Whats the fuel mileage like driving around town not using boost. Thats the -ONLY- reason i could see for using a turbo that doesn't hit hard until 4,600rpm. By 4,600rpm a stock GTS-T turbo has already been in action for over 2.000rpm.

Smaler turbo's are tuned so they react faster than the mighty power giants.....

Originaly designed by the French to fuel and generate alternat power.

And they will almost work 98% as long as the engine is runnin. We all know that. some of us prefer thinking they only work when in the red and the big pshhhhh goes off.....nice jeahhh.

The GTSt's are more finley tunded than GTR's simple reason. Smaller everything, more degradation on parts over time...

Marketing the R33 ment finding out what comparison between parts and cost of maintenence will relate to people compared to numbers manufacturer releases on the year.

So if you are thinking about economy than talk to Mr Johny I thinlk his moms shoppin troley is fuel efficient enough.

Hey people lets not forget about the laws of physics, the dyno will give you some fancy numbers and the guys running will tunme your car. YES. Walid statement. But how many of you R drivers have taken the circuyit and felt the g's under some unreal conditions with corners and cops on both sides of your rear vision. So please unleas you wana sound like the rest of the pathetic Comodore club nerds

In the great ones words "LETS GET REAL"

I agree with all of you its great funn driving the greatest car ever made. Keep up the excellent articles flowin guys I love reading them. "Money generates horsepower, the person driving it kills the RB and sometimes the dream"

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
