225's are not a common size, heaps easier to find 235's in most brands, 595 Rsr's Toyo r1r's etc

I agree, but 225's we could just squeeze in. 235's are going to need flares. Something I'll look into when I get mine back.

Really how are you going to squeeze 225's in ?

Im running 205's at the moment

I think most of the 225's are a 45 and not a 40

Nothing ??

Running 215's at the moment. No scraping. Guards not rolled.
Will investigate how much I can roll the guards to see if I can fit a 225.
Yoko make a 225/35/17. S drive.
I will also probably raise the car a fraction as I am building it to handle, not for stance.
Will also look at the cost of flaring to fit in a 235.
Can't do much without a car though. Will have till wait a couple of weeks.

Sorry for taking over the thread but probably relevant!

Hmm never saw that size before. And almost exactly the same rolling diameter as the stock 16's. Just need them to do a Semi in that size now!

Looks fast.

Dyno soon?

Yeah bud, hopefully late next week. Still have to put new plugs in, hook up the catch can to the Morosso valve I had welded into the exhaust today so the hot crank case and block gasses aren't feeding back through the PCV anymore, do more logging with Gav and have the tune finalised by the guru himself.

There will be some checks in boxes tomorrow!

Nearly there

Catch can is hooked up, new plugs are in and first round of logging done... but Gav's not happy. I think it's pulling way harder than before even though it's making phase II boost.

So Gav drops in to work yesterday and tweaks the Forge wastegate actuator and disconnects the N75 and asks me to check my boost gauge to see what wastegate pressure its making on the way home. Only 6psi

So today Gav's back and we tweak the actuator some more this time to 9psi with N75 off so then we pull over and reconnect the N75 and then all hell broke loose

She's an angry little thing now and the quick video I posted the other day seems like it's in slomo now lol!

More logging tomorrow then she's done after a final file from CC and off to the dyno to see the fruits of our labor.

Happy days!

Good work guys Can't wait to see it in action.

Yeah, a note for anyone reading that fits a Forge Actuator. When you are adjusting it though, you need to hold the rod as it'll just spin round and you don't actually increase the pressure

Once I worked that out, it was game on!! Looking forward to logging tomorrow and seeing the numbers
