Nice work bentley
should be good

by **bentls** » April 14th, 2009, 8:01 am

most things in and bolted up. have a twin 2.5" into single 3" herrod stainless exhaust bolted up to it for now but ill see how i go with boost spiking etc... might have to put stock back on or just get it tuned asap

by **BLKPHN** » April 14th, 2009, 2:43 pm

If your using the stock dump it should be fine, no boost spikes.

Looks great BENTLS!

Mind you i didn't need to look it up here the 5min photo sms updates have been just fine!!

by **bentls** » April 14th, 2009, 5:17 pm

haha you love it tristan.

did a parameter reset on it to code the pcm to the bem today and kicked it in the guts. have no exhaust gaskets yet so it sounded like a truck and it was in limp home mode for some reason but not throwing any codes..... took for a spin with no bonnet built boost then dosed but have a vacuum/boost leak because i have got a bung ready for a boost gauge with no gauge in yet probly built 1-2 psi tops so far lol.

by **bentls** » April 14th, 2009, 6:26 pm

another pic i took of it sitting at work. hopefully tomorrow i get it running sweet.

by **Phillis** » April 14th, 2009, 6:37 pm

dont ask why, but i think that the 'WUM' plates are funny. does it goes wwwwuuummmm when you drive past fast? haha

by **bentls** » April 14th, 2009, 6:44 pm

yes it does. but thats from my 8/71 supercharger hanging out the bonnet

by **bentls** » April 15th, 2009, 6:47 pm

ok got it running all good today, limp home mode was just a case of incorrectly set vehicle speed sensor settings, was set to traction control not ABS only (As my car has no TCS)

fuckin hammers compared to na... oh god damn.

i need a tune fuckin bad tho cos with the monza cooler and herrod exhaust i have on it it is overboosting and backfiring like a bitch so just keeping boost down to avoid that till i get the tune sorted out....

by **EBOOST** » April 15th, 2009, 9:12 pm

ahh good job man how much roughly did it cost u?
yeah get the tune man should go real good then.
what boost u goin for in it.
cheers josh.

by **Sunboost** » April 15th, 2009, 9:42 pm

Good stuff getting it all up and running. Get all the loose ends tied up and then get a tune going and it'll be sweet.

Did you cut the rear bar for the tips?

by **skewy_33** » April 15th, 2009, 11:45 pm

bentls, you know orsm f6 hes from sunbury isnt he? seen the cars around a few times is he a member on here?

by **ELOVER** » April 16th, 2009, 12:23 am

AWESOME!
get it dyno tuned so we can have a look at the figures?

by **bentls** » April 16th, 2009, 8:03 am

cost roughly $3600 all up going for around 10psi or so. at the moment it would be spiking to that....

ultimately whatever chris from bluepower wants to run in it for it to handle the extra compression is what ill be running haha.
yeah sunny rear bar was hacked up to the max lol

can u see it? hahah exactly what i was after... the exhaust i had was missing a rear hangar and the tips had already been chopped off so got lilydale mufflers to put 2 mild steel tips on it bent down before the bumper and a new hangar... was a bit worried when i went to pick it up thinking they might have made it obvious but standing next to the car you wouldn't notice a thing. couldnt be happier... and also only cost $50 which i thought was a fair price for the work involved etc.

you have to bob your head under the car to see em which is mad.

and yeh i know orsmf6(theo)... he works at bluepower and is a good mate of tristan (blkphn) also the president of orsm ford cruisers....
hoping for 210-230rwkw once tuned.... if it wasnt overboosting right now i estimate around 200 or so rwkw as it feels quicker than mark_td's turbo.....

by **t1MMy** » April 16th, 2009, 8:33 am

That's awesome! Not a hope in hell any1 would pick that as a turbo!

Enjoy confusing the shit out of people!!

by **Dezza** » April 16th, 2009, 10:39 am

Awesome stuff Bentley. Love the stealth of it.

by **dcstraight** » April 16th, 2009, 12:38 pm

Nice work there.

