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.

understand madaz?

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

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
