Im sceptical just as URAS is untill I can see correction figures.

Get them to run it up after the tune in shootout mode and make sure there are figures at the bottom like this one has.

Fairly easy to define a legit graph to a dodgy one then.

tell me what i need to ask for when he does it again on saturday, the HP figure means little to me but a safe AFR does.

Next time i will leave the arabic writting on the sheet so you can read that too :-)

yer i reckon i can ask him to do that thanks for the info

And another thing is with these turbos and no supporting mods you can expect bad compressor surge, as I've just found out! My GTR's barely drivable around town! So it looks like it's back into the garage for mine until I can afford the required extra's. :D

Well let me rephrase that.. just forewarning you... it's a possibility that you could end up with an undriveable car due to shuffle because of no supporting mods.

I have bugger all mods at this stage other than the usuals i.e exhaust, pods etc. No after market engine management (mines modified). One of my original turbo's shit itself and I plan to do quite a few mods later on and so wanted turbo's that will be up for it later on down the track hence the GT2860-5's (Never pulling them off again!! What a shit of a job!!!) And now have bad shuffle at cruise and low speeds.

Turbo's ,especially 2530(-5)or GTRS(-10) for a gtr need some mods.

1-Exhaust should be at least 3" right through...including CAT.(Air)

2-Fuel pump replaced to NISMO with regulator.(Fuel)

3-A tune is required with an after-market ECU.

You don't expect more power when the Engine is in a mild state of tune...do you?

How do you expect things work...get a Turbo('s) that is larger and assume the car will be better...wrong?

You made the right choice with the 2530's...you just have not been listening to what every-one is saying.

hmmm i think i will wait till i get a powerfc and a pump and get the car tuned for low boost before i drive it then.

hmmm you have other issues, even though im no fan of 2860's i have fitted them to stockers b4 with no hassles in fact i just fitted larger T517Z's to my missus's RB26 powered silvia and it drives fine (no boost etc) of course it needs a tune but it would be safe as houses to go to shops and back....even as a daily commuter it would suffice until dyno time should present itself.. road tuning ruled out on this one....its a bit anti-social.

Yes i know and if you read my post properly it explains my reasons for putting these turbo's on without any supporting mods. JohnnyT originaly asked if his car would be ok with -5 turbo's and no supporting mods. And I'm simply saying that yes it will but he can't expect it to run properly..... like mine.

Hmm, possibly do have other issues, I didn't change anything other than a small amount of metal off the exhaust manifolds??

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
