our car easily made 450AWKW at all fours on BP98 @ 20psi with GT-RS's. 2.6ltr as well and was only ran in the day before this dyno run. Not as responsive as Racepace's much touted RB29 but with your extra capacity i think you would go the 'pepsi challenge' with it. Our car also made around 470AWKW at all fours on 25psi and over 500AWKW on Sunoco fuel. Look at the mid-range difference...thats where you RPM rage will be on the circuit. GT-RS's are a great turbo choice for your application...what tracks will you be racing on?

That is some very nice mid range indeed.... over taking the mid range of the 2530's in most ranges aswell. I recall your setup making minimal power increase intially after changing from the GT2530's? The GT-RS's are aboviously after a different setup engine...can you shed some light for us embarking on the initial voyage.? :blink:

At this stage I will be just at Mallala. Then I'll venture out from there

Interesting again that one, many a car has made 380rwkw on stock manifolds here and for many years its been done, even more so on some setups (and fuel etc).

hmm.

unique1 - if 450rwhp is your goal, GT-SS/-7 will do it... but it'll virtually make boost on idle with the extra capacity as they spool early enough on my 2.6ltr thats choked up.

Gav - that graph still amazes me everytime i see it with the smaller puppies on there and a stroker - love it :blink:

Sorry, i'll confirm for the sloower individuals. When I said "they make 350rwkw on the std cast manifolds"...I mean the two -5 turbo's on my car on my dyno....was pointing out that the stainless manifolds flow more and the cast ones can be made to be just as good if not better. Obviously others will make more and less power and have there output measured on many different dyno's with many different ramp rates with many different correction factors, with many different rolling diameters, etc

Those guys who posted up lap times in there signature block are giving me a better indication on what works. There is a few corners at Mallala that I get caught low in the rpm range---so I can see why -5s on an Rb28 or Rb30 would be a wise setup for a tight track.

Thanks for the constructive replies from those that gave them so far.

Thanks for the info, what capacity engine was the dyno graph comlpeted on?

So you are currently making 534rwhp with the -5s on a 2.8ltr?

Just finished a new tune and am making spot on 550 rwhp on a 2.8L. The dynograph was the same engine, except the older "peakier" setup was with GT-RS terbs, 136mm intercooler and Greddy plenum. New setup is with -5 terbs, 100mm HKS cooler and Nismo plenum. Cams are 272 Step 2 and head is extensively ported with 1mm O/S valves

Either/or, manifolds for the -5s is a waste, so is porting them

has everyone forgotten about Toogle??...

502awkw... 9.997sec 1/4... GT-RS turbos....

they pack a pretty impressive punch and theyre responsive as :D

thats Twoogle.... :D

9.95sec.... :O

but yes very responsive indeed!...they were even better with race fuel and more boost...ill miss the GT-RS's...but they served the purpose they were bought for.

Ive put a 1100hp single turbo on it now (modified HKS T51R SPL BB).... :D

Mate haven't you got something better to do.

I made 30 more rwkw with stainless manifolds and match ported turbine housings and no loss what so ever in the bottom end. If you think thats a waste thats fine. It's my engine. I'm sure others would have differing results...but I couldn't care less.

That is very very impressive indeed! I think I'll hold onto my -5's and back to back them on the engine dyno =) I have a JUN plenum to go on...will see how that goes....also trying the new Tomei dump pipes over my current HKS ones. What are your thoughts on porting the head? We have been looking at some work in the intake bowl area and short turns but minimal oversizing of the exhaust to aid port velocity.

I would have thought the large volume of the Jun plenum is more suited to outright hp (i.e. large flow and boost) rather than response of two small compressors. Have never seen a before and after dyno with one fitted, so I may stand corrected.

I swapped away from the cross piped HKS manifolds to Tomei items. Very nice build quality and enabled me to refit the factory heat shield and water lines. Besides neatening up the area, it drops the temperature down in this region of the engine bay considerably.

The main reason I ported the head was that I bought a brand new head from Nissan and was amazed at how inconsistent the port sizes and shapes were for a brand new item. Actually, if you think about it it really is probably an assembly line worked just tidying up the casting dags etc. I thought that whilst I was going to the trouble of doing that, it would be worth spending the extra time in port matching to the inlet (Nismo) and exhaust (Tomei) manifolds. Then, whilst we were there we fitted new guides, and may as well get bigger valves............well, you know how it goes.

So what has all this done to the result? My belief is that it enables the peak torque curve to stay flatter up the top for longer. In other words, it extends usable rev range and gives greater gear choice for most situations.

