Building An Rb26 For Response....


Recommended Posts

I recently got my car tuned with 'response' in mind.

I have -7's, ID2000's on pump 98 and stock internals, and this was the result:

1476343_10153636999910301_502255709_n.jp

Does this graph represent a "responsive" engine? Certainly feels responsive, as in there is very little lag when going full tilt.

Obviously it has a long way to go as far as HP is concerned, but would that response be sacrificed if boost pressure was increased?

It all depends on the tuner. I get full boost by around 3900RPM for my 320KW. Though i dont have stock internals. Is there a reason you got ID2000? Large injectors for the turbos you are running. Also what AFM are you running? that to me looks like stock AFM maxing out.

Running ID2000's because I will eventually run e85, just ran out of funds to flexfuel setup. Everything else is ready to go though, twin 044's and surge tank etc.

As for AFM's, I switched from a vipec to a haltech platinum pro, so it shouldn't be relying on AFM's as far as I know.

Interesting. Could possibly just be the age of the motor.

What would you be expecting? We did ask for a reliable tune. When I decide to rebuild I will chasing HP but at this stage I want it to last as long as possible.

Wouldn't know without looking at the actual health of the engine. Your tuner would know what they are doing. Best to keep it as safe as possible. My tune isn't overly "Safe" its a bit agressive but i have had a ground up rebuild.

That is a nice curve though. From what i've seen most cars run around the 270-290 mark that are still stock internals.

Honestly until you even think about doing internals i wouldn't put in on E85. Has the motor been rebuilt previously? if not 20 years is a long time worth of thrashing haha.

I should have taken some photos of what my motor did to itself...

Edit: as zebra said. It's fine. Im pushing 21PSI through mine...

Shit that's good for standard actuators. I can't believe they still hold boost that well.

it's more the way the cams are set, making better use of the air it gets meaning the turbos don't have to working as had

a good quality boost controller doesn't hurt either

Haha,don't know,hoping to fix it with next tune,that tune just then was a lazy tune I think,took him an hour

what mods have you got done ?, cause yeah that's not great at all, what boost is that ?

cam gears ? if not get some

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
