controller responses so I can squeeze a little more out of it, and do so more smoothly. Then....see what 17.5psi nets me. :D

Wheel horsepower. I don't think dynos will output flywheel horsepower (bhp) unless there's some sort of modifier that can be programmed in. The estimated bhp would be around 283bhp.

Re: Dyno results

What spring is in the Kinugawa actuator? The 1bar one. But when I installed it, I set it to respond similarly to the stock actuator as a starting point, because I also was installing a newly rebuilt ct20b and wanted to have a low starting point and adjust up from there. With the actuator arm turned...

Dyno results

Went to a local dyno day this Saturday and put the car on the rollers for 3 back to back runs, no time for adjustments. First the details, it's a Gen2 at 15.5psi on 93 octane with the following mods: ARC intake, ARC intercooler, ct20b, Kinugawa actuator, Berk downpipe, 2.5" b-pipe, GReddy SP ex...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] half throttle turbo neighhhh

I have an answer to what this stems from. I've replaced the VTV attached to the by-pass valve (blow-off valve), and it now opens and shuts more strongly, so there's no flutter and no horse neighing sound. My wife was actually sad to not hear the sound anymore, she thought it was a fun sound. :) This...

Re: Refurbed Alloys

REALLY like these!!

Is it "Shadow Chrome 2" or "Black Chrome 2"? You called it both? I'm dropping my wheels off to be refinished tomorrow, and would like to see if they can refinish them in that color.

How's the black paint on the barrel holding up?

Re: Leftovers - Android OBD1 Group Buy

If you download the app meant to be used with it, there's a built in glossary that shows all of the data it tracks and shows.

The app is TOYOBD1.

How much coolant loss with coolant neck outlet housing removal?

Like the title says, how much coolant can I expect to lose by removing the coolant neck outlet housing? Because of its location, is refilling as simple as filling up to the radiator cap, without having to worry about burping the entire system?

This is for a Rev2 turbo.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] identify mystery JDM modified ECU

That one is a metal badge. If someone has one or can make something similar to that, then that would be great! But, I was referring to the smaller stickers that go on the side, similar to this: http://www.pakwheels.com/forums/attachments/engines-powertrain-parts/1308428d1385532633-fs-sard-analyse-ec...

Re: Project REV5 Turbo ............ Lots of big changes

Would gladly do so, but shipping a bumper from the UK to the US would be ridiculously expensive!

I can hope and dream though. :)

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] identify mystery JDM modified ECU

Rob,

If you find someone to make up some replacement stickers, would you see if they can make up some replacement SARD Analyze stickers? I would like to have them for my SARD ECU.

Thanks

So funny that you wanted the narrow plate rear bumper, and all I want is a UK/Euro wide plate rear bumper.
