if you have driven or owned a car with a stock stall and a big turbo, you'd know its farken hard to get the **** to smoke the bags unless you have assistance on the spot!

just noticed this thread, that power sounds about right.
Mine made 252RWKW at 14PSI through an auto as well, I have dyno sheets to prove plus witnesses.
It is not impossible to achieve what Spike did
nice write-up mike.. been in this car many times including tonight, its defenitly got the power there so dont talk sh!t guys, its a nice clean example of a calais turbo, cant wait to see how she pulls with the new box n mods good luck with it mike i hope it brings u heaps of joy..
Thanks for the comments
I know I still have a bit more to do before I'm happy with it, but it has come along way from when I first got it.
Kane, it's not a high comp setup and yep she's been down the track.
I didn't say anything mainly because I thought I'd get laughed at,
but that was a while ago before the highflow was sold off as I purchased a gt35.
Charles, I was quite impressed with that time.
But like everyone else, I wan't quicker... lol
As with the dyno sheet, I know I had it and if some have seen my room,
it's like a bomb's hit it and I dunno where I put it, if I haven't thrown it out by mistake.
This readout was done with the link ecu and 444's and mesh on the turbo, no afm.
The car is booked in on Monday for some dyno time and to also check a few other things.
Seeing as the setup has gone back to closer to stock as in the chipped ecu and standard injectors, I'm not sure what it will do.

I dont get what the big fuss is about or its hard to belive the power figures.. as stated the dyno may have been a little abit out and a little happy but around 220-230rwkw with his setup isant impossible... I know of a few people who are making excess of 300rwkw on around 20psi with similar setups with dyno sheets and track proven times...
who cares how much power it has on a piece of paper
ive seen this car fly straight past mine sounding like an animal.
the things got balls. and it looks and sounds tuff.
so nice job

I went in today get my air fuel ratio checked and to get a run on this setup before I start putting everything on.
Where the car was originally booked in for was a joke and I wouldn't even recommend a scooter on there, let alone a car.
It looked like it was from the egyptian times... lol
After Jay suggesting a place, we then headed off to a well known shop in the import scene that also work on VL's
After having a few minor issues they got it on the dyno for a few runs.
The boost used was at the factory level for that turbo as I am yet to fit a controller as I'm looking towards the e-boost
During the runs the guys noticed that the fuel pump was failing and the spark plugs were gapped too far and causing misfire around 4000rpm.
That along with running a close to stock ecu and injectors and as I still have the afm in the factory position.
Thanks to Jay for the pic and video...
Video... *dial-up beware*
Result...
As most will know, I'm still waiting on the box to be built.
Taking a lot longer than was originally told, but building a car takes a lot of time & patience and as most will know my patience isn't my strong point
This is still a work in progress and I now know what I have to do in order to get the maximum potential on this setup.
