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??

i tune for a hobby, usually for free to mates and people who have 'interesting' setups that intrigue me, the dyno's graphs go with the owners not with me, as i posted earlier i will post up graphs once the new tailshaft is sorted.

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.... :P

Care to show us your comparison????

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

graph up 2moro, finally got some roller time (car is still playing up so it is only a 14.4psi run and making only 286rwkw-odd at the rears)

but at 120kmh it is making nearly 80-100 rwkw more than yours did from memory....

LOL, maybe its all those years of experience you have in tuning and building rb26's...for free....

HAHA you a bit cut? i dont claim to be an expert but your car just seems "flat" by your descriptions especially compared to our results, i cant be held for your cars shortcomings.

Hardly....

I don't get cut from people who make claims without backing them up, it just proves my assumptions of them... :D

You claim that the T517's are much better than the 2860R's that you have tuned in the past, I asked to see a comparison, assuming that you actually have tested both... still waiting....

I'm discussing my comparison with facts, your just talking out of 'insert YOUR username here'.....

Prove me wrong so the discussion can continue with merrit....

Will have to go back to Ben from Racepace and tell him he's not doing a good job on my car.. ;)

That is all....

yeh get some results up,interested to see if i wasted money on 2860r...lol

i paid 2 much.could have got them cheaper...but i reckon from your results im gunna be more than happy with the 2860r even tho i paid more than most

dyno sheet at 14.2psi and still with issues

hmmm i seem to see 210rwkw at 120kmh...... with -6 degrees timing over the whole map. No doubt there is another 10-15rwkw hidden in there once ive found the breaking down issue.

jack makes 240rwkw at 128km/h or 4570rpm

yours makes 230rwkw at 128km/h

sort out the misfire then we'll see how it looks

also this is in a rwd chassis? so take out some 4wd drive loss on jacks setup

looks very similar to the standard turbo response.

looks very similar to the standard turbo response.

exactly.... wind in more boost and they will happily support 380rwkw..... which is my whole point (excellent response yet able to support good top end).

The same tune as above with std dumps, -6 degrees and fat mixtures 10.8:1 A/F pulled 328rwkw at 17psi.... (i would expect another 20rwkw easily with 12.0:1 and more timing). i would post the graph but i could not get a clean run without the missfire gremlin, next week i will run it up again.

But road speed can be misleading. What is the final drive of each respective car and the gearboxes they are running, also tyre size. You could be looking at large rpm differences .

LOL. Im amazed you folk let me get away with my silly RB20 remark. The gearing in my car means im pulling much higher rpm for a given road speed then you guys...hence why i have similar power at the road speed in the earlier example :(

GTR diff and R34 box (box ratios are the same), diff ratios are actually a little differrent as we run 3.9 instead instead of 4.11 which is std GTR ratio (which would actually disadvantage us comparison wise), it use to run 4.373 but it was too short with the GTT box. tyre size is 235/45/17

Well i read every single post so far.

From what you guys have said and dyno sheets etc etc i am going with!

Garrett 2860R-5's

Stainless Steel Manifolds

Stainless Steel Dumps

With my supporting mods of

tomei 260 9.15 cams

700cc sard injectors

3.5" exhaust + highflow cat

K N filters

Hybrid intercooler

Blitz SBC - i color

Sard Fuel Reg

Boch 044

R32 ECU retuned

I should easily pull 300KW+ at 16psi give or take

The main difference between the HKS and garrett turbos is the wheel design. They are compressor and turbine may be the same sizes etc but the HKS wheels are upgraded to induce more air etc

  • 1 month later...
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)

As a real life comparison.

In 4th

2000rpm starts to make +ve boost

3500rpm .5bar

4050rpm 1bar

Does anyone have a comparison for 2530's ?

    • 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?

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
