TWIN TURBO EXTENTION..............





The idea is good but result is terrible.................There are many types of turbo extension (dump)pipe.....The purpose to change to this pipe is... let exhaust gas and pressure out more efficiently, Yes Most of Japanese parts are working good. However there are many copies.....



Like this twin pipe extension .............We tested without boost controller and run......the boost start from 0.5 bar(which is actuator preload) and end up....1.3 bar...........exhaust pressure build up at end...........worster than factory pipe.........minimum boost 1.3?
They are cheap...but you need to replace to another one.....wasted....



Be careful with these type.......From our test, Big single type (such as HPI or TOMEI) made more torque and better response than twin...... even better than HKS twin type......(same result for RB engine as well)..................

HKS NEW 2.8KIT


HKS has just released RB28kit.....all made in Japan and super response than previous model!
And cheaper than TOMEI!!?






Also this kit can use factory conrod( you can buy conrod less kit)!! Besides you can choose two piston size 86.5mm and 87mm!! Don't need N1 block??!!
Full kit around NZ$8000, conrod less kit NZ$5700
Good news!!!

NEW ITEM...........



We've got new fuel regulator from Japan........let's compare with SARD one
Almost identical, except color and sticker....looks same as Tomei one's......Made in Japan but almost 20% cheaper!!! Because no sticker and ....box is solid.....
And another item is HKS 2530turbo for RB26, this turbo has new intake housing, and also bit improved at top end power. But big different is turbo comes with HKS heavy duty actuator(old model didn't come with).



Garrett Japan!!??
This turbo is still best mach with Rb motors I recon, but price is still heavy duty as well!!

MANSON GTR



Another surprise is this black (cockroach alike) R32GTR......................We've been look after this creature few years now, but we didn't expected that much from this creature.....
Still stock body............over 1500kg........Yes fat ass........heavy.......... no carbon or lighten parts...





So we put big hairdryer inside roach and crank bitch up.........angry bitch did 58 second at Puke........BIG surprise!!....


This roach has nothing special.....most of parts are off the shelf.......
But almost retire??......
Roach is getting tired??!!.....no...still going.......

THE BOX HAS A POTENTIAL!!







This NISSAN box has a SR20DET.....................not from factory of course!
And came for DYNO TUNE!!??? ....................

Well the ECU is LINK old version.....Do not know which version but look at software.....Just basic............So we did just basic tune....not even boost controlled.

Result.......over 150kw at wheel at wheel......0.45bar of boost....... Feeling is bit strange...when you drive this box.......Because nobody is expecting power from this S*** box even low boost, but has a potential!!

CEFIRO........STILL ON ACTIVE!??



Not many sedan or saloon cars on Dyno for tune, but today we got this standard look Cefiro......1990' almost 20years old......time to retire.......old man........But when we started tune, this old man was getting angry...... grumpy old man.....
Very interesting shape intake...........factory engine with Garrett turbo.........Microtech ECU...(-_-)''

Struggling on the beginning but......finally got figure....over 325kw at wheel...16.5psi.....
Not but all...........................however.....this ecu maybe not suit for the Cefiro......I think.
