Well it seems that we are on similiar paths for our race cars then. Our goal is to eventually get to the 550rwhp mark with our gt35r though we already run the 1.06 rear. That amount of hp in a rear wheel drive car is around the most you could really actually use. Unless you can get some super trick suspension setups to help get that power to the ground. Just gotta find the right balance for all of it.

I wouldnt be suprised if a split pulse setup actually helps the response abit more then what it is atm. By alot of comparisons that seems to be the case and in theory it makes sense.

I drove it home and back to work again this morning. My only comment on the matter will be :)

As for smell Nismoid - smells like lollipops every time you put your foot down and after sitting over night it smells like sugar cane mulch but much less pungent in the cabin.

I left lollipops all down the highway in 4th

lol E85, feeds both power and sugar addictions at once :D

Theres a fair bit of buzz around some new borg warner turbo's due to hit the market soon, ti exh wheels, billet comp wheels, dual bb etc. I'm told the 8374 will be a sweet match to the rb26 for us 35r converts.

The only currently available line that can be used 100% with E85 is the Teflon braid 200 series stuff. However the cost to get all the fittings crimped is astronomical so we went with what the sprint car guys are running and it's the blue Goodyear pusklock hose. It's not impervious but we will be changing it out each year. At $15 a meter it doesn't brake the budget.

(Which is extra good for someone like Noel)

Why would you use crimp fittings with the teflon hose when there are screw together fittings designed for the job?

Because no one we buy from knew anything about them and the teflon braid was a lot more expensive. Purely a $ decision

The car smells like North qld at harvest time. The power delivery is just brutal. 1st 2nd and third may as well not exist. 4th is squirrelly as all fark and 5th just holds on. Time for some new semi's.

And it aint over yet. More tuning this arvo.

*can't get any power down... Lets try and make some more

:no:

does it have semi's at the moment or just standardish street rubber? much camber on the rear? subframe bushes? stiff springs/shocks?

if you wanted to save the expense of the twin scroll setup, a water meth injection kit with some nitromethane addative will get you that last 20kw for a lot less $$

3rd gear powerskids FTW!

Get up it Noel :ermm:

Noel is officially part of the 400kw club.

Just pulled a 547.5hp run. don't know if they're finished yet....I had to get back to finish putting some engines together.

The setup I drove home on last night hadn't had the EGT's done yet so this morning we installed them and sent it back. Temps were at 600deg so Sean decided to give it some more. Same boost as well.

Drag's tomorrow so fingers crossed my baby holds together like the rest of them.

I'm sure Noel will post final results when they are done but he's had a pretty long day so if he doesn't then I will

pulled up at 555 hp, I now officially belong in this thread,

Cams havnt been touched yet and still shitloads more but enough is enough. I am happy.

Huge thanks to Dan of ERD fame for his herculian effort to get the fuel setup operational in time and to Sean of EFI for more of his magic.

Will post up a pic of the graph later this evening.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
