Hey Ryan, do you know how to fit a set of drop spindles to the front of a hilux???

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

also note i couldnt find it before

but i didn't go against what you said just to be an asshat it is documented a RB25 turbo on a RB20 engine is quiet capable of 14-15psi this is why i believe on a RB25 engine it isnt running out of efficiency @ 13-14

source

Have a look at some efficiency tables. People dont realise that it's not all about boost in alot of cases. A stock turbo works sooo much harder to produce 13-14psi than a much larger turbo. A smaller turbo working harder than a larger one has 10 times more heat than a slightly larger turbo on the same psi. Heat is the main cause for it's loss in efficiency. Heat is the main contributor for power loss. Heat is another contributor for detonation. Heat Heat Heat. 10-12 PSI is the effiency range for that sized turbo combination. It's been proven over and over and over again. It pays to spend time on all sorts of cars using different sized turbo's and watching power DIVE when you add any more HEAT and BOOST into a turbo that isn't efficient for those settings.
Also, you can't compare an rb25 turbo's efficiency on an RB20 because an RB20 if your unaware is a 2L. Being a 2L it has less stroke, less flow, less heat so therefore the effiencienfy range for that specific turbo goes up a tad. Efficiency can also be determined with front and rear housing not matching at a certain flow level. At 10-12psi the rear housing of the rb25 turbo is just large enough to not create surges caused by lack of flow in relation to how much the front housing is squeezing into the motor. Where as at 12psi and above, the front housing is flowing a tad too much volume for that tiny little rear housing to handle....sure it will cope, but it gets f**kn hot. Hense where the heat comes into play, in turn heatsoaking the front housing a whole lot more..taking efficiency away from the turbo. Another reason efficiency can be effected is because the front wheel of the compressor is designed to flow a certain amount of air at a certain speed. Just like a water pump, Behaving fairly simular, if you speed the front wheel up and the pitch of the front wheel is incorrect for speed it is turning, Just like a water pump it can cavitate the air and be useless. Hence why if you use the wrong pitch of the prop on a plane at the wrong speed then the plane will loose momentum. Once again the same with a water pump, if the impellor's pitch doesn't suit the speed it is turning at it will can cavitate and there for loose efficiency.

Chad, are you running standard internals? Or are you running some form of 26/30 or stroked 2.8 kit lol :P

Weren't you pumping out 230kw with the standard turbo's? That's nearly a 100kw power gain! Lol that's crazy dude.

Yeah it was 230kw before and as Luke said im just running GT2860-5's on a standard internal R33 GTR motor.

awesome effort chad!

Thanks mate, i also did a few mods to the manifolds and dump pipes to improve air flow, and also hollowed out the AFM's as they aren't used, which would of helped a little.

So the Skyline is now done. Thanks to Andew (blue32) for fitting the turbos for me. It made 316rwkw on the Willall dyno. Im very happy with the end result :P

thats a great result Chad

WELOCOME TO THE 300+RWKW CLUB.........

understand madaz?

yeah mate but i still cant help thinking that a RB20 pushing 15psi is going to put out similar heat to a RB25 pushing out 13-14psi

i only had on a few occasions heat soaking on my car so i know it does happen when you push the standard turbo too much

looks like a nice figure there Mitch but i believe there running less brake on the rollers to inflate your figure there Mitch

I agree steve my mates GT went from 224 at Aussies to 257 at KPM with the addition of underdrive pulleys only :P (which in reality would be 5-10rwkw at the most). Hows your car doing mate got it sorted?

Hi Lee na i minor issue of not being able to boost part 5k rpm has arisen will be at adrians friday to drop my front shaft and to smooth out the lower rpm and double check afr's as well

my future plans for big injectors may have changed also due to a slight drop in compression nothing to worry about but enough to know its tired and wont support 300 unless E85 is a lot more forgiving which i think it is more research needed and a chat to adrian

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
