There's a few here in SA that have basically just been bolted on.

It appears ~20psi makes a shade over 300rwkw.

I'd assume the difference between 20psi making 340-380rwkw and 20psi making a shade over 300rwkw is nice exhaust manifolds, plenums and a decent set of cams.

yeah. thats what i rekon to. im making atm 307 awkw on a t04z on 20 pound.

to be honest id expect more. but a stock as a rock motor just with the nesasery suport mods. im guessing yeah cams etc etc.

A LOT of people with the usual gear are getting 370-420rwkw on PULP without even going to Meth :P

Thats just the usual mods and around 23-25psi or there abouts.

I reckon you have a good number of things to look at if a t04z is only making 300rwkw on 20psi. Its a good 50-70rwkw down on what it should be

I run the 0.81 AR T04Z with a built 2.7 engine, cams, 4in exhaust, HKS manifold and i make 450kw on 24psi, thats nearly 1.8 bar. and BTW how does the stocker engine respond to a monster turbo like the T04Z. and how do you keep the old girl alive, dont you have issues with blowby due to older piston rings??

if i hijack this topic my apoligies

well morgs and pretty much everyone else has cams at the least. and a built motor with forgies so abit of timing could help.

my motor is still going strong. 170pound across all 6. (apart fron some cool oil leaks lol.

i put it down to oil and oil temp. and a concervative tune. tuners get a litle scared when they find out its a 230k old donk hehe.

so penrite syn 5 or syn 10. two 25 row oil coolers and overfilled oil by 1 litre. (up to the hump on the stick) to stop oil surge.

I must say is there much variance between the garret and hks versions in overall powerout put nismoid

Not to the tune of 70rwkw i dont believe so.

A few GTR's have been using Garrett t04z's here for a while and those are what im going off.

Not the HKS versions

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
