Im curious to know if what ive read and been told is bullshit or not. A bloke with a r33 gtst with a rb26 in it with alot of work done reckons with two hks gtxxxx or something arather rated at 360hp each can make 544rwkws or 730hp on a simple and conservative 1.2bar. Assume it has all supporting mods, mild camshafts(done @ tighe cams), std valves, port n polish(course finish, not polished), std manifolds in & out, a fairly thick metal hg, assume cr 8:1, running pump bp 98, motec m800.

I admit my understanding on twin setups like those in gtrs im unfamiliar with but turbos are turbos regardless, to me that amount of power is not accurate. Can anyone explain it or explain their setups if similar and what power they make. Perhaps offer some explanation for it. Not only that but the car can do 1:14s around the national track @ QR and incase people dont know v8 supercars do 1:12-1:13's commonly with quickest time recorded a 1:10 by tander. Whether thats accurate or not i cant say, its only what ive heard.

Im annoyed a little bit that the guy bagged our setup and why his is so perfect is what i want to know cause i cant see it being soo good. This is a information seeking mission but also venting my annoyance.

Cheers.

If you are referring to low mount turbos, then indeed you've been told rubbish and a simple check of the RB26 Turbo Upgrade thread stickied in this section would have answered your question.

I'm running the largest HKS-GTRS terbs (largest low mounts from HKS) on a fairly seriously built motor and can only achieve mid 500s rwhp.

Ive been through the 26 section before and seen the power figures...thats why i think its all bull. But i figured well just incase he has a heavier worked motor then say most others and thats why hes achieved that power or something out of the oridinary.

Gav what power are the GTRS rated at?

Obviously different dynos will give different power whether shootout mode or not and so on.

Gav what power are the GTRS rated at?

HKS rates them at 400PS each

Gav: What sort of boost were you running to produce ~550rwhp? Sounds like something is holding you back if thats the most you can squeeze out of them

Over 500rwkw on 1.2 bar? I highly doubt that :)

try another tuner gav and u might be suprised ;) with that setup and gtr-s and 28psi i'd expect more. :)

sell the gt rs turbos and go for a single HKS Z and u will need half the boost for the same power :)

no chance @ 1.2bar

thats all really :)

It could be possibly with the biggest trust offerings, but not pissy 360hp huffers.

dirtgarage made the power on race fuel dont forget, and around 370-380 on pulp which is the norm for 2530's...

IMO Gav, 2.8l + 28psi and every other nice bit of fruit... it doesnt equal 550rwhp unless something is severly holding you back

No - the dyno numbers that I'm producing on the GT-RS terbs are about right compared with others.

I believe DirtGarages's numbers (which are much higher than I've seen others publish) weren't produced on pump fuel from memory (correct me if I'm wrong).

Agree that the single T04Z is indeed a nice bit of kit, but now that I'm set up with the low mounts I'll stay with them. Presently fitting longer duration exhaust cam which should extend the top end some without hopefully not losing too much low down. Very little experimenting with cam timing so far, so should be interesting with some more dyno time.

EDIT: posted at the same time as R31Nismoid regarding race fuel.

The terbs and fuel system are set up for mid 500s awhp, so I really don't feel like I'm being "held back". The extra good bits are really just for reliability and longevity.

What the dyno graph doesn't really convey is the very broad spread of torque available which is what I set out to achieve - the main use being track days and motokhanas.

Cheers

pnblight is making those numbers almost (530-540hp from memory) with 2560r turbos and 2.6L bottom end and it aint on 28psi i know that much. and thats on pump fuel too

dirt garage's rb26 was on race fuel yes.

are u running 28psi with pump fuel???

I've only tried pump fuel.

Unfortunately haven't had the opportunity to catch up with Pete (pnblight) and go for a spin yet - hope to early next year when I'm back.

Did drive Adrian's JUN 2.7L with 25/30s fitted. Much of a muchness in response although I did feel that I had a greater top end.

Simon's 2.6L with the Garrett TO4Z is just nuts. Suprisingly, Not much difference in response but just crazy top end response.

doing dyno runs the last few days on a top secret car, big mods, and a t88-38k, 22 psi, 432rwkw. oh by the way, did anyone say lag ?

next step is to bottle it so the boost comes on quicker ! boo yah

Hardly surprising when the car is running a T88-38GK on a standard capacity RB26.

that is very interesting but doesn't really have anything to do with this thread now does it? hardly ground breaking news. a T88 GK makes 400kw!!!!111

I think some of you other guys need to let go of your stranglehold on dyno numbers. every dyno is different. if Gav is happy with his power and build then why keep poking at it? i would say his engine build would be one of the more serious ones on here so i dont think it's a matter of him having skimped on it. I don't know of many other HKS 2.8 litre strokers running GT-RS turbos kicking around aus.

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
