If it's remotely relevant my old rb26 with 0.82 gt35 was making ~400rwkw with egt's (as measured approx 1" from the head) between 870-890degC on all cylinders after applying some pretty big corrections.

By comparison a friends rb with a t04z making a fair bit more power had egt's ranging between 860 and 910deg (a lot less work put into trimming individual cylinders). Both cars on pump 98.

I think you'll find Nathan's is still a 2.6L, he will join the cool kids with the 3L's soon enough I hope

I was thinking of doing a freshen up over christmas too. maybe its time.

Thats a good result from pump 98.

Drove it to the exhaust shop today, what a feeling it was.

At full noise the exhaust sounds almost stock! Driving around in traffic its a bit louder.

Could be registered next week :)

  • 5 months later...

Been a quite hectic last couple of months, thinking I had plenty of time to get ready for Powecruise things went a bit pear shaped after the initial run it.

More later....

Waddya tryin to build up the suspense Dave, spill it already ya beeaartch. :action-smiley-069:

Noel,

I literally need 30 mins to type the never ending saga which is my relationship with this car over the last few months.

Short hand is:

Run in.

Noisy engine bay.

Weird fragments in sump and oil

Engine out

Oil pump rebuilt

Stripped and inspected bottom end

New clutch

New harmonic balancer (modified)

New gears and pulleys (modified)

New thermo fan setup

New complete hot side :)

and a $40 alternator lol

sounds normal to me Dave. :rofl:

We sorted the last major issue today which brought a smile to my face, then one of the oil cooler fittings WELDED to the cooler decided to explode. So off to Earls in the morning to see if I can get a new cooler under warranty.

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
