hey there,

as of the other day update the final figures of my GTR mods (2860-5, G4 Link, injectors, pump, 115mm FMIC, profect B, HKS twin, light weight fly etc etc

i didnt want huge KW, torque was what i wanted, and torque is what santa bought me :(

15lbs 240AWKW

18lbs 308AWKW

torque 855 n/m from 3800-7400RPM (redline)

this was a nice safe tune too.......

this was a 8 month ordeal, that has cost me a fortune, would like to thank everyone, especially moderators, SKid etc for all the advice, has been really helpfull (shit this sounds like a oscar award speach! :D ) tihs forum is bloody great!

cheers robbie

Sounds great Robbie, must pull haaard!!.

2860-5 turbos look to have similar response to the stock GTR turbos. Only a ~400rpm sacrifice, is this correct?

I ask because I want to replace my stock turbos eventually and was leaning towards the HKS GTSS turbos but your 2860-5's look to be great for response also.

hey bakes

what i have read, is the GTSS turbos will/are more streetable, more responsive, but when you want to go higher then about 330AWKW the 2860-5 are the way to go (cue. correct me if im wrong?) have to ask someone else about them being as responsive as standard, but i would think you would loose a bit of response due to the fact these turbos are larger (cue. correct me if im wrong?)...

CS net

and yes i was quite surprised with the torque, i know the new G4 Link is really tune-able, i just told my tuner to go for max torque, i wasnt searching for mega KW's

hope this is some help......

Sounds good donkey.

For those interested this has been my experience on r33 gtr's.

Standard turbos are all in by ~3500rpm

GTSS- ~3700rpm

2860-7 ~4000rpm

2860-5 ~4600rpm

These figures are when the car starts really moving, not just when full boost is just reached as there is usually a slight delay.

Some people may have made them slightly more responsive with tuning.

Anyone managed to better these? If so, with what supporting mods/cam timing etc?

yeah the -7 are the same/similar to the GT SS......

most people say if you want torque/response go the GT SS, i dont know how much torque the GT SS turbos on my set up would produce, i would be keen to find out, i know they would have better response, but torque?

but dam i spent alot to get these beast's to work, i think looking back on it i would have gone GT SS, just the mods/gaskets etc for the garrets gets expensive, and the supports to make them work is alot of coin......to get the full potential out of them you really want to go 20lbs+ and then you need to mod oil pump, sump, returns, prob go forged god the list goes on.....

The 2860-7's are more responsive than the 2860-5's yeah? Aren't the 7's a smaller turbo?

I'd like to see a bar of boost by mid three's... Who know's if I'll get it lol.

Yep the -7's are smaller. Hence they come on boost earlier but make less than the -5's in the top end.

hmmm

correct me if im wrong, but if my max torque figure is starting at 3800rpm wouldnt that mean that they are running at full boost?

robbie

Absolutely... I would suggest the scaling on the dyno graph is incorrect or the ramp speed of the dyno was set very slow.

Next time you drive the car watch the tacho in say 3rd gear when you can actually watch the transition and see when it hits full boost and when it starts really going. That will be the point its actually making peak torque.

Wherever peak torque is, you'll have bucket loads of pull. I would be very surprised if -5's were pulling at 3800rpm.

Let me know when you have a chance to feel on the road where it actually picks up.

Remember on the dyno you can create excessive load that you would never see on the road making boost ramp up far quicker than it could on the road.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
