Pete sorry but how is bolting on 2 400hp turbos any different then bolting on one 800hp turbo

edit: to run nines with I mean :huh:

I think what Pete was getting at is the fact that the general consensus is to run 9's requires a big single turbo...as this is the way most ppl go. The fastest low-mount GTR b4 us was 10.78..which in the scheme of things is run of the mill in a serious drag GTR. To run 10.36 on 2530's on street rubber without gas was unheard of....and to run a 9 on low mounts (and im talking general mindset here) is unachieveable....but i always like to tread a different path and go against the grain...so the goal of running 9's with low-mounts in a full weight car on street rubber without gas is right up my alley.....did i mention synchro manual transmission and a single plate clutch ?

Because he wants to go faster not slower

his managed 10.3 with 640hp twin

Name me a faster 800hp turbo single than 10.3 or even close to that

By going to just a larger twin combo he should increase hp and terminal speed with out losing to much bottm end or mid range AND still retain the std factory look and feel to the car.Which you cant do with the single combo.

But can we stay on topic

Paul all this talk about block oil lines isn't making feel to good about have std oil lines on the GTR but i will say i'm very carefull with the lines and always flush/wash and blow out the line when ever the turbos are off.

9 secs low mounts with full interior thats crazy, do you know what the fastest low 1/4 time is out of interest?

And if you don't mind me asking what is the ball park cost the lines upgrade on the turbos worth?

pete

So your saying if he went to a single 800hp turbo he'd be slower

in a word yes

look at the top run gtrs world wide

last time i looked there wasn't a single in the top ten

and to compare running combos in australia the twin on munro's,KW and GTR700 kill the big single if i'm not mistaken and i have not seen a 800hp single go near two6l so why would it go fast then a bigger twin combo on two6l.

for best spool efficience on a turbo it is best to not exceed 4 cylinder per turbo just look at the new 1000hp biggia(have no idea on the spelling) street car and if you want Documentation try reading the book "FORCED INDUCTION" by Gramham Bell.

Singles, Twins, who really gives a shit??

GTR's are cheating anyway.

Sounds like an otherwise informative thread turning bad because of a single, solitary smartarse. Don't worry Paul, I'm sure that some people appreciate your information. :D

All the argumentative thread destroyers need to remember this:

It is better to appear ignorant and remain silent than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Go team twoogle!

thanks for that great input nismoid, it remided me of why I don't post anything serious in this section guess its back to stirring the pot for me

pnblight maybe when your running 10's or 9's and showing me how it is I'll listen to you until then I know what I've done at one meet and will stick with my own ideas

thanks :D back on topic now

if u went single u wouldnt have this problem :D

jk guys, and good luck running a nine in the future :(

low mounts just seen boring imho, but thats my opinion, and obviously twins aint too bad if everyone uses them '

p.s. another pnblight twin turbo bandwagon post i see, everyone join in for the ride :)

cheers

Brad

paul can i ask would do you think was the cause of the blockage?

and can i ask the type of oil you were running at the time (if you dont want to post it pm please as i'm very interested) as when i worked in Engine Reconditioning industry we sent a number of oil sample for testing and discovered that one praticular oil brand had caused numerous engine failures.

I wish you the best with the GTRS turbos as you have done amazing well with the 2530's , i look forward to see the results between the two as i so nearly bought a set but was put of by the bad rep the coped at one stage and the awesome results i had gain from the garret gt2560r.

pete

ps 9sec low mounts (THATS THE SHIT)

guys just like to point out i didn't take this topic of track and never even mention singles BUSTER you asked me a question and i answer if by using real cars to make my point and published documentation. People wonder why i hold so fast to my ideas because can so many company and people be wrong Gramham Bell refers to the very principles and develop of turbos through F1 and world rally, if you don't believe me have a read seriously.

the reason the twins work better is Physics, the clearer the impulse signal the more efficient the spool on a turbo. for example why does a 2litre 4 cylinder spool a turbo better than a 2litre 6 cylinder, they flow very similar flow rates but it's the impulse signal that’s is different.

you can't seriously tell me Lewah custom garret is rate at 800hp and he managed and awesome effect

- 446 rwkw @ 27psi @ Racepace Motorsport DynoDynamics Dyno.

- 0-400m [email protected] mph - 1.6932 60' - Heathcote Park 20 July 2003.

Guys i'm not telling you what to run or buy if you like your single great but not hassle me about it i just am a fan of a car with small low mounts, afms and pfc thats has managed to blow anything like it away, and if drags were my thing i would most likely be out competing again him but my interest lays on the circuit.

pete

ps everyone is allowed to have there own ideas so don't hold mine again me.

I don't care as long as it boosts

I love to cheat

Thanks mate

i love that line

Its all about the car...im just the lucky bastard that gets to go along for the ride.

if u went single u wouldnt have this problem  :D

cruiseliner that is not fair i only complemented paul on his success and wished him well for the future and i'm brand for leading this thread off line. What a crock of shit

Dirtgarage = 2 years 30psi race fuel = 10.36 well done but not bettered in 12 months nearly that I've noticed and where is the nine that was spoken about so much in your old posts

pnblight = 11.33 with less power then he has now = its to fast to take back

Simon = 10.91 one meet pump fuel 22psi = for the win

Got Boost Sean = 10.9 one meet pump fuel 22psi = for the win

buster = 10.5 one meets pump fuel and 20psi = for the win

given time these cars will show you what a single can do

2 cars in Perth a lot quicker then you pnblight what happened to "nothing comes close to you"

WTF i have never said i was a good drag racer (it never really interested me personally) the only two meets i have run were when we had no local circuit track to run at (collie was shut) the only other threads i have done we been of the develop and the findings on my car the exact thing i thought this forum was for YES?

i nearly walk away from this forum 12 months ago but Sydneykid talked me out of it, but if the trust back up facts is not well come then so be it.

As for me going back to the drag i might but not only if i feel the need to not because so bozo thinks i got to prove something

I dont really want to have fork out for a $6000 dollar box for a 10sec drive down a straight piece of road (as you all know its cost simon alot on boxes to achieve what he has done and my hat is off to him but it arnt my thing)

and one small fact you left out was i didn't have a built motor or high lift cams and ran turbo hp rating much small then the singles you named, but comparing apples with apples isn't needed is it.

I have only raced this car on 5 occaisions and ran 10.36 at Jambo...hardly 12 months...late september actually. I ran an 11.2 the first time at the track and after the gearbox was sorted ran 10.8 first pass slowly improving the ET to 10.38 by the end of the day. To run a 9 with this set up is a difficult task as it is not a path well trodden. We love the knockers as its the ability to rub peoples noses in their dribble which spurs us on.

We dont need to be educated on what a single turbo set-up can do on the strip, as its the way most people go and the results are well documented.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
