My RB feels to be more than somewhat lacking around 4000rpm. See attached chart.

It has the following

Garrett 28-60's 707160-5 turbos.

HKS dumps.

Tomei Poncams.

Unadjusted cam gears.

Power FC with Z32 AFM's.

Stock internals with good compression.

Some other random parts which probably aren't very important

Basically my question is this:

How can I get some more torque from 4000rpm to about 5000rpm?

its all in the timing and tuning, get some adjustable cam gears....assuming you mean non adjustable cam gears not non adjusted adjustable cam gears. ...(not cheap ones the screws rattle loose),......does that make sense????????????????????

and then go back for a full tune( assuming its a aftermarket ecu/piggyback?)

if not you'll be better off with one of those too.

richard,

just did some dyno time last night and i have the same gear as you but forge internals now.

I have a bit of porting done to the head and manifolds but shouldnt be a million miles away.

with the 260 x 9.15 cams we made 470 hp at 1.35 bar boost and 330 odd ft/pd torque. We then advanced the inlet cam 2 degrees and retarded the exhaust 2 degrees. then made 465 hp but 386 ft/pd torque at 7500 at 1.35 bar.

boosted a bit earlier as well, around 3800 for usable boost pressure.

Worth a try.

Cheers for that. The motor I have is a bit rediculous. It has bolt ons to run it up over 500rwhp but stock internals, so has been turned down to allow it try & live a troubled life. I got crunched for time for getting the tune done which meant no fiddling of the Tomei cam gears. The joy of living in the bush is RB gurus are 180km away in Perth.

Anyway I would be curious to see what people are generating in terms of rwhp through 4000rpm.

    • Lol yeah I ordered the clips mentioned and as far as the amayama diagrams go i think thats all I'll need. Fogured id ask, sometimes people's first hand experience doesnt always match up to diagrams haha, i guess I'll wing it and worse comes to worse I'll just deal with it as I go
    • Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol
    • I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.  
    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
    • I don't know the answer to this, but did you have a look at the parts diagrams on amayama.com and see what they list around it for your car? As an example this should be it on my car. That's how I would check for required clips and things like that. But, I take no responsibility for you ending up with a box full of random OEM hoses, washers and clips after going down that path a few times. This definitely has never happened to me
