new arrival and suprises at the dyno
With stock injectors and the other mods youve done you,d be lucky to make 420hp,the engine would literally melt at 28psi and would never make that pressure anyway on hybrid tubs :whistling:.Either your being conservative on the engines mods or the dyno is in some serious need of calibrating.Im sorry but 505 fwhp on stock injectors and 28psi !! it just wont happen.Something is seriously a miss here! .Im running a much higher spec than that with custom mapping by John Dixon and making 475 fwhp,so how you can achieve that is just well let me say impossible.The gt525,s im running were max,d out at 18.5 psi and simply couldnt produce any more boost due to heat soak so how a t25/28 hybrid can do 28 psi is lets just say ludicrous.

Im glad you posted this Dave as your comments could be quite damaging to me when you THINK about it really as i was in the care of a customers car who may be a good friend but still the very mention of me "laying rubber" could put many people off using me for work on their cars.I like a joke ffs but that one didnt split my sidestrings i have to say and boiled my p*ss last night after it was posted .

engine wiring loom
Yeah i cut them at the bulkhead instead of trying to unthread the sodding thing.Engine bit is easy really,the bit behind the heaterbox is a pita honest.You got small hands ? youll need them.

Found the cause of my boost leak, now what is it?
Reconnect it,unless you are running a boost controller it needs to be plumbed in to for the ecu to engage safety boost to protect the engine.
-
Found the cause of my boost leak, now what is it?
Its one of the wastegate solenoid signal pipes,used by the ecu to reduce boost under safety conditions id say.Thats ther only small vac pipes around that vicinity.

You sound like a patronising school teacher !

mapped on E85
I would have expected more to be honest.What was the afr on full boost ? you may need a new fuel pump or have fuel pressures issues.

Turbos Hybrids
Sound chocolate then,id be well wary.Remember the warranty covers the turbos only.Not any other damage or removing the engine after.I used Turbo Dynamics for years and a basic rebuild was £300 each. And they are a reputable dealer ask Smithy on here.
-
Turbos Hybrids
Is that £600 each?? have you checked.I was getting quotes of £750 each 5 years ago.And that depends if yours are any good.The biggest problem is the exhaust housing which cracks around the wastegate seat.The housings are hard to come by and ive seen several sets scrapped because of this.Id be wary of tubs rebuilt that cheap.

ECU help - Jeff?
A standalone system will always be better but if you wanted a q45 maf would run that or a doolz set up on a chipped ecu.If you have the AEM already then your committed really.If you dont then consider either a custom map or an Emerald system perhaps?
-
ECU help - Jeff?
Ahh yeh i see now the manifolds.Get the heads ported.makes a massive difference with bigger tubs too.Helps to get them spooling lower down the rev range.You could still permenantly run that on a custom mapped stock ecu if you wished though.
-
Turbos Hybrids
can of worms there mate.Jesus i remember some threads back in the day regarding this subject,who was good or not.For the cost these days a set of hybrids with new cartridges can be bought for reasonable money from some stateside suppliers like Z1.
-
ECU help - Jeff?
Once you cut through the stuff that has no effect on engine performance it has not got a huge list of actual engine mods just bolt ons so prolly could be run on a stock ecu chipped probaly with a custom map.Id have gone for high flow exhaust manifolds and ditched the cams personally on that build.They can be added at a later date.
