On my car it peaked at 4500rpm with the stock turbo, which I believe is pretty normal, and then started heading downwards.

there are alot of good turbos out there, just gotta decide what you want and then find the right one to suit. I dont know what the max torque is on stock internals, plenty of people making 300rwkw+ so if you work on a 7000-7500rpm limit, you could probably work out what sort of torque is being made. If you still have the book you borrowed, I am pretty sure there would be a conversio formula.

I hope the torque curve stays the same with more boost, cams and gasket, but I am not holding my breath:D

Nice dyno graph Steve. The graph does look very linear, which probably means that the turbo isn't considered "big" for the RB25. Also means that it should be very responsive :) I have attached my dyno graph for comparisons sake, same turbo but on a 2L and you can see that it's definitely a lot peaker than yours. Hence laggier. Off boost it really felt much more sluggish than the stock turbo.

Glad you got good results. Your aim for 300rwkw should be quite achievable.

EVOIV, looks like you were starting to run a bit lean there, 13:1 Were you gettting any detonation?What size turbine AR are you using? Perhaps a smaller one would make a bit of difference? Also what boost were you running? Its interesting because trent from autobarn was making in the range of 280-290rwkw on SR20 S13, he was using a 0.73AR turbine housing.

Certainly is a bit different, although the boost seems to build pretty quickly once it starts:)

the car is very responsive, even off boost it is so much nicer to drive. I wound in 1.2 bar, its just crazy, really got to be very gentle with the right foot if you want to keep traction:) Time for some R compound rubber I think:) or wind the boost down:(

Dont know if you noticed or not (on my other thread), but Evan gave me a quote on the turbo heat shield, said he makes them for $80

$80 for a heat shield seems nice :)

The turbine housing is 0.73. That dyno graph was run on 1.2bar boost. Nope, no detonation...it was tuned by Shaun from MORPOWA who now works for RPM. He said he could put in more fuel, but I'm not sure why they didn't. He said that that AFR was near optimum, but I always thought it should be around 12.8? I had a 044 pump with stock injectors. Not sure what duty cycle was, but I'm sure there was more than enough juice there.

I wasn't aware that Trent's car made so much power. I haven't spoken to him in ages, but at last years AutoSalon I remember him making around 230kW@wheels on 1.2bar? Maybe more. I heard that the engine blew up and they are now going to use an HKS GT28 series turbo, less laggy.

Geez John, not even a kind word!

And I tuned your ute, your 34, your 33 (on two different computers), and your other 33......

Mate, I forgive ya! :burnout:

I was reading a ford mag at work and it had this tuner from QLD that had 2 XR6T packages.

The first was around 6k I think it was around 300rwkw the second was 10k and 400rwkw. I THINK.. I can't remember exactly.

Any one know the exact figures/power?

just wondering if anyone new how much fueltronics charge for remapping.and would it be better to remapp my chip or just buy an aftermarket computer like a power fc? is there really that much difference between the two because theres a big difference in $$$$...the car that needs remapping has a bigger turbo and is about to have bigger injectors....prob 550cc and a gtr fuel pump

Eppilogue to dyno tune.

I saw Martin today, he spent a total of less than 1 hour doing a complete remap of the original tune. Results speak for themselves. The two runs are before and after (of course), but also got the idle sorted alot better (no more hunting) and it doesnt cut out when decellerating anymore (only did it occasionally).

Plotted in shootout mode (the only accurate way, eh Martin;)) the correction was only 1.029, so bugger all. Anyways doesnt make alot of difference, as there is before and after runs.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
