Had the car on the dyno, but it keeps overboosting. I need to replace the spring in the wastegate.

Rod called me, said that my injectors were at 100% Gonna flow test them, they are meant to be 440cc

Well, seems they were only 245cc, so now going for some 550cc ones. They looked identical to GTR ones, seems to be ( from what I could find on the net ) that they were RB20 injectors. So, another set back but atleast I know now.

I bought them off here ages ago, But I am not blaming him at all for it because as far as we both knew they were GTR injectors, they look almost identical. I will just buy bigger ones, if it fixes the problem thats all im worried about. Oh, and nothing is ever simple with my car....lol It enjoys the attention im sure.

Fuel rail is coming from Melbourne, Injectors from Adelaide. My Autronic is in Sydney getting new drivers uploaded to it to run the low impedance injectors. This Dyno has turned into a 3 week $$$$$$ exercise. Found out some interesting stuff about my previous tune though, thats for sure for example my timing was retarded 20degrees!!

havnt you heard what they say "if its got tits or wheels its gonna be trouble" but by the sounds of things once you get the tune and injector sorted it will be sweet and worth it.

Same here my car was at the mechanic for 3months, fair enough a bit of work was done but when i got it back i drove it for 5 weeks and the coppers took my licence ( whilst driving my mums car ) but i get my licence back this sunday. worst thing is my car is stripped to just a shell cause it was meant to get painted before now. so one sunday rather than driving my car i will get to drive my mums Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Car made just over 340rwhp at 15psi Alot more than I thought, I was aiming for around 250-260rwhp. Just need to sort out the cold start and then I will hopefully get some enjoyment out of it.
