Gt35r Vs Garrett T04z - Discussion (just Post In This Thread To Create A Database)


Recommended Posts

which started the thread ... :)

speaking of this thread, bottom end is complete, head is back ... 264 in 272 ex

Only finalising oil pump (got an N1, but afraid of using it) before the whole she-bang goes in.. should be able to update in a handful of weeks when motor is run-in and dyno-ed.

BTW 1.06 housing 35R on worked 26...

Tomek

LOL very true Tomek - sorry, keep on forgetting haha!

It'll be awesome when it's done I reckon. I'm interested in seeing how your 1.06 housing spools....mine's a .82

I'll have to pay close attention to the tacho and see extactly when the GT35 begins to spool and when it hits full boost and see how much of a difference it makes with the adjustable cams when I get them. It's meant to be quite noticeable according to the thread :)

Also guys, just a little question going on from the Cam gears. What happens with the variable valve timing if you replace the intake cam gear as well - not just the exhaust gear like some people do?

Do you disable the variable valve timing? I take it that most of you would have come across this already seeing that you'd be running adjustable cam gears.

rb26 dont have variable valve timing

Vspec R33, thanks for the info mate - very much appreciated as always. The thing is that I'm not on terribly big budget but nor do I want to take out a loan for the mods. I guess you see a lot of people who have these massive horsepower cars and a sh[t load of money and you wonder how the hell they do it. This is a bit of a reality check. Ideally you'd want to have it all on there at once but I've chosen to span it out over a couple of main stages that should see it complete by around April.

Stage 1: (completed)

Manifold, turbo, braided oil and water lines, fpr, 2 into 1 air intake pipes, turbo to intercooler pipe, stainless dump to 3" system, safe tune

Stage 2:

Fuel pump, adjustable cam gears and re-tune with retardation and advancement as per your recommendations (pump's not providing enough pressure and cam gears would make the car more stable for now)

Stage 3:

Haltec E11 or Power FC plus full tune up

Stage 4:

Intercooler, oil cooler, fuel cooler, splitfire coilpacks.......etc etc

Those are the stages. Obviously it would be most efficient to do them together as it would save money in re-tuning but seeing that it's a daily driver and I'm currently putting up with it's lumpyness (carefully) I have to get the work done progressively. I'm sure there are plenty of people on here in the same boat. Some may be lucky to have a second daily driver so that the project can be left in the garage.

Vspec R33, what do you think of them stages?

I'd suggest moving the power fc to the top of your modifying list, and add it a good wideband exhaust gas monitor. Have a look at www.plxdevices.com and their DM200 series gauge systems with the SM-AFR module. These combined with a power FC Datalogit make for a very powerful tuning aid. The ability to monitor your AFR's at all load points, as well as monitor knock at all load points allows you to properly optimise and make safe what you already have, and of course what you will have further down the track.

Its wise to make changes that affect one system all at once. Eg, injectors, fuel pump, FPR and cooler all as one modification, then re-tune etc. I'd suggest fuel system mods after the PFC/AFR/Datalogit upgrade.

The rest of your planned mods dont really matter what order they happen in. Basicly your after more power and at the moment you dont have the minimum supporting modifications to make that safe. Once youve got the engine management and fuel system you can do whatever you want next. You will already be making a lot more power so i'd lean towards reliability mods like the oil cooler first and save cam gears and intercooler for last.

To answer your other question, Rb26's dont have VVT, so you dont have to worry about that.

Cheers,

If the point of this car is a lot of track work, possibly look into an ECU with more track orientated features such as anti lag and flat shifting as these can also help your times.

Damn here I go thinking that they did have some form of intake valve adjustment :banana:

Ok, that's all fair enough. There is conflict between recommendation on here and what other people say but that's cool. Perhaps I'll just go for the ECU first along with a set of adjustable cam gears to specify the degrees of advancement and retardation that you wrote in a previous post.

So, immediately from here PFC and adjustable cams are highest priority? I'll focus on getting the engine running properly and safely first by the means of the PFC/Gears and then slowly build up the mumbo AFTER that has been achieved.

Guys, my tuner told me that he could make the GT3582 run without the computer and that is obviously incorrect now. I guess it's some results for the thread. Results of what NOT to do, but results nevertheless:

Bolt internally gated GT3582 onto stock RB26 engine with factory support. Only mod is 3" exhaust and pods.

304.6rwhp on 15 pounds (torque as per picture posted previously)

Is drivable but can be a bit bumpy at 60km/h

Drives fine on highway at 100km/h

Comes on boost at around 4500rpm

Extremely laggy below 4000 (lol)

Quite fun above that :P

There we go, my results for the SAU community ;-)

I'll definitely keep posting up my results on here. The car should transform with the computer and cam gears dialed in to suit the bigger turbo. I'll look at the exhaust sensors as well - makes sense to use a decent one with your new computer.

wow. thats the same response as annas t04z at the moment with no tune change..

i strongly suggest you get an ecu without airflow meters.

powerfc + z32 afmx2+injectors= $

or haltech + injectors = $

makes plumbing alot easier and your not counting on 12year old airflow meters.

Yep I've been tossing up between the two.

LOL yes she's a lag monster at the moment. Computer and cams and full re-tune should change that! Well it better lol!

I'll post up all results - it should be an interesting thread so long as the RB don't blow up before hand :domokun:

there are quite a few votes for the vipec ecu's going around. They aren't that expensive and pack a lot of features.

probably a very similar price to buying the powerfc + 2x z32 AFM's

Edited by TiTAN

were not looking at the same autronic software if they look even remotely similar.

http://www.autronic.com.au/ vs http://www.vi-pec.com/ they look the same how?

Edited by TiTAN

My tuner reckons that despite all the awesome computers out there he's found that the plug and play Power FC setup is one of the best he's ever used for mixed street/race applications.

But yeh guys, I'm trying to decide between the E11 V2 and the Power FC. Both of the ECU's have their own qualities and offcourse the E11 is the better choice out of the two with many more features not to mention that it gets rid of your AFM's. This is going to be a decision as hard as chosing between a GT35 and T04z haha - could almost start a new thread (omg that rhymes) :D

If I buy a PFC I run the risk of not liking it and having to sell it again for less and then buy the E11. Apparantly RB26's with a big single + 2 into 1 air flow pipe are a b[tch to tune with a PFC, unless you go for the D-Jetro version which I think eliminates the need for AFM's.

....but then some claim they plug in and play just fine! I've got a big document here where a tuner compared the E11 and PFC back to back on a R32 GTR. Will have to go through it.

Just wondering what you guys think. I'm sure there's a even spread of E11's and PFC's out there. (maybe...lol)

    • 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.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