If you do go down the engineering route...the biggest thing I would be concerned with is the discretion of the engineer when it comes to EPA test...despite having a BA - one engineer might pass it without looking twice...another may insist on the test. Obviously as you are aware, the extra comp of the N/A motor is the main difference if comparing to a stocko XR6T emissions.

by **private9** » April 16th, 2009, 12:59 pm

Nice work mate, gotta love a good sleeper!

by **Parfrey** » April 16th, 2009, 7:03 pm

dunno if this is a stupid question or what but did you gap the plugs? could be making it backfire an run worse..

Nice job tho! awesome sleeper should surprise a few people! i'm betting it'll go around 230rwkw

orsmf6 lives in Scumbury..

the plugs are different, so we bought some turbo plugs on sunday.
could of gapped em but this way we 100% sure nothing is wrong with the plugs.

by **bentls** » April 18th, 2009, 7:13 am

yeah put in brand new ngk iridium turbo plugs.

id say its just the extra compression of the motor causing it.... probly able to build boost quicker etc so it cant maintain a steady boost level as well...
oh well im sure chris will work his magic and have it running like a dream...

he said he doesnt want to run more than about 4psi through it which doesnt seem like much but considering stock xr6ts are 5-6psi and i have 10.7:1 compression instead of 8.7:1 ill probly still make as much power.

by **Parfrey** » April 18th, 2009, 5:39 pm

aren't you supposed to gap the plugs smaller than standard when it gets custom tuned? or just check the gap?

by **bentls** » April 19th, 2009, 8:25 am

id say they change the gap and tune to the gap. or leave the gap and tune to that gap.

at the end of the day on a bog stocker i doubt it would make much difference.

by **EBOOST** » April 19th, 2009, 11:43 am

yeah id be gapping them down a bit but thats completely upto u.
should take more the 4psi tho alot of other ba xt's take 10psi dont they?
cheers josh.

by **ORSMEB** » April 22nd, 2009, 6:19 pm

Cool work Bentley! Looks real good. Bring it to my house so I can see it! I'm too fat to leave my room now...

by **falcon4L** » April 22nd, 2009, 6:53 pm

tips look go :thumbsup:

by **bentls** » April 22nd, 2009, 7:13 pm

picked the car up today..... had to get a flash 3 as vcm suite didnt wanna work on it....

made 0rwkw as they never did a power run.....because 14psi on a na motor is not cool.

diaphragm in the wastegate solenoid is rooted (because im a dumb **** and cleaned the turbo with mag wheel cleaner and must of got some in the hole in the actuator when cleaning it and its eaten the diaphragm away) They have no control over the boost the wastegate just stays firmly shut lol.

changing the actuator over this weekend hopefully and if im lucky get monday or tuesday off work can drive it back in and get the power side of the tune sorted (shift firmness etc all done already)

had it on the hoist at work the other day looked up n saw that looked tuff so jus had to take a pic lol

by **BBQBurner** » April 22nd, 2009, 9:54 pm

O so very pritty :grin:

by **Bipolar** » April 22nd, 2009, 10:45 pm

Nice work. It's gonna suprise the shit out of a lot of people. Good you've got reliable places to drop your car so you don't have to deal with any major fuckups.

by **ELOVER** » April 22nd, 2009, 11:37 pm

im loving your car mate.

by **PHAT EB** » April 22nd, 2009, 11:38 pm

by **e series falcon** » April 23rd, 2009, 2:11 pm

loven this thing :thumbsup:

by **XR6TIM** » April 23rd, 2009, 8:46 pm

Good work mate love the tips they look tough as.......

by **bentls** » April 26th, 2009, 2:27 pm

changed the actuator today... now its actually doing its job... thanks to bluepower for finding the fault for me.....

holdnig 3-4 psi now so needs a retune next weekend hopefully it will run good on about 6psi and aiming for 211kw or more at the wheels.

by **[Sterling]** » April 26th, 2009, 4:20 pm

awesome!!! good stuff bentley, not overboosting and sounding gay im guessing?

by **bentls** » April 26th, 2009, 6:10 pm

by **markTD** » April 27th, 2009, 11:27 am
