I recently upgraded the lot from a bitza set up that started with a split dump on the standard turbo, then a front pipe added on later, it was good for 212kw but limited due to the 2 1/2" dump and the turbo at it's limit, mind you after 18 mths @ 16 psi it was still good, then at some stage I noticed it wouldnt boost above 15psi, Dan (3lit3 32) reckoned it was the studs snapped on the manifold, he was right but not quite as I had cracked the manifold as well. So I got a turbo with dump and a second manifold and installed the lot myself, and after a delay due to dyno comps, I had noticed that the cat was only 2 1/2" and with the bigger dump, the exhaust note quite louder as well, Right Price installed a 3" cat and resonator for 400 and I was off for a retune last night, it made 312rwhp/232kw @ 14psi easily, the turbo is a bit laggier but seems to be more gruntier down low, if that makes sense, the exhaust note is alot gruntier as well but the resonator took the harsh bark out of it. my next step will be the injectors, 500cc should do me.

Nice Terry...

I cannot wait to put my new hair dryer to the test...

In the mean time welcome to the 240rwkw club (well close enough).

Its at this stage you will find out how good your clutch really is and its easy to tell how good tyres really are...

I reckon the louder exhaust note comes from the larger turbo....as it has a larger discharge area?? Cause I changed nothing in the way of exhaust parts when I did my turbo and it came back heaps louder! Anyway that is neither here nor there! Good work Terry looks like it would be a fun drive now! I always love reading other peoples modification stories!

I should really write up my story some day! However I think there is a bit more necessary and unexpeceted work to be done before my story is over :O lol

And I hear you on the tyres point Col! All of a sudden I found out my old tyres werent that good! :/

Looking (and no doubt going) really good Terry! 240rwkW should make a nice, quick daily driver, any more and it gets impossible to put power down. I hear you guys on the tyres, after the last bout of mods I did on my old 33, the tyres I thought weren't too bad suddenly couldn't cope.

Nice curve on the graph too, it stays above 280rwhp for a fair chunk of the range :rofl: A set of cams might keep the power climbing for even longer too :)

With this wet weather lately I am finding the grip a bit loose with that extra power, the tyres were OK before, but now, a tap of the pedal gets me spinning too easily :blink:.

what turbo are you running now? they are decent numbers you are getting,very good. :)

The day I got mine back half throttle in 3rd would have me looking out the side windows instead of the windscreen lol...it is fun for a while :(

Nobody can identify the turbo, GoFastBits said it was probably a HKS prototype, it is a BB and has american threads in it, Dan reckoned it be equivalent to a high flow and Peter Woodward my tuner said it looked like one off a Rotar. Beats me, it goes good and the BB spool is goooood.

Yeah it looks to be something equivalent to a GT2535 - SB8032.

These are rated at around 400hp. But the results would suggest a bigger turbo just from the boost you are running...You are probably right about the HKS Hybrid copy thing.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
