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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
