johnny g Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Just taken the car down to Autosport North, where the map was just refined in the low-load, idle and cold-start areas. Dan has done a great job in just trimming it out. Ryan wasn't able to complete my mapping on the road due to the oil issue, so Dan's done it for me. Part throttle, idle etc is all spot-on now. Great facility there, and great to see the car back on the Dyno! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudsey Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Great to see some updates. I didn't think the HKS Ball Bearing turbos could be rebuilt? Unless I have missed a post earlier in your thread, must look back through and see if it's mentioned. Sounds as though you have some major work underway, best of luck with it all will be awesome when complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked back through and found this statement "the HKS Twin 3037's are being overhauled with HTA wheel upgrades, making it the latest turbo technology on there". These sound like they will be very special indeed, be great to hear some more about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These sound like they will be very special indeed, be great to hear some more about them. Yea - basically, the catridges will be replaced with HTA wheels - similar to the GTX billet range. The aerodynamics of the wheels are current technology, rather than the 20 year old aero in the GT3037's. It effectively means that I should get around ~8-10% more flow for the given pressure ratio. With an increase of a couple of hundred rpm spool. It's win, win for me really. Chachiiing though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
