Flattest Torque Curve?

What mods support the widest, flattest torque curve on an rb 2.6 tt?

Or to put things another way, what mods tend to combat torque roll off

after it peaks at 4600 or so?

there is a long way from 4500 rpm to 8200 rpm, after all, and I see most

dyno plots torque rolls off quite dramatically.

I'm not asking from the start point of any specific setup, except I already

know that increasing displacement and dialing back boost is the easiest solution,

wondering what tricks there are for 2.6

it doesnt drop off.. it actually continues to climb lol

stock cams.. i think its turbo selection :P

thats a flat torque curve as far as it goes at least -- did you figure out what you have that isn't stock yet?

in particular, what your turbo is? maybe I didn't look through your post history well enough but

you don't seem very sure!

well i measured the turbo up and the comp wasnt stock.. measured 66mm instead of i think theyre suppose to be 61??

so its slightly larger.. the rear end was still ceramic.. and hence the rebuild..

the rest is stock.. ive got the motor in pieces now.. stock everything else :)

have a looksi :)

problem is the way those dyno's guesstimate torque, they really dont give an accurate idea... lots of wheelspin though too so i would probably a bit more up top. Nice power for an unknown owner you must have been very happy :down: it not often you get more than you expect.

Russells is pretty much accross the way and does great work especially on V8's. I've noticed average thier dyno reads a bit high compared to mine and Dyno Dynamics so i reckon R33 GTR turbos would be a good guess at whats on there.

the power curve looks a bit funny to me. quite a slow climb. for instance my GTR just tuned the other week. at 4500rpm you are at 175kw i'm at 220. at 5,000rpm it makes 250kw, yours is on 200. at 5500 you're on ~230 i'm on ~280 and yet we both make about the same peak. but basically 50kw more everywhere else.

I don't have my torque curve handy but it should be pretty good. you can see this style of 300kw has lots of area under the curve which makes it fast on the street (and the track too).

odd i know.. my turbos were very laggy :D but they had a lot uptop.. if only they did the turbos properly..

instead of just puttin a large comp wheel on it, they shouldve put steel wheels too, then it woulda seen well over 300awkw easily

it was only on 15psi :P i ran 18psi most days till they died

Gotta love dyno dynamics "adjustment" FTW

This was done in shootout mode actually. The corrections are on this sheet so no funny bussiness..

Have since done somemore tunning on a brand new 4wd dyno with some vp109.. 545awhp was my 98 tune... It has run hi 10's but with crappy 60ft 1.99 then got booted cause the lack of safety gear..106mph 1/8 133 terminal so if i can get 60ft times down times should come down a far way. The car is as nissan sold it so theres nothing removed as yet.. As i said 2530's ftw.. :sick:

545rwhp on realistic fuel is more like it.

Posting a graph on race fuel/NOS whatever, without telling people that doesn't help, nor did it add anything to the thread .. plus the IT temp of 50 degree's is adding some nice correction to it all :whistling:

People just assume PULP, as that's what you get from a servo.

Running 109 octane is a TOTALLY different kettle of fish

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
