Thats cool Gareth, i see your point...

But if people have tested it (more than once), shown there to be less than 10rwkw in it which is far from something to get excited about

That how does that come about? How does that get explained?

Some cs student you don't know what your talking about do you. Whats that. No No you don't. I don't get how some of you don't get it. How can a transfer case tranfer more than 50% of the torque to the front wheels when it is the same final drive ratio as the rear and the rear drive line is fixed to the engine when in gear. It can't. Never will.

I never said it was transferring more than 50%.

I meant more as in it will transfer more power to the front wheels than a standard transfer case would at a given amount of slip, ie. if it was trying to transfer X amount of power a modified transfer case would give it a little more.

EDIT: so it would reach the so called "50%" if that is the case, a little faster than a non-modified transfer case due to the change is clutch plates.

Furthermore, since your referring to the torque split gauge as a percentage you clearly don't know what your talking about there, it's not a percentage.

Your point about the clutch plates compressing is noted, as as most of your points, but you don't need to come across so arrogant in your posts.

EDIT: On second thought, I haven't slept for a few days so maybe I'm the one mis-interpreting, I guess I'll find out from your next post.

Your "locked" made me think of how a 2-way diff locks at a certain amount of torque going through it, I now understand what you are referring to as "locked" makes sense now, simply a mis-interpretation there.

To prevent confusion please make it clear which Gareth your referring to, I can see your referring to Rowdy32 in that post (I think) :P

Exactly right with the transfer case workings.

I wasn't talking about the torque gauge on the dash as it is only what the computer thinks it is transfering to the front by the amount of pressure it is putting on the clutch. If the transfer case is rooted the gauge displays what it thinks its doing but in reality little drive is going to the wheels. On a 4wd dyno screen there is a display that shows the amount of torque going to the front and rear rollers. Thats what I'm talking about. One of the ways of telling if your case is rooted. The gauge in the dash is really only good for wank value and I don't think I have ever even looked at it whilest driving. You can normal tell if its locking up by how the car handles also.

Ah, interesting, I just had to replace my transfer case as it had some issues (badly slipping and the shaft (?) inside it was making a grinding sound), a 4WD dyno would be an interesting way of confirming the second-hand one I got doesn't have issues...

Thanks for the info.

There is a turbo in the Garrett range between the -5 (GT2860R 62 Trim) and the -10 (GT2871R 52 Trim), that being the GT2871R 48 Trim. Garrett has rated it to 400HP (they rate the -10 to 460HP), i was wondering if anyone has ran one of these on a GTR as i can imagine they would be a lot more responsive than the -10 and would yield a lot more power that the -5. To run on of these though you would have to get Garrett to modify a -5 compressor housing to fit if you want to retain the factory piping but they would be will to do it and I wouldn't imaging it would cost much.

Vs'

GT2871R 52T-10 460hp each

I'm looking at building a RB26/30DETT at some stage in the not too distant future and i and seriously looking at running these on that as i imagine that the response of the 48Trim's on a 3 litre would be similar to that of a set of -5 on a 2.6 litre.

so are the -9's the middle man between the -7's to -5's?

i have 280rwkw @15psi with r34 turbos, cams big porting forged engine ect (stock afm's are holding me back)

im still trying to decide if i want to go up to the -5's the -7's dont seem worth it over what i already have but if the -9's make a bit more then the -7's with similar response...

i dunno haha

    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
    • I do this, I also don't get the joke  
    • Return flow cooler will be killing you I reckon. You can certainly push more through a low mount setup but they're good numbers for a stock looking engine bay.  Mine made 345rwkw (hub) at 22psi on 98 with a "highflow" on a stock manifold but it's a long way from a normal high flow or standard engine. I used one of those Turbosmart IWG-75's and it was great with the Motec running closed loop boost with pressure being applied to both sides of the diaphragm. 
    • Hey man do you have pic of adaptor plate by any chance I need to match up the bolt holes as my gearbox adaptor plate ones are way off the only bolts of starter motor are matching thanks