Now....if you were asking about "bang for buck'' then that's another matter. I reckon you can achieve 80% plus of what I have done with standard plenum, cast manifolds, cams and intercooler.

but yes very responsive indeed!...they were even better with race fuel and more boost...ill miss the GT-RS's...but they served the purpose they were bought for.

Ive put a 1100hp single turbo on it now (modified HKS T51R SPL BB).... :P

Yay Congrats on the move to a big single :D

I thought you said when you first got the GTRSs they were quite laggy?

They were...it smashed a 1000rpm 'hole' in my torque curve...but that engine was built to suit 2530's. So i pulled the engine and built one around the turbo's. The result was so good it shocked even the most experienced GTR tuner/builder in Aust.(Jim Souvas at CRD) who always questioned my decision to stay with the 'low mounts'. They were simply devastating in all rpm ranges once full tune and race fuel was added (dyno graph earlier was BP98 and a simple fairly rich run-in tune)...id put that combo up against any low mount 2.6 in the world.

Gav your spot on about the porting mate...our torque curve looked like an NA V8's...flat from 4500rpm all the way to redline.

Excellent - yeah really illustrates how matching a turbo spec and engine spec matters. Look forward to seeing how it goes with the T51R :D

PS. on the subject of manifolds, we flow tested a chinese stainless manifold and std cast manifold and the stainless flowed 50% more! Then we spent 6 hours porting the std cast manifolds paying particular attention to the short turns and they flowed 46% more(4% less than the ebay ones). With the relability and heat retension properties of cast I know what I'll be using

Matt

Interested in porting my standard GTR exhaust manifolds also, seems easy to do at each end but how did you clean out the bit in the middle with all those bends?

I have heard of an abrasive paste that is applied and then blasted out that removes a fair bit, has anyone else come across this?

Cheers,

Rod.

Yes Rod, extrude honing the STD manifolds works very well. If i went back to lowies thats what i would do for manifolds...port matched extrude honed STD items with hi temp black ceramic coating for further heat retention..

I would have thought the large volume of the Jun plenum is more suited to outright hp (i.e. large flow and boost) rather than response of two small compressors. Have never seen a before and after dyno with one fitted, so I may stand corrected.

yeah agreed, i was speaking to *&^% the D1gp and SUPER LAP blitz mechanic who is a JUN freak (for engine internals) and they tried all inlet manifold combinations on nomukens R34 which is a 580ps nismo 2.8l kitted rb25 with NEO head and GTR individual throttle bodies and it was the nismo inlet plenum that came up trumps. I would seriously consider the nismo item. He was the legend who built my exhaust manifold for me.

I agree the nismo collector works very well, however is may not be as well suited to 800hp....how much average power difference I would like to know.....

The Nismo intake collector is designed with form & function in mind, and is fully optimized for air flow in tuning the GT-R engine (400ps to 600ps). This intake collector is a standard item in the NISMO Z-tune GT_R34 Ver.2002. It is completely bolt-on installation, and no modifications on are necessary on the idling control, fuel piping, clutch piping & vacuum piping. (The only minor adjustments needed are on the throttle linkage & throttle sensor). Improved medium speed torque is achieved by improving airflow onto each cylinder, and this is done by refining the diameter & length of the inlet pipe & cross section of the intake collector.

Normal Collector

Based on factory item with respect to form factor, air is not evenly distributed to all 6 cylinders. As a result, the NISMO air collector tried to distribute air flow evenly & equally by redefining the intake form factor.

There is a difference in turbine inlet exhaust gas temperature between the front & the rear. The overall temperature difference has been reduced drastically due to an improved & efficient intake quantity between the cylinders on both sides. (The exhaust gas temperatures at the front-rear turbine was reduced at an average of 18% at 2400 RPM to 7000 RPM)

The fuel supply density is high in order to protect the turbocharger from high exhaust gas temperatures. With the NISMO air collector, temperatures are reduced and this resulted in improved fuel economy & improved output. Both cylinders & ignition timing could be optimized because exhaust gas temperature differences becomes small. (At 4800 RPM to 7600 RPM, output improved by an average of 1.8%, and fuel consumption improved by an average of 0.4%)

My engine will be tuned on an engine dyno. The tunner is not from the commercial/retail circuit.

Nice! It wouldn't be too hard to change turbo if the GTRS is restrictive.

IMHO the T517Z is a bit restrictive at top end in your setup.

Please post up a dyno result when you are done :blink:

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
