Sams Performance is getting a seriously good name with regards to Gen III's and LS1 Edit. A mate's VX II R8 was dynoed there a few weeks ago and made considerable gains and was very impressed with the knowledge on hand.

Definitely a V8 place though. Thought you'd have to bring your own tuner...

yeah there was one hella tuff black hsv with ls1 engine... i didn't know anything i saw in that engine bay coz my knowlege on v8s r minimal... :cheers:

there were cars from everywhere... victoria, canberra etcetc..

i brought HITMAN with me.... got 225kw @ 4wheels

for people with GTR's though, how do you guys get it sideways through a corner?

Allegedly, attempting to overtake a 1st gen RX7 around a tight corner will do it :cheers:

The torque split controller in GTRs feeds power to the rear wheels, as such it drives like a GTS-t would. When it detects wheelspin it starts feeding torque to the front wheels to a maximum ratio of 50:50. Quite different to a WRX which drives all 4 wheels all the time.

Naturally the reason why you need a 4WD dyno for a GTR is because on a normal dyno, as soon as it senses the rear wheels turning and the front wheels are stopped it goes "oh shit, wheelspin!" and feeds power to the front. The car then procedes to add a new window in the workshop :D

Hi guys,

Sorry to jump in here but I have a question.

First off congrats to Prank, very nice numbers...

But that is the source of my question.

My GTR has 2530's, dumps, full exhaust, power fc, hks intercooler and is making 320hp at all 4 on 1.15bar on a dyno dynamics dyno. If Christian is getting 280 on standard turbos shouldn't I be getting a lot more than I am with the same boost??? I am only running that because the injectors are getting close to maximum and will run 1.4 once i have bigger ones, but I'm curious as to why my numbers appear so low compared to standard turbo gtr's..

It's not just Pranks car either, others talk about 300 + on standard turbos so do ya think mines not tuned right?? The a/f's are spot on says my tuner...

Just a question...

Cheers

Brett

Remeber that output is largly related to boost. ie. if everyone that owns a GTR runs 1 bar of boost then hp should be reasonably close. The main reason that you usually upgrade turbos is so that you can run more boost and then make bigger hp.

Hope this helps.

I only recently witnessed how dynos can tell some big fat porkies. Two different cars and dynos.

Ones, I went for a drive in a 180rwks RB25DET, felt it too. Plenty of top end, and pulled nicely. (stock turbo)

The very next day a friend got his car tuned, and turned out a 185rwks reading.(HKS 2530) Imagine my surprise when he took me for a drive that night.

This thing stuggles for grip all the way thru 2nd slewing the car sideways, and pulls much harder in 3rd. There is no way these cars had remotely the same power.

There would be at least a 1.5-2.0 second difference in the 1/4 times. Im guessing close to flat 14 for one, and a high 12 for the other.

I always thought that no matter what turbo u had, 1 bar of boost was 1 bar of boost.....

I mean at the throttle the same amount of air is coming through no matter what has pushed that air through??? you're still getting 1 bar of boost into ur engine weather a T88's supplying that much pressure of 2540's are????

am I wrong???

can someone clear that up??

But 1 bar from a huge turbo flows heaps more air than 1 bar with a small turbo.

that's the part I don't get????

logic would say that 1 bar of pressure is 1 bar of pressure... the measurement doesnt change just because 1 turbo's bigger than another????

if the bigger turbo is flowing more air than that can't be 1 bar???

can someone clarify??

No. Dont confuse volume of air with pressure. Pressure is a force, volume is a unit of measureing how much space is being used.

The way I understand it is, a larger turbo flows the same pressure over a larger area. Think about blowing air through a thin straw at 5 psi, then blow 5psi through a straw with a bigger hole, which straw will more air?

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
