I've got 256 8.8mm/264 9.0mm HKS cams in mine. I saw a peak power gain of 20rwkw - dyno'd before and after, same day, same dyno.

Cheers for that mate 20 rwkw aint nothing to be sneezed at, i was actually thinking HKS cams also. Did you have to replace valve springs?

I took the big lumps out the head exh ports, and exh manifold, didnt bother with the inlet manifold as it was pretty good match, what did you do?

I left the lumps in the head as Chris miltons who did the head work said they are there to help with flow in the std log manifold. Not sure if thats guess work or what not.

They smoothed them out, ported polished, valve deshroud and multiangle valve job. I remember mentioning they work the inlet valve job different to the exhaust due to the reversed gas flow.

Noticeable difference before and after when feeling around. Set me back around 1.1k.

I made everything spot on. Any little lip I removed it.

You didn't match the turbo to exhaust manifold? As that was the biggy. See pic attached.

I couldn't help myself as I visualised the exhaust gas smashing in to the flat edges, causing turbulence and killing power. :)

Waves in dyno runs are generally only ever the result of a control system problem inherent in the dyno. If not you would feel them on the road.

The way to properly test whether an intercooler is too small. Its very simple, and doesnt - much like your engine - take into account anything other than the pure physics of the situation - plug a pressure feed in each side of the the intercooler. The Mainline uses both its pressure sensors to then calculate a channel called 'Pressure Drop' which graphs against power or other data channels to show you exactly how or even if the intercooler is holding you up :)

Yeah checked that one, The IW housing i had on my turbo was already larger than the manifold.

while my head is being done, should I take a porting tool into the stock exhaust manifold?

worth it or not, to clean up the insides of a stock manifold?

itd just be with a drill bit type metal sander, to polish the edges and insides as far as possible.

always thought I should do it while the head is being done....... thoughts? any point?

Curious how Guilt-Toy is getting 370rwkw odd out of his 740 injectors on E85. :S

Lambda .86 is considered max power lean (which your already sitting on) so who knows. :S

A little OT but this injector size calc.

http://www.megamanual.com/flexfuel.htm

500hp needs 71lb/hr injectors. 71lb/hr is 750cc. 300rwkwish is around 500hp at the fly given the DD Dyno estimate 70-75rwkw drive train loss.

550hp = 830cc

600hp = 900cc

Thats a lot of injector. Nothing a little fuel pressure can't fix. :thumbsup:

I thought he said he tuned it to 340rwkw on E85, and was a little vague on the duty dycle, seems to remember somewhere it the 80% range i think, could be wrong. Also he's running 2 pumps, an intank feeding a external bosch, where as i'm only running a internal tomei, cant say what pressure he's running nor mine for that matter i've just turned the nismo fpr 3/4 of a turn on from where it was when new! I have a theory that I may be tipping in a little extra fuel to compensate for the extra heat my little comp covers making! sounds good.

also changed from 600x300x 76 thick cooler to a 100mm thick version and it made the exact same power....

My old intercooler was a little over 50mm thick, not as aesthetically pleasing to me as it once was, and I wanted to go to a 600 x 300 x 100mm item - for the price of a decent intercooler of this size these days it's a no-brainer.

I recall a figure of 340rwkw on E85 from Guilt Toy too.

A 'mild' single pump upgrade and a slight increase in fuel pressure probably means you've got a bit left in reserve if need be.

I'm going to opt for 870cc injectors, that way I've got plenty of headroom should the need arise at a later stage down the track.

yep. 2.6 litre torque :rolleyes:

Thats a super fat curve, with that sort of torque who needs gears

what are these 870's, are they drop in side feed?

If Martin comes back, could you tell us what the numbers on the left of the derived torque are and how they relate to the peak torque figure written in the middle between the graphs ( much higher numbers )?

what are these 870's, are they drop in side feed?

Adrian, they're Siemens 870cc top feed injectors. I have a custom top feed rail - so much easier when searching for injector options.

Siemens Racing Injector, designed for Aftermarket Performance Applications

Suitable for 175HP per injector in Non-Turbo Applications

Suitable for 139HP per injector for Turbo and Supercharged Applications

83 lb/hr (870cc/min)

14mm O'Ring

Low Impedance (2.2ohms)

Uses Bosch Style Square Connector (EV1)

Also Suitable for Alcohol (Methanol)

While we're on the topic of 870cc injectors and Guilt Toy's E85 beast, I see he is selling a set of 870cc Sard injectors.

Here is a great example of what you can do with a 3 litre RB series engine if you set it up and tune it correctly across the whole rpm spectrum, optimising for Mean Best Torque.

The interest to be taken away here is not in the 652rwkw (875rwhp) but in the difference between roller measured torque and derived torque calculated back from the engine rpm :whoops:

32gtros.jpg

Pure or roller torque is in the region of 1420Nm from 6000rpm which gives the engine plenty of pull towards the redline, but is hardly an accurate indication of actual torque. Now we bring up the derived calculation, which shows a closer and more accurate 880Nm. You can see there is a very big difference between roller torque - the way some here have been looking at their figures - and derived torque. I think actually looking at this we have a new Skyline torque winner as well :)

We should have some more figures very soon from a similar engine and turbocharger package we are engineering that will achieve the 1000Nm derived torque figure. As some have been heard to say, 600rwkw, its yesterdays 300rwkw :yucky:

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
