Hello from Portugal!

Hello my friends,

my name is Helder, i am from Portugal and i`d bought a Pulsar GTI-R, last week in UK.
I think it will arrive by truck, tomorrow.
I want the car to do some tarmac Rallys, but it will get a Rally Works paint and some mods before. It will be converted to LHD first!
Nice forum you have here. Congratulations.
I`ll need some help, for sure!
Here`s a picture of the car being loaded on the truck, hope you like it:

Hi and welcome to the forum .... what sort of spec is the pulsar looks a clean one ... congrats on your new buy .

I want something like 300BHP, the car is running on 15psi Turbo pressure at the moment.

Welcome matey Good looking car

Thanks!

If its running 15psi I wouldnt imagine its far off 300 anyway .

Welcome, nice looking motor, dont see many with a roof scoop.

Thanks mates...
Nomad29 is it safe to run on 15psi boost pressure?

You should be safe to run 1bar i would say it never hurts to get the fueling checked when
Ever altering boost levels better be safe than sorry .

Like the colours - but I'd never get in and out of the door with that roll cage.

Thanks my friends!
The car is running 13psi not 15, my bad.

Yes, with the roll cage it`s not easy to get in and out... But is a stronger one!

Thats alright il let you off these can run up to about 330bhp but thats really on the limit of injectors turbo. Etc but best to set it all up on the rollers with fueling etc dont want it going bang also another thing to consider would be what clutch you have got as standard ones dont hold out to long with the boost at the higher end .

Thanks for the help...
I can raise the turbo boost with a manual boost controler?
I would like to set it up to 1bar.
Just asked the previous owner, about the clutch.

Yes something like a dawes device or electronic boost controller are best suited to the pulsar or you could one bar loop it for free if you still have the stock soleniod pics on how to are in the how to section under diagrams dont bother with a bleed off valve though ...

Thanks again... We`ll be in touch... I`ll post pictures of the work progress.
I need to drive it first and see how it pulls. I am used to my old Evo 3. It has 315BHP, but i think the Pulsar will pull more or less like it.

Welcome onto the site, looking forward to more pics and details

Thanks...
I`ll upload some pictures during the work!

Welcome to the site

Thanks!

The GTI-R has arrived yesterday at 8:30PM.
My Father received it as i am 125 miles away.
I can only put my hands on the car, tomorrow afternoon!!
