in regards to the above you tube links.

im not real sure what you guys see in the gtrs.

have you not been in anything faster?

it makes lots of wooshing noises but dosent seem to pull very hard.

you may say im full of shit but i know what my wifes car is capable of and that gtrs has nothing on the muppet bus.

i think the car above in question has lots of mods and a hell of a lot of money thrown at it , yet it struggles to make the wheels chirp as it ramps onto boost in second. wheres all the midrange? for dollars spent it should spin to the limiter when you floor it in second, but it dosent.

have you driven that car cos it sounds like you know the person or how it drives or are you just guessing

i found your muppet bus

its as fast as you say it is well done you must know what your doing .......take EG MEMBERS

just in case you did not like that one

nice set up

moving right along !! lol

Yeah thats a fairly good point, if thats in 2rd - mine gets a lot more savage than that and romps through second. Makes the pretty noises too, but probably a fair bit cheaper setup - and only running conservative boost.

The GT2835 vid posted in this thread sounds like it'd give it a spank :D

Heres a clip with mine when I got the internally gated housing, before I got the boost controller for it:

when you ran the 1/4 in that video on you tube it looks like you ran a mid 13 ,do you remember what you ran. :thumbsup:

1) the car is the vid is running a 2835 pro s (the gtrs was mentioned later)

2) people go for this setup as they are able to get away without forgies

3) how do you know he floored it?

Answer: It's a very nice streetable turbo that is capable of pushing out 250-260rwkw

have you not been in anything faster?

Answer: Yes, I have. What's your point?

it makes lots of wooshing noises but dosent seem to pull very hard.

Answer: How do you know the amount of boost he is running, or what modifications for that fact? How do you know he even floored it? The curve on this turbo is much more linear, thus, it won't appear to smash you to your seat like a larger turbine would.

Answer: As for your muppet bus, I don't feel as though I need to say anything......... The video explained it all :thumbsup:

Answer: He could've been running 9 PSI for all you know, maybe he has 265 tyres on the rear? Maybe he has an awesome suspension setup? Maybe he didn't floor it?

Please don't come on this forum and insult peoples' cars and what mods they have. The GT-RS is a great turbo and I'm sure all those people who have been in a car with that turbo will agree with me.

Cheers

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 results, seems to go very well, just a question, what tyre/sizes are you using? seems like your are using a cheap tyre thats not very wide, hence not very good traction, im using 255 toyos and i have full traction in 1st (trys to spin up 2nd if you shift fast enough)

Mate, this thread should pack it in.

Why post a speedo vid, could have been going down a hill for all we know.

Everyone knows the 2835 is a bloody top turbo so now lets see some 1/4 times.

End of story.

Hey thanks for the comment.

I'm using 235's and they are bridgestone, not sure what model and CBF checking.

What's the thickest tyre do you think I could put on 7.5" wide rims? Could I go 245?

I'm looking for 17 x 7.5 on the front and 17 x 8.5 on the rear but no one sells such rims for a cheap price these days. Any recommendations? I know Work sell them but they are like $2,400 JUST for the wheels themselves!

Pretty hard to get such wheel spin going down hill if you ask me?? :thumbsup:

And no, I wasn't going down hill. :D

245 on that rim not a problem ..people put 255 m/t on 300zx rims which are 7.5.

Yeah Ive got some 235/45s on a 7" rim sitting in my garage, so 245s shouldnt be a prob on a 7.5...only thing is they roll around on the rim and gives the car a squishy feeling as the sidewalls move around a bit more..

when you ran the 1/4 in that video on you tube it looks like you ran a mid 13 ,do you remember what you ran. :)

13.3 @ 112mph :) I'd post a time slip but its a huge pic. That was done with no boost controller it was effectively boost creeping, until it finally reached 1bar and it would stabilise a bit. I needed to be well into 3rd before it reached 1bar of boost, so first gear was no/hardly quicker than with a stock turbo (running 11psi pretty much) and then built up from there. By 3rd is was starting to stomp. Since then I have put an AVCR in it and the comparison is night and day from back then - on the dyno it makes pretty much no peak power difference, just that in first and second it all comes in and the midrange feels WAY better. It was also lagging a bit on each gear shift prior to the boost controller :(

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
