Any updates?

 

Na not yet. Cars still with my mechanic, its the start of the drag season so his been working on some of the other cars and should have mine finished this week ! will keep everyone posted

 

Well apparently all the work has been done, just needs to get rebooked in with the dyno guys. So that may be this week, maybe next. Will keep you posted.

 

And video!

 

Prob wont get a video (Ive asked and asked... but I wont be there during the tune so cant get one done )

BUT - All work is complete and tune is booked in for tomorrow.

Also going to tune to 18psi on our shitty pump fuels so will see what happen's !

WG's seem to be working a treat currently ! so will wait for some feedback

 

Can't wait for dyno numbers! Love the engine bay! And the equally spaced symmetrical pipes! Super clean!!!

Following!

 

408 rwhp at 18psi

will post dyno later tonight, bit of an ordeal getting car to and fro but happy just to have it home and making some power

 

gota say it spools so bloody early compaired to my last turbo its a bit of a joke !

 

dyno runs

 

surprised not seeing 1K "408 @ 18 psi? shouldn't it be more like 500+??" type responses!!

 

we have lower octane fuel down here and our dyno read lower as welll. It s prob a good 450 up there in the US.

 

Such a beautiful build

 

Thanks mate

Well back at work today (been on holidays for the past week in Cape leveque - awesome place !). I Haven't taken it for another drive yet (will on the weekend) but thought Id overlay the dyno charts and see how they looks.

Just show how quick and how much more power you get early in the chart compared to the old 60-1 with a 1:15 AR. I know the EP would of helped but that's a big pick up in low down power

 

my guess is dyno read lower and/or fuel has lower energy concentration than US's. obviously the octane amount is there for it to not self distruct @ 18 psi.

regardless, I'd be ecstatic if what's under your hood was under mine!!

and reguarding boost/power response: wouldn't believe it if you had simply told me.

 

**** me drunk its quick ! the other night I dont think I took night past 6000 rpm. so didnt get a good feel to how well it goes.

Gave it wash and went for a quick spin. **** me. Im running 285's on the rear and smokes them up in 1, 2, and 3rd easy as (4th I not game to try)

Went and picked my brother up to take for a lap (his got a 510 rwhp V8 R8 commodor) one quick spin looked at me and just went "yeh you win" hahaha

Is a ******* ball tearer, this is way to much hp for the street (never thought there would be a good limit) the low down hp is just so transient Im very very happy with it right now

 

and the last dyno is showing 10 % less than the previous before that dyno when compared on the same tune ,, weeks apart

had you gone back to rotomotion.. on that dyno it would be reading closer to 440 rwhp

PS
if you wish i have an unbiased contact with 1500 hp DD dyno ( only one in perth ) and can get you unbiased power and AFR runs for around $80 ish

 

I always tell everyone the tdx61 is the ultimate street turbo, and one will never be able to use its full potential on the street. The turbo is good to 25psi and even with drag radials you won't hook. Take bump start up on his offer, and get a video this time .

 

Will do bumps just a bit broke at the moment ! Just need to save up some coin and pay off some of the Credit card bill

+ ideally want to get a drag run in soon (and hope I don't destroy anything )

 

I'd like to request a few more shots of that gorgeous engine bay!

 

I'm surprised you are not catching hell for that turbo oil return line angle

 

Turbo sits high enough where that tiny bit of uphill near the end doesn't matter...

 

Haha will have to dig some up


Well then I guess your surprised.
No issues at all.

Also just need to sort some interior things out, but I do plan to make it down to the drags one night coming soon. Just hope I don't have traction issues. Will be interesting to see what I get !

 

that has to be the sexiest engine bay if ive ever seen one

 

This car is sweeeeet. Nice build

 

Thanks

Some from the weekends cruise (its starting to get a bit cooler at night now, the engine is loving it
