Just a quick 3rd gear pull on my 13brew fc with T51, injector duty hit 94.7% on this run at 10 psi with a TPS of around 85%.

I was tuned 23 psi last year on pump gas with the haltech, now the car has a PFC in it.

When the 60mm gate is in and more fuel is had, I will add on.

That is a horrendous power band



Why did you pick that turbo may I ask? it is only good for people who want to run 750 to 800bhp (or ~700rwhp in your language) and even then its pretty much a very bad choice any which way you cut it.

Its not the turbo you think it is... It won't do 700 rwhp, its a T51s, not a SPL, same size as T51r, but from around mid to late 1980's. Its HKS's earliest big turbo, still used garret labelled front cover with HKS's own T4 rear housing and turbine. They max out in the 550-570 range, which is where I want the car to end up.

That run was a rolling ease it up to the wastegate spring run so its not indicative of the powerband, I started it off soft and let off at 6800 rpm watching the injector duty.

It was just a lot of fun to see how easy it made power, with the throttle not even wide open, and hardly any timing in the motor compared to my old smaller setups. I think the next step is to pull the injectors and send them for some flow testing. Fuel pressure is ok.

It might be a bit now, to busy at work, and I just discovered how potent a track car my P-port FC is with the right brakes and suspension.
