Given its a hub dyno what sort of "correction factor" do we need to take into account to make a comparison to say a dyno dynamics dyno.

Typically I've seen hub dyno's read around 10% higher - would I be on the right track?

not really, quite a few cars from dyno dynamics shops read way over mine or the more reliable shops will run within 3-6kw, the dynamic test systems dynos like rank rotary and russell performance both read 10-15kw over mine.

Very nice, looks like fun - how much boost is it running to do that?

Something I'm not too sure about however is that last comment - especially performing anywhere near as good? Can you elaborate please, I certainly can't see anything on that dyno plot which shows it having anything over a GT3582R - what I see on that plot is a car making GT3076R power with GT3582R lag. At this stage I have not met anyone who have had reliability issues with a GT3582R yet and have various mates using them for circuit racing at quite high boost levels, making much more power than what you have posted in this thread... and if you have had a Garrett BB failure because of contamination it wouldn't be the turbo I'd be criticising.

At this stage it looks like you can buy a 6boost manifold and a GT3582R for the same price as just a K5-660R by itself, so I am at a loss for what the advantage is? Please bare with me, you must expect being questioned if you are going to make such statements - the Blitz/KKK turbos are definitely a minority amongst the tuner turbos so if someone comes up with one on their car, and makes wild claims about performance it definitely makes one want to know more about it ;)

Cheers.

i should probably add i sell/ fit and tune 10 garret GT3540 to every other turbo due to sheep mentality or pure bugetary restraints, i like the gear and it offers the BEST VALUE but definately NOT the BEST PERFORMANCE. i must admit my favourite baby SR turbo atm is the GT28RS 200-240rwkw over anything else on the market be it blitz, trust hks etc... so i am not anti garret ;)

Oh OK - were the dd's in shootout mode?

Yes, the Forced Performance turbo equivalent of the Garret GT35 also shows up the Garrett as being inferior based on these back to back tests:

Absolutely, I can see that - ditto with being not a Garrett fanboy... but I like to have the advantages pointed out to me why turbo xxx is better than turbo yyy when it has been stated that way but there is no obvious proof. For what its worth, your dyno plot for 340kw @ wheels looked HEAPS like a mate of mines running a .82a/r GT3582R on his RB26DETT with very similar mods. He ran 371wkw on a Dynapack hub dyno running 20psi in a GTR with pretty similar spool. Definitely sounds like the Blitz beasty is a decent unit.

And on average from results I've seen (and I always run on Dynapacks so making my kw smaller isn't really in my ego's interest) Dynapacks read about 10% lower than Dyno Dynamics, though it seems there are the odd DD dynos that read quite high - there are always exceptions to the rules depending on who has set it up etc.

yeah, seriously now i run any serious customers car up before i work on it to get a base line.

Trent do you actually do any tuning or spanner work? looks to me that you spend too much time on the internet

i only bash keys whilst on the phone or orgainsing parts etc.... stupid customs... got a container of front cuts and engines coming and there is way to much office time involved.

Hope you dont mind Archie.... :P I had a HKS Low Mount T04R manifold etc ready to try a T04Z, but Archie's car changed my ming about running one on a 2.6L. Dont know the exact spec of the engine but it had std cams and displacement, though it was running forged internals. Turbo was... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...tml&hl=T04Z

By no means was it a dud, but it definitely is a BIG single when it comes to how it drives

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
