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.

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

    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
    • 2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
