Hi guys,

Just thought I might share my video with ya'll. Went for a drive this morning (nice and cold), got up to about 200km/h.

Have alot of traction issues in 1st and 2nd gear, sometimes even third if you smash the gears in.

What do you guys think, not bad acceleration?

cheers

Nice man, I assume that was all done on a closed runway :cheers:

270 odd kw is my eventual power aim, if you don't mind me asking how much was the 2835 and what other mods do you have? How much boost you running? I was originally wanting a GT-RS but from everything I have seen it will struggle to net 270+ without cams or excessive boost.

Hey mate, don't mind you asking at all.

The turbo was about $3,250 delivered to Canberra, Australia. I paid a little more as I wanted to pay with paypal (ALWAYS PAY WITH PAYPAL when buying things from overseas!!!.

Running about 17-18PSI (It fluctuates depending on the weather)

I got the normal mods; 555cc Nismo Injectors, Bocsh 040 fuel pump, GReddy front mount, Splitfire coilpacks, straight through exhaust, power FC, Cold air intake with heat shield, and the HKS GT2835 turbo with the HKS split dump pipe.

The turbo is ALOT laggier than stock, but yes MUCH MUCH tougher!

Personally, I don't think its worth it compared to the GT-RS, if I had a second chance, I would've gone for the GT-RS, purely because of the money factor. But then again, you do get the split dump with the 2835 turbo kit.....

Nonetheless, both are great turbos!

Cheers

I have 314rwkw and its not that much quciker than what you have recorded, well done.

haha, yeah, you were on a private runway

Cheers mate.

Yeah, ofcourse I was on a closed runway! :cheers:

Mafia, when you achieved your 12.4 1/4 mile time, what was your 0-60 time? I thought with 314rwkw you should be in the VERY low 12's, maybe even break into the high 11s?

hey mate, the power was down a lot when I ran that time, as I just installed a new fuel pump and the AFR's were at 10:1 lol.

Not sure what it runs now with the new power, as the track is not finished. It was destroyed in the floods we had recently.

Be interestingf you could run a wheel speed sensor off a front wheel that way the loss of traction doesnt mess with your speedo.

Looks grunty, only, why post footage of you doing crazy speeds in a public place like youtube then link it on a public forum ;)

Because it was done on private property and I would like to see you or the police prove otherwise :happy:

Perhaps he was indicating to other cars he was entering pits?

Look we know he did it on a public road but the point is he filmed ONLY the instrument cluster and at no point did he say it was done on a public road. Innocent until proven guilty and there is nothing conclusive for the cops to go on. Lets just apreciate the video for what it is, which is someone with a new turbo showing us what its like :happy:

Thats interesting... The 2835 is usually considered to be a relatively lag free turbo...

I'm not saying that the turbo is a lag monster, but compared to the stock turbo (especially when I first got in the car after the dyno tune), it was sooooo much laggier than the stock turbo... But when it hits, it's nothing but smiles! :nyaanyaa:

Thanks for all the comments guys.

VERY nice turbo (HKS GT2835 Pro S) indeed.

cheers

Very nice video :( Was interesting to observe, I can't tell watching it if my turbo (.82a/r GT3076R) is any laggier - nothing obvious thats for sure . Something else which is interesting is your car is definitely a bit quicker than mine, I have made very similar power number but on a hub dyno so all it does is confirms what every already knows - hub dynos read a bit higher haha. When I sort a couple of things out I am tempted to try a 17-18psi tune and have a blat at the local race track (I actually have one 15mins drive from my house!! :( ) and see what mine does the rolling to 200k thing like.

Should be good for some rapid 1/4 mile times like that, especially with some sticky tires.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
