Fark paying trade paul, no need...

When did you get that quote? I have just been informed that Garrett have raised their prices. Can you please confirm the price.

:mad:

Garrett GT28 series have been that way for donkeys. There has been no price rise at all.

$1674

The GT30 add around i think $100 an so on. They are all very similar.

Considering i paid $3300 landed for twin HKS turbos.. 2.7k for just one is pretty painful

Hey Abo Bob,

Thanks for your e-mail, i appreciate your input.

Just one question:

Between 2k-5krpm how much timing are you running?

You also mentioned an issue with porting, but the example you used related to an rb26. I personally would not touch the head of a 26, as they were engineered for race purposes, apart from port/manifold matching as stated. The rb25 on the other hand is totally different and i still believe gains are had from porting, provided it is done by a profesional porter.

I run stock R33 S1, rb25det, compession. (i think it is 8.5:1 or 9:1??????)

Hey mate. Ignore that last pm obviously.

I was going to say that I don't know what timing but I went out to the car and took it for a run and logged the data for you.

Porting is still an issue. Bigger ports will always give the escaping gas a lower velocity and your turbo needs high velocity, high energy gases to spin it quickly.

Stock compression ratio is 9:1. Are you sure this didn't change when you had the head work done?

I think this turbo in any version is a POS and you can do better . Sure the compressor may push enough air for ~ 400 Hp but the 53.85mm turbine in a .64 GT28 housing - very sceptical . HKS claim 300 wheel PS out of their own demo Silvia - they would claim more if they could ....

Cheers A .

They claim 294kw out of the GTRS with 256 cams on their website for the SR20. But is it rwkw? probably not....

THANKS!!

Really appreciate all your help. I asked my mechanic today what timing my car is running at mid to low rpm and he stated 24-26deg, so this may be my problem with lag. Where the recorded runs done at full throttle?

I understand your view on porting but i do not regret my decision, as a experienced porter will know how much to remove and where it is required. When discussing porting with the technician, he always stated that the best porting is done when you know what NOT to remove and what to leave alone.

The guy i used has been in the trade for years........ and ports heads for the V8 supercars, as well as other forms of motorsports.

V8 don't have turbos that need high velocity gas to turn them though. Anyway, enough about that. WE understand each other.

Those runs were done at full throttle. I think there is a tps value in the spreadsheet somewhere??

Not if the ports are restricting the flow. By opening them up you get more flow.

You also mentioned an issue with porting, but the example you used related to an rb26. I personally would not touch the head of a 26, as they were engineered for race purposes, apart from port/manifold matching as stated. The rb25 on the other hand is totally different and i still believe gains are had from porting, provided it is done by a profesional porter.

If I put an RB26 and an RB25 cylinder head side by side you would be hard pressed to pick the difference (without looking at the stud patterns). RB cylinder heads are not as good as some people claim, grossly obverrated. The basic design is good, but they are still a mass produced, cast alloy production car part, designed in 1988 and made to a price.

:) cheers :O

I realise V8's require different flow capabilities, just was pointing out the level of skill/experience/reputation my porter has. He also explained the differances between porting n/a heads and turbo heads.

Thanks again for the data, will really come in handy.

Sydneykid, thanks for you last post, as i feel more justified that i decided to port the head.

might help..

i've got da HKS GT2835R on my rb25 that did 248.3KW at 15psi.

engin mods

front mount

3.5" exhaust

hks f-con v

hks Electronic valve controller, i played with this when i got it and i think i might of fked up the fuel ratio and sht cause on the dyno, the fuel and air ratio was all over the place, i'll have to take it to BD4s who can program the F-con V, and by that i know i can get more out of it.

stock coils

i mean 250kw is more then enough

i hope this helps in a way

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
