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:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • 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.
