Unfortunately not, caste hill exhast's dyno is off for refurb

Ok results are in.

HKS 2530's with stainless manifolds 380rwkw @24psi

GT2860R-5 with stock manifolds. 361rwkw @26psi

350rwkw @25psi

341rwkw @23psi

335rwkw @22psi

The low to mid reponse is an identical overlap to the 2530's would be interesting to see with the same stainless manifolds

good results there mate thanks..was running 28psi ringing the neck of the 2860s..on a whole from experience are the 2530 a better in your opinion????as price for price there alot dearer aint they

28psi was past the efficiency peak for sure, they are quite happy at 1.6-1.7 bar. With my stainless manifolds I would expect them to make similar power to the HKS 2530's...then again I only ran the 2530's at 24psi and they made no more power after 26psi.....sort of goes against thecompressor trim.

I think GT2860R-5 ported to match a pair of N*power manifolds ($299 of Ebay) is the way to go. Expect to have to clean up and face the manifolds tho. They turbo inlet is 38mm X 40mm and the manifolds are 38mm x 47-48mm (N1 spec). I can say my standard cast manifolds did not increase my low-mid response. I'll be re-installing my stainless manifolds soon.

i just fitted the 8cm T517Z to our car and it is far better than the 2860's ive used previous. i dont recommend the 10cm T517z's though as they are a bit laggy for my liking.

our car made 290rwkw at 14.4psi and 328rwkw at 17psi std dumps.

In what way are they 'far' better??

I have results showing otherwise, with a big difference in midrange... bush bearing turbos versus twin ballbearing turbos....

For example, at 128km/h in fourth gear, my car was making around 160rwkws with the T517Z's(8cm), and with the 2860r-5 is now making 240rwkws....

I know which setup I'd prefer.... :)

Care to show us your comparison????

Go to post #29 in this thread for mine....

I'm not quite sure I follow here. you say the mid-low range is the same between the 2530s and the -5s. but the -5s need 6psi more, to make 20kw less? and at the same psi make 45kw less? but yet you think the -5s are good? I'd be putting those 2530s back on post haste!

I think the point to take away is that the std manifolds are crap for anything over 350rwkw and definately do not improve response over the chinese ebay stainless mainfolds

517Z's, 2860R, HKSGT2530@24psi and my 2860R on std manifolds@26psi

At 95km/h, 85kw 95kw 90kw 85kw

At 112km/h, 105kw 140kw 130kw 130kw

At 128km/h, 155kw 240kw 200kw 200kw

At 145km/h, 255kw 305kw 296kw 317kw

At 160km/h, 330kw 325kw 315kw 350kw

At 178km/h, 360kw 350kw 355kw 361kw

At 194km/h, 365kw 358kw 372kw Chart stops

I do have a chart that keeps going and power drops off after 178km/h as does boost also....down from 26psi to 24psi at 200km/h The drop in boost starts at 169km/h at the 350kw mark. The 2530's with the stainless manifolds did not drop boost at all.

Full Boost is also made at identical points compared to the 2530's (134km/h)

i am putting it back on the dyno tonight to chase up a electrical problem encountered in adelaide, i will post dyno chart tommorrow.

BUGGER :D

Had it on the dyno last nite...... uni broke.... holed the floor pan..... nuff said. (plently of SAU on lookers)

dyno sheets next week.

LOL, really? My little RB20 is making 232rwkws at the same road speed. Though you guys all walk away from about 135km/h :D

yeah im not sure what the issue is there as our cars (8cm T517Z's) both make way over that at those road speeds. i can only assume you had the 10cms not the 8cms. i hate the 10cm version as they are laggy... very similar to hks GT2540's.

ah well once the tailshaft is replaced i will run it up again and do a speed and rpm (bit of a hassle but all good) based graph.

Now your insulting me, I know what turbos went on my car, and they weren't the 10cm version...

I'm very interested in seeing how the T517's are making much more power than mine at those speeds, how many GTR's have you done with the T517's and the 2560R's???

Dyno graphs will prove your claims, so get them up, surely you must have at least one graph after all the GTR's you've done??

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
